Critchley, Paul
When I meet people who have never seen my paintings I’m often asked to describe them; to pigeon hole them with an acceptable “-ism”.

Duffy, Terry
For me the act of painting for painting’s sake is pointless, it is the potential to release ‘new life’ from the material that is more important, to communicate deeper levels of understanding and perception that is challenging. I create translucent abstract spaces for the mind and eye to enter, move around in and interact with.

Being both ephemeral and unpredictable, fire isn’t a particularly classical ‘sculptural’ phenomenon.

My work often incorporates materials and objects which possess a history; remnants of what once existed. I am intrigued by the mystery found objects can possess, and how or why they are eventually discarded. Finding interest and worth in something that is perceived as worthless – the process of salvaging.  
Galbraith, Laird
AUTOBIOGRAPHOBIA Anton Chekhov had what he described as ‘autobiographobia’- a horror of self-exposure. It is not only the famous who are the subject/victims of the modern media.
