Carlos explores the relationship between modern city-dwellers and the giant concrete and glass edifices which delimit their horizons. He is particularly intrigued by the contradictory emotions evoked for him by such buildings where a sense of awe at their majestic scale and thrilling geometry often co-exists with feelings of emptiness and desolation.
Lucy Duke, 1975-78 Camberwell School of Art B.A.Hons Fine Art (Painting). Duke uses watercolour and pastel to create works on paper of domestic scenes and landscape, some being more abstract than others. Her practice is drawing in colour with paint or chalk direct from life. All are inspired by the beauty of the present moment and vigilant observation to connect with that.
Vivienne Hainbach was born and brought up in Germany and Ireland. Moving to England in 1994 and currently works in South West London. In 2005 she graduated from Wimbledon School of Art with a Masters Degree in Fine Art Painting. Since then she has been drawn to minimal mediums, primarily paper and focusing on the motive of an image.
Her works are monochrome studies of abstract floral shapes and patterns. Working in this way focuses the attention onto the shape and form of the surfacet and it is here that the imagination begins to find and search for meaning. Drawing huge inspiration from light, and it's passing movement.
