Stanley lost his son, Louis, last year in extremely tragic circumstances. His new emotionally charged work is an honest and powerful expression of his grief that explores spirituality and transformation as a view to immortality.
Images suggest a spiritual transformation with a radiating energy. The ethereal emerges as a sign of hope and optimism beyond our physicality. They are like visions, a spiritual awakening.
Stanley openly explores and dismantles the boundaries between life and death, embracing an age old contemplation.
‘Scatter my immortal soul amongst your eternal memories and I shall see you when the light calls.’

VICTORIA
You could say Victoria has a slight obsession with looking at the world in an obscure way. She focuses on new ways of seeing the world around her by flattening out our 3D world. “Whenever possible I’ll grab the window seat in an aeroplane so I can snap away at the birds-eye views passing me by.”
This privileged view point in the sky gives her intriguing aerial views that flatten out man-made features, in turn highlighting what nature has to offer. Victoria is an abstract painter and printmaker, mark making with mixed media is key to depicting details of these views that she enjoys, scale, space, shape, colour, pattern and texture.
ANJA
The inspiration for Anja’s thrown, stoneware comes from the shapes, colours and detail seen in nature. Her ever popular seed heads and garden decorations are fired at high temperatures so that they can be enjoyed in the garden all year round. Her latest projects are hand built rectangular vases on which she uses a variety of marks and glazes which can also represent abstract landscapes. Her ongoing exploration and experimentation with glazes and decoration techniques means Anja’s work is unique and very collectable.
AUDREY
Mark making, colour and texture are the key elements in Audrey’s landscape paintings. She works in acrylic and oil paint to give the viewer an ‘essence’ of a place rather than a figurative representation. Her work is dynamic and gives a sense of spontaneous impression.
“Artistically adventurous and a creative maverick. Out of the hundreds of artists I’ve interviewed, one of the most interesting. The evolution of this refreshing talent is to the benefit of the art world”
Sandra Smith – Freelance Writer.
Martin was born at the start of ‘the greatest decade in the history of mankind’ ( Danny the Dealer ) and is in many ways a product of the 60s and 70s.
“I grew up on a diet of the Beano, Whizzer and Chips, Tom and Jerry, the Beatles, England winning a World Cup, Slade, Morecambe and Wise, Tootie Frooties and Cresta (it was frothy man). I was just a defenseless kid, unable to prevent this riot of pretty colours, humour and popular culture from working its way into my fledgling psyche.
Most of my family worked in the print industry. Watford was a print town and my grandfather worked at Odhams Press where they printed “Power Comics” called Pow, Smash and Wham. They used to find their way into our family home in Chipperfield. I read these comics and an idea slowly formed that I might like to draw comics as a job when I was a grown up. That led me to Art School to try and learn how. Just around this time Hippies were being phased out and replaced with Punks, and a Punk Rock band called the Sex Pistols released their first LP. The cover looked like a torn up copy of the News of the World floating in a puddle of Cresta. Right away that imagery struck a chord. I understood where that was coming from.
It was at Watford School of Art at the end of the 70’s that they endeavoured to teach me how to draw and paint. But I also learned something else. I learned about Pop Art. There were actual artists painting pictures from comic books on canvas and they were hanging in proper art galleries …‘

Beyond Colour is an exhibition of art work that attempts to lead the viewer beyond the creative expression and into the invisible or the formless. So, how exactly does one paint something that is formless? And what does it look like? It is impossible to paint that which is formless! The universe is that formless which is alive and ever expanding. In art this has been expressed through purest expression in minimalist oils but can also be experienced in more relatable paintings like a simple landscape, a drawing or an illustration. Our physical world is an expression of this very formless breathing expanding universe. To find out more about how to go beyond colour and form, visit us at Wynd Gallery from 22 – 30 Aug, where you will be shown ‘how-to-look’ in just a few steps. This method can be applied to enhance any experience like sipping tea or even a stroll.
