CLAPHAM ART GALLERY is delighted to present its 2004 edition of YOUNG GODS. A unique selection of BA and MA graduates has been invited to show a combination of their final pieces or new work. Their practises are varied, but all share a very high standard of critical awareness as well as technical expertise. By combining mediums such as video, sculpture, installation, printmaking, photography and painting, this show promises to be a vibrant celebration of current concerns. CLAPHAM ART GALLERY is confident that, as in its inaugural year in 2003, YOUNG GODS will provide a discerning and perceptive insight into the most recent generation of contemporary artists.

Jo Allesson (Royal College of Art: MA in Painting)
Alleeson creates beautifully rendered ethereal landscapes in oil. Her illusive works are concerned with 'exploring the boundaries between the experience of seeing and the experience of imagining'. Almost monochromatic, form subtly gives way to abstract marks and vice versa. These eerie imaginings are sensual, otherworldly and deeply atmospheric.
