Amy Bessone Small Refuge 1, 2020 Mixed Media on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) The work of American artist Amy Bessone draws on representations of the female figure throughout history. Described by Bessone as "feminine archetypes", these subjects form a central component of her paintings and sculptures, and reflect a range of sources, including ancient marble nudes, Renaissance reliefs and personal souvenirs. As the focal point of her evocative and playful landscapes, the artist's longstanding engagement with the female form relates to her desire to develop an artistic practice that is accessible. As she has commented, "what is more universally relatable than the human body?"
Bessone's meditations are informed by an interest to subvert existing portrayals of women in the cultural sphere, and the artist is equally passionate about citing art historical tropes which may appear in opposition to contemporary feminist ideals. Found objects are another key aspect of Bessone's practice. The items she cites within her work, especially in relation to her small-scale figurines and ceramic works, have been termed by Bessone as her "muses".
 Bessone was born in 1970 in New York, USA. She studied in Paris and Amsterdam from 1989-1995, earning a BFA from Parsons Paris School of Design, and received further education at De Ateliers, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The artist lives and works in Los Angeles, California,

Guglielmo Alfarone Reneque, 2020 Graphite and Watercolour on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) "My work draws the viewers in, shakes them, screams at them with demanding subjects. The figures portrayed staring intensely. Each subject is deeply engaged with the own history, present but at the same time detached. They are the youth of a disenchanted world, proudly brandishing their own disillusions to a distressed observer. The young faces depicted embrace several feelings; through these emotions the characters affirm their genuine presence (their Da-Sein) only in the present moment since they have no yesterday and no tomorrow, no drive nor ambition."   Born in Italy, Guglielmo Alfarone has participated in national and international exhibitions since the age of 17. Among others, he has taken part at the Venice Art Biennale and performed one of his «live paintings» in the gardens of the Guggenheim Museum of Venice.

Corinna Button Away from the Flock II, 2020 Oil and Mixed Media on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Renowned painter-printmaker Corinna Button RE explores themes of feminine identity, her distinct practice being defined through her application of texture and patterning.   Female portraits emerge through layers of paint and mixed media, with a rich yet playful sense of becoming; imprints of decorative fabric meld the language of painting and printmaking into a spontaneous and energetic exploration of movement and identity. Button employs a strong, confident use of line, reminiscent of the Cubist movement, to give form to her female studies. Button says, "My aim is not to create exact likenesses, but rather to create prototypical or archetypal figures whose personality or identity is both partly exposed and partly hidden beneath the surface."   After completing her Fine Art degree at Leeds, Button went on to study an MA in Printmaking in London. Her work is held in many high-profile collections including the V&A Museum in London, Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, Jiangsu Art Museum in China and the BBC. Button also exhibits regularly in America and her work is featured in several publications including 'Extraordinary Sketchbooks' and 'Printmaker's Secrets' (Published by A&C Black).

Renowned painter-printmaker Corinna Button RE explores themes of feminine identity, her distinct practice being defined through her application of texture and patterning.   Female portraits emerge through layers of paint and mixed media, with a rich yet playful sense of becoming; imprints of decorative fabric meld the language of painting and printmaking into a spontaneous and energetic exploration of movement and identity. Button employs a strong, confident use of line, reminiscent of the Cubist movement, to give form to her female studies. Button says, "My aim is not to create exact likenesses, but rather to create prototypical or archetypal figures whose personality or identity is both partly exposed and partly hidden beneath the surface."   After completing her Fine Art degree at Leeds, Button went on to study an MA in Printmaking in London. Her work is held in many high-profile collections including the V&A Museum in London, Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, Jiangsu Art Museum in China and the BBC. Button also exhibits regularly in America and her work is featured in several publications including 'Extraordinary Sketchbooks' and 'Printmaker's Secrets' (Published by A&C Black). She is a respected member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers.

Jonas Burgert Log, 2020 Graphite on Paper Signed recto 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Jonas Burgert is a contemporary German artist working in darkly comic, large-scale paintings. He is best known for his use of animals and people as ornamentation, often portraying them in the midst of ritual acts such as in Second Day Nothing (2008). Burgert's work has been compared to Hieronymous Bosch for its fantastical and tortured imagery, and his frequent use of North African motifs, which is inspired by a period when the artist lived in Egypt. Born in 1969 in West Berlin, Germany, he graduated from the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts in 1996 with his earliest works consisting of series of fractal images created collaboratively with the artist Ingolf Keiner. Burgert's first solo exhibition was at the Produzentengalerie Hamburg in 2006, and he has since been widely shown, including solo shows at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art in 2008 and the Blain Southern Gallery in London, in 2014. He lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Imam Raad Gaze (Zipolite), 2020 Acrylic on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.)

He is currently a resident at the Queens Museum Studio Program, and an adjunct faculty at The Cooper Union School of Art. He lives and works in New York City.   Iman Raad works across a variety of media, including painting, drawing, embroidery, graphic work and performance lectures. In these diverse works, he draws on influences such as Persian painting, Mughal painting, South-Asian Truck painting and internet image culture. He combines these local references with contemporary subject matter to create his mural-like installations. Using a vivid, high key palette, altered perspective, and repetition that mimics digital glitches, the result is a riot of colour and movement that is both seductive and unsettling. Traditionally ornamental elements such as birds, fruits and flowers are recalibrated into subjects that carry narrative import and are given animate, unnatural presences. These are intertwined with social events and historical moments rendered in fantastical ways to draw in the viewer.   Aside from painting, Raad is also an internationally acknowledged graphic designer, included in The Phaidon archive of five hundred designs that matter, representing the contemporary Persian graphic design movement.   His recent solo exhibitions include Sargent's Daughters Gallery, New York (2021 -forthcoming), In Her Sweetest, Saddest Plight, Dastan Gallery at Frieze New York (2020), Tongue Tied, Sargent's Daughters Gallery, New York (2017) and Forty Drawings and So, Dastan Gallery, Tehran (2016).

Tim Bavington Metabolism 1, 2020 Watercolour and Pencil on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Music is the genesis of Tim Bavington's paintings. Through synthetic polymer paint, Bavington acts as a translator between the aural and the visual as he transforms guitar solos, melodies and bass lines into vertical bands of color. Tracks from bands such as The Darkness, Oasis and The Rolling Stones become vibrant bands of color, and bridge compositional concepts between seemingly unlike disciplines. Although Bavington has a method that designates sound to color and composition, the paintings are not literal translations; they remain open to intuition and decision-making, allowing for a distinct artistic presence.   Tim Bavington (b. 1966, England) received his BFA from the Art Center (CA) before making the permanent move to Las Vegas, where he completed his MFA at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (NV).

Alan Furneaux St. Ives Train @ Hayle Cornwall (plein air), 2020 Gouache on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Alan Furneaux was born in London in 1953. Artists such as Frost, Hitchens, Nicholson, Matisse, Klee, Picasso, Braque, to name but a few, were all early influences of his art. However, at the age of 14, he was greatly influenced by the English painter, Patrick Heron, for his simple and direct approach. Alan left Secondary Modern School at 17 and went to Reigate School of Art for two years, although he did not make art his career until much later.

Tim Bavington Last Night 1, 2020 Watercolour and Pencil on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Music is the genesis of Tim Bavington's paintings. Through synthetic polymer paint, Bavington acts as a translator between the aural and the visual as he transforms guitar solos, melodies and bass lines into vertical bands of color. Tracks from bands such as The Darkness, Oasis and The Rolling Stones become vibrant bands of color, and bridge compositional concepts between seemingly unlike disciplines. Although Bavington has a method that designates sound to color and composition, the paintings are not literal translations; they remain open to intuition and decision-making, allowing for a distinct artistic presence.   Tim Bavington (b. 1966, England) received his BFA from the Art Center (CA) before making the permanent move to Las Vegas, where he completed his MFA at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (NV). His work is included in the public collections of Fredrick R. Weisman Collection (CA), Crocker Art Museum (CA), Honolulu Art Museum (HI), Albright-Knox Art Gallery (NY), Creative Artists Agency (CA), Joslyn Art Museum (NE), Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (CA), Portland Art Museum (OR), United Talent Agency (CA), Vivendi Universal (CA), Palm Springs Art Museum (CA), Denver Art Museum (CO), The Museum of Modern Art (NY), Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, Utah State University (UT) and the McNay Art Museum (TX). He has exhibited at LeeAhn Gallery (Daegu), Jack Shainman Gallery (NY), Galerie Jean-Luc & Takako Richard (Paris), Space Gallery (London), Museum of Fine Arts (MA), Laguna Art Museum (CA), Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Buenos Aires, and the Texas Fine Arts Center (TX) among others.

Bill Adams Untitled, 2020 Ballpoint Pen and Watercolour on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Bill Adams is an American Post-war & Contemporary artist was born in 1957. He studied Fine Art at Indiana University, Bloomington in 1986, and his work has been featured in numerous exhibitions at key galleries and museums, including the White Columns and the 56 Henry.   Bill Adams is known for his obsessive drawings in ballpoint pen that offer a roster of furry creatures in simple perspectival landscapes. While they are not anatomically aligned with known animals, they possess a surprising power to solicit our interest and empathy. What is their condition exactly? Like staring sentinels, they express a cartoon version of existential anxiety-watchful, hopeful, sad, stoic, and bewildered. Their lower bodies seem to be merged with the ground, fixing them in place like monuments. The intimate scale of these works and their accumulation of short pen strokes are reminiscent of the dense vision of Leonardo Da Vinci's "deluge drawings," and their compositions owe something to the surreal elegance of Salvador Dali's imagery. The unmistakable blue palette brings to mind bored students with Bic pens, filling the pages of their notebooks with fantastic beings.

Oliver Dorrell Pool Party, 2020 Gouache, Watercolour and Ink on Postcard Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) British artist Oliver Dorrell is a gifted storyteller, his strange yet intimately fascinating tales of travel to places such as India and North Caucasus offer unique insight into the experience of the world. So too Dorrell's colourful paintings seem a translation of sorts, a fantastic and painterly view into hidden places. The artist's pictures are distinguished by a sense of imaginative narrative and are rich tapestries of folktales, mythologies and impressionistic travel vignettes. Symbolic landscapes and figures evoke a sense of mystic interludes and the artist frequently draws upon imagery from regional religious imagery, terrain and the intersections of culture and experience. Because Dorrell studied anthropology he brings to his work, a knowledgeable and yet simultaneously open mindset that allows him to take in the idea of influence, preconceived notions, meaning and as well understand the complexity of the view of the traveller or the interloper. Through this process emerges a series of pictures that are often compared to the work of Marc Chagall and yet represent a contemporary world of symbiotic experience, place and tradition.   The artist holds his MA with Distinction, Painting, Wimbledon College of Arts, University of the Arts, London and his BSC, Anthropology, University College London. Dorrell has participated in a number of group shows including at Blasé, London 2019 and 2018; Lewisham Art House, London, 2018; Wimbledon College of Art MA Show, London, 2018.

Eric Inkala 6 Eyes in Blue, 2020 Acrylic on Paper Signed recto 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Brooklyn-based Eric Inkala is a self-taught artist whose highly visual and ever-evolving style has ripened from graffiti to pop art to contemporary art. His work presents a playful graphic language in the form of a signature character who serves as a vehicle for an autobiographical narrative. It's through this personal storyline that Inkala is able to channel thoughts and emotions into expressions of shape, colour and text. His universally approachable concept is amplified through increasingly complex patterns and symmetry,which over the years have reflected both the abstract escapades of his trademark character and Inkala's own artistic journey. Working primarily in acrylic, his paintings vary in size from large-scale canvas to sculpture, prints and small works on paper.   Eric Inkala was born in Minneapolis, MN. His work has been exhibited nationally at galleries such as THIS Gallery (CA), Parlour Gallery (NJ), Public Functionary (MN), Joseph Gross Gallery (NYC) and most recently at Cass Contemporary (FL) Scope Miami beach and Blackbook gallery in Denver Colorado. His work has also been presented internationally, most recently at Gallery Poulsen in Copenhagen Denmark. Inkala murals have covered walls in Minneapolis, Palm Springs, and at the Ace Hotel in New York City.

Sola Olulode Untitled, 2020 Monoprint on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Sola Olulode (b. 1996) lives and works in South London. Olulode's paintings are nuanced and tender visions of intimacy and community. Her celebrations of black identity, womanhood, femmes, and non-binary people are distinguished by their use of gestural brushwork, indigo dye, wax, oil bar and impasto, which speak of her Nigerian heritage. Allowing the body to take centre stage, she gives prominence to movement, gesture and dance as binding forces which reflect both personal and collective experience, individuality and common strength. Her trademark blues and yellows become metaphors for a state of mind, energy & harmony, dance & meditation, joy & contemplation, love & desire, which reveal the complexity of identities within her communities. In 2018 Olulode was shortlisted for the Evening Standard Art Prize (Final 10) and awarded the Lewisham Arthouse Graduate Studio Bursary.
