Michael Dalley

Michael Dalley: Michaels' latest mixed media UV compositions were the progressive product of inspirational trips in the hedonist metropolis, where the ecstatic energy of dance music creates an orgy of motion. Intoxicating the senses, inspiring euphoric creativity, a neon feast for the eye, transcopic illuminae.

Roy Carter

Roy Carter: Born in North London, 1938 is a self taught Artist / Sculptor working with various mediums, Marble being the primary one. Geoffrey
Bennison the Artist/Designer, and my mentor for many years, gave me my leaning towards Architecture and Classical influences. Much of my previous work is by commission. Some of my work is the ordinariness that seems to pass through our lives unnoticed, but when featured in another concept and material- it takes a step forward! Over the past few years, I have begun to diversify into the wider realms of colour and other mediums, opening up a new and untapped part of myself.

Richard Heeps

Richard Heeps: Richard's photography is both art and documentary. He has pursued a wide range of projects with a superb eye for colour and composition, and a keen awareness of the narrative behind the image. He is regularly exhibited at home and abroad in some of the best art and photography galleries. In his acclaimed work, he uses colour to create cool, descriptive images. However, the sophisticated pictorial structures refuse to descend into cloying nostalgia.

Susan Laughton

Susan Laughton: 'My work begins as a response to the light and weather of the northern landscape: Moorland, urban sprawl, dereliction and regeneration. I search for glimpses of poetic beauty in the changing skies, rusting metal, power lines and peeling paint.'

Robin Eckardt

Robin Eckardt: Her style lends itself to quite large canvases as this allows Robin to fully explore the boundaries of a highly varied and colourful palette of materials. She always uses mixed media in order to create work that is completely different and exciting yet aesthetically pleasing. The work is energetic and instinctive, which adds to the
dynamics of the painting and Robin's personal expression. The ultimate aim is to leave the viewer with a sense of emotion and experience.

create textures in her paintings bringing to life the landscapes. Together with her exciting use of light, her paintings often look almost photographic.

Hamilton and Ashrowan

Hamilton and Ashrowan: Fine Art -within new media. Their work has focused on two themes-moving image landscape observation (most recently ' A Landscape Symphony', 2006) and large multi-screen digital installations (Threshold Artspace' installation, 2005). They find that the medium of high definition video offers them the creative possibility of experiencing a deep and penetrating connection to the world they observe. Ruskin's ideas on the nature of observation and on drawing have deeply informed their work. Most recently they have completed a new work from a filming trip to Norway and are working with The National Galleries of Scotland and Dulwich Picture Gallery London in preparing an exhibition that conveys the site of Ruskin portrait by Millais. A Landscape Symphony in 22 Movements by Hamilton and Ashrowan is currently showing at -The Ruskin Gallery at Cambridge School of Art which is a department of Anglia Ruskin University until the 18 October 2006. Hamilton&Ashrowan-the work for sale-The Landscape Symphony in 22 Movements.
The artist's work is available as a framed LCD work - limited edition of 5.
