Anthony Bryant
Anthony
Bryant has won international renown over the last twenty years for his
spectacularly refined work with wood . His work has been avidly
collected, with examples held in collections as diverse as the V&A
Museum, The Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, The Crafts Council,
The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Arizona State University and the
Contemporary Art Society. Alongside his public career in applied art
Anthony has pursued his personal passion for painting and has made a
natural progression to devote himself entirely to this discipline. His
paintings are abstract, but fiercely expressive, revelling in the dense
application of colour and the physical presence of the paint. Each one
is extensively worked, giving a deeply charged and patinated surface
with a delicate tracery of vestigual colour, which functions as a
subtle backdrop to the final resolution of the painting. He exhibits in
London, Cambridge, the Netherlands and his native Cornwall.

Tim Marwood
Tim
Marwood lives and works near St. Ives. He studied illustration at
Harrow School of Art and joined Linden Artists Ltd., a leading London
Artist agency in 1975. For the past twenty years he has produced the
illustrations for the `Thomas the Tank Engine' comics which are
distributed internationally and are the best selling children's
magazines.
Tim
fulfilled a childhood dream in 1979 by moving to Cornwall. Inspired by
his location in Cornwall Tim gets away from the deadlines of comic
illustration by painting on canvas very delicate pictures of waves
capturing both the serenity and the drama of the Cornish sea in a very
contemporary style.

Andrew Wilson
Andrew Wilson lives and works in St. Ives.
Born in Yorkshire he started exhibiting paintings in 1978, then moved
to Devon and studied ceramics. He opened his own ceramic studio in
1988, and later also studied printmaking. He was elected a Member of
the Devon Guild of Craftsmen in 1999. In 1999 he returned to painting
and moved to St.lves in 2003. He has exhibited widely in both Cornish
and national galleries, including the Penwith Society of Art Spring and
Summer shows.
Andrew describes his paintings as '... of places and feelings, of
created space, an invention arrived at through emotion and exploration
... above all I strive to paint with freedom and without constraint. My
greatest challenge is to breathe life into the work through my own ever
expanding pictorial language.
His paintings are abstracts in bold, hot colours such as red and orange, and cooler blues and yellows.

Julie Oats
Julie
Oats was brought up in Cornwall and currently lives near Truro. She gained
distinction on the Cornwall College Fine Art Practice HND and is at
present following the BA (Hons) Fine Art Degree course at Falmouth College
of Art.
Julie
has exhibited in Newlyn, St.lves, Plymouth, Falmouth and Brighton, with
her last exhibition being a Solo
Exhibition at Falmouth Arts Centre.
Julie
states: `The Cornish landscape is the starting point for my work. I use
landscape to explore painting, and painting to explore landscape. I aim to
paint my experience of my surroundings. I have several places in the
county that I return to, solitary remote places that draw me to them -
I am trying to make tangible that `sense of place' that I feel. Initially
I work from large drawings and photographs, and after a process of
distillation the final image is painted from memory'.
Julie's
paintings are airy and refreshing, with a great use of colour.
