Angie Hauser's work primarily involves drawing and painting which is often figurative including portraiture. She also enjoys exploring texture and colour in abstract forms that emerge from the use of multimedia materials. Angie was recently selected for the first Guildford House Open exhibition.
Diana Foden delights in taking humble, mundane objects, usually found within the home and aims to present them with an expanded presence and importance. Drawing and painting are her preferred media. This exhibition, ‘Out of the Ordinary’ is perfect for how she would like her work to be viewed.
Emma C Tabor’s drawings include the use of repetitive marks that develop into unique forms. They reflect the complexity of systems containing multiple parts. She has recently been shortlisted for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize.
Colourism meets geometric abstraction in George Simpson’s work, which is completed in acrylics on canvas. The subject matter ranges from personal stories to social commentary and takes in the whimsical on the way.
Paulene Cattle uses textiles and print to convey her interest in the overlooked minutiae of her urban surroundings, often addressing the effects of man and nature on this environment. She is acutely aware of our impact on the planet and works solely with previously accumulated, recycled and found materials.
Sandra Gratrix combines unusual and traditional materials in her drawings. In this series the use of watercolour, rust and gold leaf create semi abstract images of plants.
