Artists exhibiting


John Napier

I studied sculpture at Hornsey College of Art 1960-1965. Later, at Central St Martins, I felt the need to engage with others in communal creativity, in particular performance art. This led ultimately to a 40+ year career in theatre design.  During the last 15 years I have also been doing things secretly for myself.
Since art school I have not exhibited any sculpture. There is no reason that I can summon up for the  existence of these pieces. They possibly owe their existence to the plays of Aeschylus and Euripides. Other than that, I had a need to do them and they exist.

Cameron Foye
  The measured external geometry of the pieces echoes my need for order, but the contrasting textures of steels and other materials express the chaos within.

 Alex Leadbeater

Paintings, prints and digital images.
In Alex's still life pieces, a simple domestic item such as a rusty enamel jug is painted life-size with no narrative context, with layers of paint and distressed surface suggesting its use over a period of time.
Alexandra studied Fine Art at Bath Academy of Art and at Preston Polytechnic in Lancaster. For her first exhibition she was selected for the Serpentine Summer Show in 1981, subsequently showing in public and private galleries in the UK as well as Brazil, Lithuania, Florida, and has work in several private and corporate collections.

Dani Humbertstone

Dani's current work is based upon her thoughts on what it means to belong.  They are allegories on the transient nature of our human life and the beauty and tragedy of consciousness. 
Using recently picked fruits in still life, when they are at their most ripe symbolises in microcosm the intensity of our own life cycles.  Painted in oils from life, thereby translating three dimension into two - to capture the essence of the subject.  As the fruits slowly age she tracks their gradual decline in the painting as she works.

 Alison Trask 
Alison lives and works in the Weald of Kent and draws most of her inspiration from her rural surroundings both coastline and countryside. 
Her formal art education began at the Kent Institute of Art and Design where she graduated in Design and Illustration. She then gained a masters degree in Sequential Design and Illustration at Brighton University. Her working life has been centred around art including working as a designer and illustrator at an advertising studio in London. Her current work is mainly representative of mood and space. Working in oils and watercolour Alison also experiments with other techniques and media.

Corinne C Thompson
Corinne’s oil paintings reflect a sense of the world that goes deeper than the skimmed surface. Layers upon layers build up. She has little idea about the direction of the painting, working from instinct.
Her work has joined private collections internationally and she has had commissions for corporate offices in London.

 Will Taylor
Will Taylor is a fine artist and printmaker.  He favours traditional line techniques in etching, pen, charcoal and silverpoint, and his work always contains a strong element of drawing.  Recurring themes in his work are animals, vernacular buildings and the natural landscape.
He was born in 1963, grew up in Liverpool and qualified as a Mechanical Engineer at Imperial College, London. After a career that culminated in leading projects around the world for an international Management Consultancy, in 2001 he returned to his first passion of art. He attended short schools at the Slade School of Fine Art and Kent Institute of Art and Design but otherwise is predominantly self-taught.

 Clare Winchester
Clare's work leans towards the abstract. The work is contemporary, atmospheric
and evocative. It immediately draws the viewer in with its emotional appeal
and movement that invites exploration. With the wide use of a variety of
techniques, drawn from long experience as a printmaker and painter, Clare
builds up layers of colour and texture by using oils on a waxed board.
The work evolves from memories of walks and places experienced.  Typically
she uses mixed media and a rich, yet subtle, palette of colours to create
pieces which vividly convey a sense of place.
Exhibitions both in local galleries and London including
The Royal Academy Summer Exhibtion 2011.

Andrew Whamond
Andrew Whamond often uses the human body as a starting point for his paintings, but these are not figurative representations of the human form. Instead the body is deconstructed to create a symbolic vocabulary through which the artist expresses the more abstract concepts of humanity and the human experience.
Award winning artist exhibiting widely both nationally and internationally

 Gavin Roweth Sculptor. E Sussex. I work principally in carving limestone and producing cold cast metal and stone sculptures. My sculptures can be figurative or abstract according to where the inspiration has come from. My figurative work will often exaggerate muscle and bone size and weight to add tension and expression to the piece. In my abstract sculpture I look for the simplest of curves and lines that can create the most satisfying of surfaces. I want my work to engage with people on simple sensory levels whatever the subject is. I look to create visually appealing and tactile sculpture and to this end I will often experiment with materials and texture of the piece. Recently I have exhibited at The V & A Museum, Chelsea Flower show and RHS Wisley along with several local venues.

Kathleen Fox
Kathleen Fox’s work presents a personal narrative that is mythical, sometimes playful and often reveals a darker sub-text. Chance and play are integral to her working practice. She explores the elusive world of the unconscious through drawing out finely realised images from randomly created texture. These are generated from diverse materials such as mud, oil and acrylic paint.
Born in South Africa, Fox lives in Cranbrook and exhibits regularly in England, France, Germany, Czech Republic and Portugal. Her most recent residency was at the Freud Museum, London.
Her work is informed by African and Western Mythology, Surrealism and readings in prehistory.
