Lawrence Buttigieg - "My paintings are a balance of physical form and feeling. I penetrate the character of the person and focus on the inward reflective qualities. I slip my view of the subject between the layers of paint. I want my colours to be the colours of life, rendering likeness and personal stylisation inseparable. I am not concerned with the instantaneous image of the model but rather a prolonged record of his or her character."...

Karen Parker - In terms of style I am a Classical Realist. I generally paint with oil, and especially like to use it for portraiture. With some paintings I begin with an imprimatura, for others I use a solid acrylic underpainting, later overpainting with transparent glazes and translucent scumbling and there are times that I paint alla prima. Using these methods, I paint landscapes, still lifes and portraits; painting my subjects from life, as it allows an intimacy that a photograph or a sketch cannot provide. Painting portraits provides me with the opportunity to create a work of art that encompasses beauty and timelessness. I paint with the idea that one day these portraits may become heirlooms, cherished by future generations. ...

Chizz Chizz - Paul Chisholm's work explores notions of what constitutes a perfect world. through landscape paintings. the artist nasks us to contemplate mans relationship with nature - both renewal and destruction - life's cycles. The artists concerns are with the state of the world in the 21st century. Paul's work contrasts idylic country landscapes with post-apocalyptic toxic wastelands, raising issues of impending climate change, over-population, lost wildlife habitats, polution and over consumption in a post industrial age. The construction of more and more homes and the creation of ever more material objects is rapidly changing the very fabric of the worlds ecosystems. beneath these paintings is a feeling that life is far from idylic: ironically we are destroying the planet and each other in pursuit of a percieved perfect life.... ...

Bob Gammage - The culmination of capturing a happening in the slipstream of life...the living vibration of the moment forever encased in canvas windows. A coming together, an instance in the life human be-ing, a path of the soul, an innocense of experience; the reflection of the artist's brushstrokes bound with the pulse of humanity. The theatre of life, the artistry of time and space, the dance of light and dark - this is one journey of Bob Gammage....
