OLIVER CLEGG creates delicate oil paintings rendered on found boards. Taking children’s toys and dolls as his subject matter, Clegg embraces the nostalgic sense of memory and loss that is inherent within them. Painted on decaying boards that are heavily laden with marks and graffiti, Clegg’s works are testimony to the presence of actual and implied passing of time that can be revealed by the objects of our everyday lives.

The foundation ZAVIER ELLIS’ work lies in a continuous investigation into the instinctive manipulation of materials combined with the use of text. Ellis’ monumental and miniature paintings recall the flux and weathering revealed by the worn and decrepit surfaces of the urban environment in general. Combined with varying uses of text, from spray can graffiti to immaculate or deliberately bad sign writing, Ellis seeks to combine the physical and cerebral in order to subvert the restrictive everyday structures that define our lives.

CONRAD FRANKEL works in the portrait and self-portrait tradition. His circular paintings recall Modern British masters whilst adding a contemporary sense of angst and unease. Frankel penetrates his subjects in order to convey an intense, psychological interpretation of the human condition.
