Bob Tsang - Photography

Photography is a medium I have always cherished from a very early age - being inspired by not only the beautiful images that my brothers would create, but in the simplistic form of their cameras in the 80s. It wasn't until I was studying my PhD in Engineering that I was serendipitously immersed in the world of imaging, and also by crossing paths with my photography mentor, Peter Davies, who headed my laboratory. My research required extensive use and understanding of a vast array of optics and imaging principles, that included macro imaging to electron microscopy. This knowledge opened up a new world for me and armed with these new skills I fervently pursued photography as a hobby.

Hari Mandhar - Yoga Pose Art

I have always loved painting but also enjoy creating simplicity in process and pursued a career in research and process management. After spending some time away from work, I revisited my love of art and I had a random stint selling illustrations of ravens in Peckham Cafe. Following this, I decided to see if there was interest in buying my art mainly for the reason that I cant keep it all in my flat! I like creating clean lines and movement in art, and love trying to emulate moody skies and seas.

Keith Warne

“I have no plan when I start to paint. I allow my canvas to become completely taken over by my feeling in that particular moment. The material, colour and concept depend entirely on where my emotions decide to take me..... Keith is a contemporary artist from South East London.  I never start a painting with anything particular in my mind. The paint I use and the shape/type of material I use depends entirely on my emotion at the time. I use oil, watercolor, aerosol, pastel and literally anything else I feel like!  I take inspiration from what is occurring in my life and use that emotion to create my work. Painting has given me an entirely new way to express myself and I am at my happiest when I begin to see a new idea come to life.  The limitlessness of painting in this style allows me to become totally free, something that has been difficult to achieve in other ways during the huge lockdown periods caused by Covid 19. It has been my escape and my focus and I sincerely believe it has maintained my mental health when the pandemic changed my life around me. 

 My beautiful wife Siobhan and my 1-year-old daughter Luna have also had a huge influence on me. Siobhan’s constant support in encouraging me to follow my dreams and our desire to give Luna the best life has driven me to work constantly and to put everything I have in to my paintings.  

 The last year has taught me that if there is something you want, then work as hard as you can for it. Follow your dreams, and follow them now. Life is short”

Will Clarke

Will Clarke’s illustrated prints of architectural landmarks are immediately recognisable. Born and raised in London, Will remains passionate about the changing nature of the urban landscape. With a love for iconic architecture, he has a particular interest in buildings with historical resonance and character. Some time ago Will undertook a six-month drawing of London, as seen from the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral. The illustration he created inspired him to undertake a series of architectural drawings, and he has been fascinated by architecture and the urban landscape ever since.

Screen-printing, more than any other technique, gives Will the precision and control he needs to reproduce his very detailed line drawings. To this detail he likes to add bright blocks of colour and an element of abstraction – none of his drawings are exact renderings of what he sees – in order to produce urban scenes that are unique to his style. All of his original works are hand-drawn, then each edition screen-printed by Will in his studio.

As well as regularly taking on private and commercial commissions, Will has also exhibited at a number of shows in London and across the UK. High profile commissions and clients include the Southbank Centre, Royal Academy of Arts and the NHS.

"Hi, I’m Chris, a painter of many subjects, although in this show my landscapes are predominant. I use oil and also like to paint with drawing ink, which has a nice vibrancy and immediacy that I find very satisfying. I’m drawn to contrasting light conditions, reflections on water, and I love woodlands for the complexity they introduce to the design of the painting. I very much hope you enjoy looking at my paintings"

Spoonful of Rita is an illustrator momentarily trapped in a transitional performance as a server in a popular Indian restaurant in Central London. Between scrapping plates and parroting steps of service she became a refined voyeur of social behaviour and a grumpy critic of table manners. Spoonful of Rita invites you to take a little peek behind the curtains of hospitality through her series of screenprinted illustrations about the silliness and grotesqueness of serving others.

“I always had a big imagination! As a child I used to write stories about parallel dimensions and mysterious creatures.. Growing up, I never fitted into society until the passion for painting came into my life and I found my purpose.
I was born in Florence and moved to London in 2001. In 2004 I started to sell my paintings at Greenwich Market where I still exhibit my work every Sunday.. It is so lovely there! I like the fact that people can see my paintings in the flesh, the vibrancy of the colours, the little details. My style is super unique and one of the reasons is that I'm a self-taught artist and for this I'm grateful! I've created a parallel Universe in my imagination called "The Futuristic World". It's fun, bright, vibrant and full of hidden messages and symbols”
