Assia Bennani Vision I Gouache on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Assia Bennani is a Moroccan painter artist based in London. She grew up in Casablanca and moved to Paris at age 18 to study interior design at the LISAA School of Paris Eager to explore different universes, Assia spent several years navigating between interior design, children's book illustrations and mural art. After moving to Hong Kong in 2007 where she spent 13 years, Assia's identity as an artist began to take shape and express itself. Her painting work is made of a mosaic of textures & patterns, reflecting her multi-cultural background and contemplative personality. Each place where she lived has left a mark and through painting, she explore times, spaces and cultures. The viewer is invited to travel in a new dimension where all those elements will gracefully blend. She aims to explore the complex topic of identity, how it evolves and grows through multicultural experiences. A fruitful journey where cultures, traditions and innovations happily find each other, a celebration of diversity and differences. Assia's paintings are formed with layers and layers of reworking, mixing figurative and rigorous details with evanescent, calming textured compositions. Her creative process is quite intuitive. The exploration through paint is led by a quest towards harmony and flow. She uses mostly acrylic paint, and although she sees her academic training in mural decorative art as a solid starting point, Assia like to use other medium like ink, gouache and oil paint.

Allison Gildersleeve Untitled (2) Ink and Gouache on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Behind Allison Gildersleeve's canvases, collages and drawings lies a singular proposition: places are not inert; they are repositories for all that passes through them. Gildersleeve deliberately returns again and again to familiar settings - wooded areas, home interiors, open highways, back country roads - to show that repeated visits to the same place invariably result in wildly divergent depictions. Gildersleeve received her MFA from Bard College in 2004, and her BA from College of William and Mary in 1992. Gildersleeve has exhibited widely across the United States and abroad. Notable solo exhibitions include Olle Nymans Ateljeer (Stockholm, SE), Asya Geisberg Gallery (New York, NY), Auxiliary Projects (Brooklyn, NY), Robischon Gallery (Denver, CO), Cynthia Reeves (Walpole NH), Valley House Gallery (Dallas, TX), The George Gallery (Charleston, SC) and Galleri Andersson/Sandstrom (Stockholm, SE). Selected group exhibitions include Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (NY), CRG Gallery (New York, NY), PS122 (New York, NY), Sharon Arts Center (Peterborough, NH), Dunkers Kulturhus (Helsingberg, SE) and Gana Art Space (Seoul, Korea). Gildersleeve was a 2018-2019 recipient of The Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program in Brooklyn, NY. She has been awarded a NYFA Fellowship as well as residencies at Yaddo, the Millay Colony, the Vermont Studio Center, the Liquitex International Research Residency in London and the Norman Bird Sanctuary in Newport RI.

Roxana Halls Laughing Head Watercolour on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Roxana Halls is an award-winning British figurative painter best known for her images of women laughing while escaping from catastrophic situations. She has, for many years, made her studio in the disused bar of a 1930s London theatre. Select Exhibitions/Awards She has held several solo exhibitions including at the National Theatre, South Bank, London, with Colley Ison Gallery, Birmingham, Hayhill Gallery on Cork St, London and with Beaux Arts, Bath. Her awards include the Villiers David Prize, The Discerning Eye's Founder's Purchase Prize & The Derwent Special Prize. Her work is held in numerous private and public collections in the UK and internationally including St. Catherine's College Oxford, Katherine Parkinson, Rosa Bosch, Debbie Bliss MBE and Luke Jennings, author of the Killing Eve novels. In 2020 her portrait of Horse McDonald entered the permanent collection of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Gallery Representation Roxana Halls is represented by Colley Ison Gallery in the U.K. and by T.W. Fine Art in the U.S. Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork "My work using laughter explores ways of depicting women's internalised rules of conduct and my perception of their conflicted ever fluctuating response to external expectations. I'm interested in posing questions about the ways in which within contemporary culture women are appraised, influenced & policed and how this 'self- surveillance' circumscribes the repertoire of legitimate actions available to women. Many of the subjects of my paintings offer a riposte to self-consciousness, they often teeter on the verge of indulging in 'catastrophic' behaviour, or at times topple over. They may be inappropriate and immune to self-censure. When I paint images of women laughing, eating or interacting I am always cognisant of the fact that the most seemingly innocuous actions can be subversive, just as acts of transgression may be foregrounded by the prosaic."

Ayse Wilson Can We Touch Now? Acrylic on Painted Wallpaper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Ayse Wilson is a visual artist currently residing in New York City. American and half Turkish, she grew up in Boston, studied classical painting in Florence then attended the New York Academy of Art and worked as a painting assistant to Jeff Koons. Her work draws from memories and emotions uncovering impressions of youth, innocence and the timeless space we occupy when young. She is interested in expressing the uneasy transition to adulthood, the borders of relationships, the delineation of worlds, and the edges where innocence and experience intersect. Education Wellesley College - BA, New York Academy of Art-MFA, Southern Connecticut State - MA, Art Education Select Exhibitions/Awards New York Academy of Art, Scholarship Gallery Representation Geary Contemporary New York, PG Gallery, Istanbul, Amy Simon Fine Art, Connecticut Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork Ayse Wilson's latest series employs toile wallpaper samples as a backdrop for her ambiguous and complicated feelings toward quarantine and domestic confinement. Hoping to narrate how fear of the pandemic unknown, coupled with household anxieties, and increased self-awareness contribute to the mixed emotions of security and hostility towards enforced domesticity within a masked world. The toile tradition represents a nod to the COVID era rediscovery of old-fashioned pastoral lifestyles, and the embrace of self-reliant artisanal practices like cooking, gardening, sewing, and prescribed homeschooling. The colorful inscriptions, some original, some appropriated, remind us of our contemporary connectivity allowing awareness and mindfulness as well as the occasional glossily veiled hostility expressed in certain so-called "love" declarations.

Sandra Chevrier La Cage, Trouver L'espoir Mix Media on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Sandra Chevrier is a Canadian contemporary / pop urban artist, known for her captivating portraits of women from The Cages series. Born in 1983, Chevrier got her Bachelor's degree in visual and media arts from UQAM - L'Université du Québec à Montréal. As a self-taught artist, Sandra Chevrier first fell in love with art as a kid, to her; Art rapidly became a language on its own. At first, she draws sketches of eyes, all the time. This initial obsession is highly visible in her present work. Sandra likes to describe herself as a "gaze collector" and her work; a dichotomy or a dance between power and fragility, freedom and captivity, the poison and the cure. Her work is exhibited internationally and her artworks are now in the collections of art collectors all over the world. Sandra produces work ranging over vastly fluctuating emotional enigmas and concepts that have set the standard of our modern communication, exposing the limitations of our world; our self-imposed expectations and the cages we have allowed to bar us from the fullness of life's experience. With work demanding to be dissected beyond its surface value, Chevrier's portraits are quite literally torn between the fantastical heroics and iconography of comic books and the harsher underlying tragedy of oppressed female identity and the exposed superficial illusion it conveys. In addition to exhibiting a male-dominated world within her 'Cages', Chevrier's subjects denounce the role given to the female counterpart therein, refusing to play the part of seducer or victim. In the greater body of Chevrier's work, the images used within the 'cages' range from scenes of conflict, triumph and defeat. They also represent the social limitations, which corrupt what truly is beautiful and lock women into prisons of highly-codified and narrow identities. By doing so, they are asked to become nothing short of superheroines. Sandra paints masterfully detailed portraiture, making her women seemingly emerge from a surreal world, onto the canvas, wherein a dance is performed between reality and imagination, truth and deception. The artist chooses to highlight the fragility of the superhero, their struggles and weaknesses, and exposes the humanity within the superhuman. Despite all the playfulness of the thing itself and all the "CRASH BAM POW," superheroes are also fragile. We are merely human men and women, and we are entitled to our flaws and errors.

By collecting strangers' portraits on the streets, I'm hoping to create a platform of the ageing bold and the beautiful that encourages people to pay attention to a forgotten but integral demographic in society. 'Rhiannon' stopped me in my tracks in Ludlow, Shropshire in the way that she dressed and carried herself and I hoped to capture her elegant playfulness paying homage to the idea that age is not a deterrent to living fully but rather a venture for exploration conveying a sense of liberation where an adolescents playfulness and freedom to dream complements the wisdom of age.

Adelaide Cioni Go Easy On Me - One Blue with Yellow Stick Mixed Media on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Adelaide Cioni works at the intersection of textile, painting, and performance. The constant elements at the core of her practice are drawing and an absence of narration.

Mandy Hudson Books Oil on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About I am a painter who lives and works in Kent & London. My work is mainly still life. I'm interested in the space between abstraction and figuration, drawing subject matter from accidental arrangements of objects I come across. These can be boxes in a corner shop, furniture left in the street or a plant in a distant window.

Sonia Barton Flower Jug and Pear Acrylic on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Contemporary artist working mainly in the Still Life genre. I have moved many times and these memories constantly resurface through the study of remembered or collected objects. Often explored through a muted or limited palette, with flattened perspective and a naïve distortion of the objects. Many layers of paint are added, areas are scraped back, leaving traces of their previous existence.

Jo Bradford Portal: Sky Cameraless Photography Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Jo Bradford was born in Hertfordshire, UK, and raised in South Africa. She now lives on Dartmoor, UK with her two children. Jo has worked with experimental, alternative process and cameraless photographs in her colour darkroom for over two decades. Jo has exhibited widely and has works in public and private collections around the world. Her work is created using only the primary tools of analogue photography, with precisely timed flashes of light captured on light sensitive paper in utter darkness. These detailed working methods produce in essence a kind of pure photography - not representational of the external physical world, but acutely resonant of something entirely more abstract and possibly internal. Whatever the resonance, there is a subversion, or inversion of the photographic process as it's commonly understood.

Undertaken in a completely black darkroom, in a time-consuming process requiring decades of practiced hand movements to mask light exposures and with continuous precise adjustments made to an array of dials and buttons not visible to the eye my work begins. Combining this with an understanding of the way colours mix in light to create primary and tertiary colours, and through a lot of trial and error and endless patience, hands and masks are used to create areas of shadow, which alter the path of light on its way to the paper during the brief flashes of light exposure. This non-figurative work subverts the established fidelity of the photograph as a record of an object, referring only to itself, without seeking to illustrate or represent anything. In a sense, it is a self-portrait made of photography, whereby the photographic means becomes the object and the medium becomes the subject.
Bunmi Agusto Aruaro (In Blue and Green) Pastel Pencil on Sandpaper, Ink and Watercolour on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Bunmi Agusto's practice follows the inhabitants of a surrealist wonderland in her mind called Within. The indigenous inhabitants of this world are hybrids whose human form is combined with elements she finds integral to her sense of self and cultural consciousness. Non-Hybrid humans are also present in Within as family members, friends and passersby in the artist's waking life are subsumed into the world through encounters and begin to occupy the role of immigrants into her mind. Her works therefore explore cultural theory and the evolution of selfhood through the lens of fantasy. She cites stories such as Amos Tutuola's The Palm Wine Drinkard, Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as major influences. She also works predominantly with pastel pencils and mixed media.

Emma Cousin Travelling Inside My Head Gouache, Tipex and Pen on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Emma Cousin was born in Yorkshire in 1986. Her practice is rooted in drawing, and works on paper form an important part of her thinking and making. She makes paintings that explore the ways in which relationships and communication between the self and others are structured. She is interested in exploring the normative tensions within contemporary society and ideas of the post-human body, and employs a darkly comic parade of female and androgynous characters to do this. Her works respond to the limitations of language when used to articulate the complexities of human experience and emotions in order to consider how we might interact without it, in pre- or post-linguistic states. She lives and works in London. Education Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford University 2004-2007 Skowhegan School of Art 2018 Select Exhibitions/Awards Recent solo exhibitions include Game face, Niru Ratnam Gallery, London, Knock Knock, White Cube (2021); New Dirt, Goldsmiths CCA, London (2020); Milton Keynes Art Centre, UK (2019); Lewisham Arthouse, London (2018); Edel Assanti, UK (2018); and Dolph Projects, London (2017).

Her work is in the Zuzeum Museum Riga, The Samandi Art Foundation, Bangladesh, Aishti Foundation, Lebanon and Azman Museum, Malaysia. Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork Responding to the format of the postcard I thought about travelling, and the idea of a postcard taking you somewhere through descriptions and depictions. I used figures to explore this. Imagining the transportations in the mind/head, the figures are travelling in their minds to find new views, which seemed particularly funny when we have depended on this notion over lockdowns.

Marcelina Amelia Moonlight Watercolour and Acrylic on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Marcelina Amelia is a contemporary artist, based between the UK and Poland, working with mixed media approaches to print, painting and drawing. She often draws inspirations from her Polish heritage, looking to religious iconography and folk tales, as well as childhood memories, the power of dreams, spirituality, sexuality, and the human condition. According to her Mum, Marcelina started drawing before she could properly speak. She has been featured in publications including Booooooom, Bomb, Art Maze, Create Magazine, Digital Arts, Vogue, Refinery29, The NY Times, Der Spiegel and Ballad Of Magazine and is also a founder of art-brand Mesh Studio. She exhibits work throughout the UK as well as internationally and was a featured artist at the 2017 edition of the London Illustration Fair and led The Big Draw sketch walk for Apple. In 2018 Marcelina was Saatchi Art's featured 'Artist in Spotlight' at The Other Art Fair in Bristol and her artwork adorned thousands of tote bags promoting the fair. This year Marcelina was also a featured artist at the Affordable Art Fair Battersea's Live Art event. Added to that her work was displayed at Boxpark Croydon, made an appearance at 2018 London Fashion Week and she has been invited to take part in the infamous 'Art on a Postcard' secret auction alongside some big names in the art world. Rebecca Wilson, the chief curator at Saatchi Art, highlighted Marcelina as an artist to invest in at her talk at The Other Art Fair in London in 2018. In addition, Saatchi curator Monty Preston said she was "unquestionably an artist on the rise" Marcelina says, 'I like to play at the tense borders between lust and innocence; joy and sadness; fun and pain. My interest in juxtaposition comes from my origins and fascination with East European culture which was eloquently described by Grayson Perry as 'nowhere else could such horrific grief be met with such fairly-tale romanticism'. I tend to utilise nature as a metaphor for everyday feelings and headaches. My recent work also dwells into themes of self acceptance, body positivity, representations of the female sexuality, gender, migration, and society. Although some of the subjects I take on are often quite dark I like to think that there is some humour and light in my finished artwork.'

Kate Milsom Difficult Girls Oil and Mixed Media on Fabriano Watercolour Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Kate Milsom (SWA) works from her studio on the Welsh Borders creating elaborate mixed media pieces. She is endlessly fascinated with how and why society functions, what 'rules' we accept to live by, where they are subverted and who among us is brave enough to pay them no heed. Working in series, her paintings often investigate socio-political themes using historical comparisons to highlight contemporary issues. Using the form of narrative portraiture the images are intended to ask of the viewer "Where do I fit in?" and subsequently "Where do you?" and ultimately "Are we all sitting comfortably?". Her work has been described as "subversive, heretical, beautiful, chaotic, surprising, highly weird, spontaneous, and deeply joyful all at the same time." In addition to her own work she is the curator of The Kilvert Gallery, a collection of art work predominantly produced in the past 70 years by a variety of Welsh border artists, and in 2021 was elected a full member of The Society of Women Artists.

Nicole Rose Breeze 1 Oil on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About My work, as an artist and designer, explores my emotional response to the natural world around me. I primarily create abstract paintings based on the landscape. Using layers of oil colour and a sweeping brush technique the finished paintings take on an ethereal quality. Alongside my paintings I also create complementary prints that are at once a reflection of the original painting - and a new perspective on it. Focusing on a photographed section of a finished painting, I work in Photoshop to reimagine and rebalance, creating a run of limited-edition giclée prints that are both a part of the original works - and a fresh response to the landscape in their own right. My current selection of paintings and prints have been created following visits to nature reserves where I records sights, sounds, colours and routes taken, to remember and work from in my studio. I graduated from Central St Martins School of Art in 1992 with a BA in Graphic Design. I have had a successful career as a Creative Director, running my own commercial design studio for many years, and now work from my art studio in North London.
