SUMMER SPOTLIGHTS - SPOTLIGHT ONE

MICK DEAN

Mick Dean's paintings reflect his ongoing preoccupation with the detritus of human endeavour.  All that is built up eventually gives way to the irrisistible forces of nature.  Nowhere is this more apparent than the remnants of London's riverside industries - the wharves and warehouses of the Thames have provided rich inspiration.  Alongside these paintings are Mick Dean's 'lockdown' works from his immediate north London surroundings - inspired by observations whilst walking his dog.  In these works, peeling paint and rusting metal give way to gnarled tree roots and flaking bark. 

CHRISTINE TAHERIAN

Christine Taherian's collaged and painted works capture experiences and moments in life.  She uses colour and form to convey this - giving less weight to the detail and instead giving an impression of the place, atmosphere and era, giving room for the viewer to contribute, creating their own version of the work.

PENNY TIMMIS

Colour, movement and life are the three key elements of a Penny Timmis painting.  Her work has an immediacy that comes from her process and enables her to capture the character particularly of her gaggles of geese and other farmyard characters.

STEPHEN PAGE

Stephen Page's bronze sculptures have a timeless quality.  His ability to strip away any extraneous information and to distill his imagery down to the essence of the animal - combined with his exceptional skill in patination produces work that captures his subject and captivates the viewer.
