 John Vincent |
 PAINTINGS |
John holds a BFA and MFA in Fine Art. In his own words "In my work I attempt to generate an atmosphere through scene setting. Part of this often involves the concealment of identities as the faces are rarely revealed but is also achieved by the interaction of figures with inanimate objects within the frame. The paintings allude to events beyond the canvas, creating a depth and intensifying the atmosphere generated by what is seen and what is not - a contribution to the work from the viewers own imagination.". |
 Aron Meynell |
 Work |
In Aron's own words "The joy of exploration, and the beautiful places and things that exist only because no one cares enough to get rid of them drive my work. As a boy, I was in love with the debris in the woods and unattended construction sites. Finding abandoned cars was like finding a relic – a relic that had been left for future demolition, like a gift or sacrifice to all who pass. The purpose of my work is to depict characters unconcerned with the barrenness that wreckage and isolation can embody. These are interactions fueled by the freedom of being alone and the seductive aura that resonates from the dirty". |
 Donald Macdonald |
 Donald Macdonald |
In Donald's words "My work is about the study of the human figure,its ergonomics,physical limits and its construction. I am fascinated by the transparency of skin and trying to capture the network of tones which flow beneath it.I find it more important for the painting to look "alive" than "real" in the photographic sense of the word. I try to capture the esscence of life or the soul of the figure,i try to create a tension between the expressive side of my work with the photo realism side,bringing both together to create a whole,a person in the spiritual and physical sence." |
