Emma McIntyre:
Emma's practice involves a kind of painterly cartography – bringing together things such as fabric design, the wobbliness of body’s movement, the modernist grid and Californian sunsets. Mcintyre sets out to create hybrid spatial environments, that the eye may fall into, or race uncontrollably across the surface. While making work for ‘A Trip to the Beach’ McIntyre thought about the song ‘Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini’, bodies on beach towels, jellyfish, and the feeling of watery depths.
Nicholas Pound:
Heavily influenced by contemporary American poetry and my childhood in the nineties here are some artworks from the G.I JOE art movement on the way to the beach .
Anh Tran:
Anh Tran's work combiness everyday life, fiction, digital imagery, and subjective vision. The artist, uses painting as a device to inquire into new possibilities for the medium in our present moment.
