JOE BERGER, HENRY WARD & WILLIAM PACKER
WILLIAM PACKER
William has dedicated his life to the visual arts variously as Teacher, Critic, Curator and Author - and always as Painter. Fot the last 25 years he has focused on still-lives.
Each 'a little world, a tiny city, a paradigm and parallel reality to be explored in the imagination and realised in the act of painting'.
William works in natural light on fast surfaces using a muted colour palette. A regular cast of characters appear in his work often alongside ephemeral wildflowers. The painting and composition can change radically during the process of reconciling space, form and light onto the two dimensional surface of the canvas so the finished image is not always quite what it seems to be.

46 x 38cm framed
£2,200
HENRY WARD
Henry explores the language of paint by investigating the threshold between abstraction and representation.
A seed of inspiration will kick things off - a colour, a shape, a gesture, a memory - then the journey begins. He’ll often return to a work, painting over, adding, re-working. Over time expressive rhythms of colour and form emerge and repeat.
‘I want to make forms that feel familiar but are unnameable, forms that feel as though we might recognise them but are not “actual things”.’

GABRIELA SZULMAN
Gabriela’s whimsical and surreal collages are filled with humour, colour and random evocative connections between images.
‘I love delving into old photograph albums, vintage documents, magazines, books, cards, knitting pattern books and scraps of writing. Second-hand bookshops, junk shops, market stalls, attics and long-forgotten boxes are my treasure trove. I’m an inveterate collector of things that other people discard, and through my work I try to bring them back to life.’
Each unique work is combination of collage and painting. The Art Dolls have articulated arms and their very own personal stories and come ready to hang on the wall.

LAURA JANE SCOTT
Laura’s work is a hybrid of painting and sculpture. Her focus is minimalist, geometric abstraction exploring architectural form and colour. The sleek, even coloured surfaces are painted delicately so that they are free of gestural brush strokes and fields of saturated clean-edged colour appear to float on the surface of the wall.
"My aim is always to express an idea as simply and as elegantly as possible. To strip everything back to only what is necessary to communicate that idea. My work is primarily an exploration of balance, of positive and negative space, of presence and absence."

KATE SCOTT
Kate’s creates abstracts, landscapes and portraits in collage, using acrylic and watercolour. Each piece seeks to find an energy and balance between weights, colours, and edges both hard and soft. She uses tissues and Japanese papers allowing for the layering of colour so that a sense of depth can be achieved.
