Me quo que

By Gina Parr

oil, charcoal and acrylic on canvas

h: 120 w: 140 d: 4 (cms).

The Painting, from the Artist’s series “The great divide“ explores Parr’s experience of being female and hence stereotyped by society as being feminine, and the conflicts and questions often raised by this, as always with her painting, expressed through abstracted scape and form.

“Me quo que”, “Me too” in Latin. The purpose of using the Latin form references the very long history of inequality and abuse leading to the "Me Too" movement which aims to empower women through empathy and strength in numbers, especially young and vulnerable women, by visibly demonstrating how many women have survived sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace.

Emily Hahn

By Kate Milsom

Oil & Collage on Gesso Board

h: 44 w: 54 d: 3 (cms).

Emily Hahn 1905 – 1997: was an American journalist and author. Considered an early feminist and called "a forgotten American literary treasure" by The New Yorker magazine, she was the author of 54 books and more than 200 articles and short stories. Her novels in the 20th century played a significant role in opening up Asia and Africa to the west. Her extensive travels throughout her life and her love of animals influenced much of her writing. After living in Florence and London in the mid-1920s, she traveled to the Belgian Congo and hiked across Central Africa in the 1930s. In 1935 she traveled to Shanghai, where she taught English for three years and became involved with prominent figures, such as The Soong Sisters and the Chinese poet, Zau Sinmay.

In 1924, prior to graduating from mining engineering school, she traveled 2,400 miles across the United States in a Model T-Ford dressed as a man with her friend, Dorothy Raper. During her drive across New Mexico, she wrote about her travel experiences to her brother-in-law, who, unbeknownst to her, forwarded the letters she wrote to The New Yorker. This jump-started her early career as a writer. Hahn wrote for The New Yorker from 1929 to 1996.

Behind the Clown Paint

By Catherine MacDiarmid

oil on linen

h: 34 w: 29 d: 5 (cms).

Behind the Paint is a theme that I began in 2014 and focuses on the masks and disguises people have, as either pseudo or assumed barriers. The theme developed from my sideline business of face painting, which evolved from a love of face painting my own children. Having two boys with Autism Spectrum Condition I discovered that they found disguises a helpful tool which displaced themselves from the world around. They always enjoy dressing up and these other personas fascinate me. I was keen to see how much of the original character remains when protected by a guise, and whether I could still paint that person behind the paint.

Hele Bay

By Bella Bee

ceramic, wood, steel,

h: 42 w: 22 d: 17 (cms).

Hele Bay is on a section of the rugged North Devon coastline.  This ceramic sculpture describes the drama of the angled rocks circling a shingle beach once the tide has left.  Interesting shapes left by receding waters are shown with cermic pencil, the sea itself twice fired with dark green and then white engobe to highlight the broken nature of the water.  Clay relief further describes the angular nature of the land, picked out in ceramic pencil for shadow. 

This piece is mounted on a rough piece of oak and secured with rusted steel rods, recpecting the wild nature of the coastline, untamed and always moving.

Without the base, measurements are 23X21.5X2 cms, 0.580 KG

Occluded (triptych)

By Helen Merrigan Colfer

Steel, resin, granite, enamel

h: 47 w: 41 d: 14 (cms).

This triptych comprises of Schrodinger’s Child, Disconnected & Edited it points to the fragility of identity within childhood, the effects of external influences & how these continue to inform us as adults.  These pieces give physical form to the internal mental landscape constructed during difficult childhood years.  Difficult experiences create an internal typography where thought patterns & behaviour are ingrained becoming normalized while simultaneously causing us to feel separated from others who do not navigate the same internal terrain.

These figures incorporate structures and motifs that interact to form narratives which develop as the spectator interacts with the work.         

Multiple pieces are placed together to interact by sharing the same space, creating a dialogue between them & the spectator as individual narratives add & subtract from each other.  Hard architectural constructs are meshed with anatomically correct forms to suggest internal dialogues & states of being.

I was contacted by Holly (Amanda’s daughter) via #portraitsfornhsheroes, an Instagram site which was set up by the artist Tom Croft. Holly asked me to make a portrait of her mum as a surprise. I made a few versions of the portrait and it is possibly the only portrait I will ever do of someone wearing a mask and a helmet! It is really a portrait of a pair of eyes – the eyes needed to express as much as possible about the whole person. It was a tall order and a unique challenge.

I became more aware of the composition, and how I could use colour to complement it.

Slant II

By christine wylie

Photogravure

h: 39 w: 34 d: 1 (cms).

Christine Wylie’s art practice demonstrates systematic ways of working with mediums that explore line, form and space.  

In printmaking, installation and photography, the artist uses light and shade to produce works based on geometric constructs. The compositional potential of lines and planes and the apparent absence of colour, combine to create images that suggest presence and absence, space and non-space. It is work that can be characterized as being reductive and highly formal.

Wylie’s recent series of prints, Slant, is part of a body of work that was comissioned by Edinburgh Printmakers for their 50th Anniversary in 2017, and is part of a series of 5 images.

The artist graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA (Hons) in Drawing and Painting, and an MFA (Distinction) in Art Space and Nature. She has participated in residencies from Slovenia to Chicago, initiated a collective artwork publication and works extensively with academic institutions and artists’ societies. She is a professional member of The Royal Scottish Academy, The Society of Scottish Artists and Visual Art Scotland. She is reprented by several galleries throughout the UK, America and New Zealand

Wylie has exhibited both in the UK and internationally, most recently at The Royal Scottish Academy’s Annual Exhibition and the Broadway Arts Festival (both online, unfortunately), and is currently showing in Edinburgh Printmakers permanent collection.

Note: I only have the image itself scanned which measures approx 19cm x 19cm. The actual size of the work is 39cm high x 34cm wide.

Traces of a City

By Louise Hardy

Oil Paint on Paper

h: 60 w: 84 d: 1 (cms).

Louise Hardy’s fascination with the River Thames and London’s emerging skyline has been a constant theme in her paintings. Previously made in situ, she now uses as a starting point found aerial imagery of cities cleaved in two by the meanders of great rivers. This semi-abstract work is filled with a jumble of architectural topography and unsettlingly, emptied of people.

This tilted, vertiginous perspective invites the viewer to soar above but at the same time, be mesmerizingly drawn in. Hardy’s meticulous process of translucent layering speaks of her love of paint and a physicality that leaves a history of mark-making and experiment. The work is intended to be uplifting and evocative, its colours saturated and luminous but whose transient atmosphere threatens, as if a storm might be just about to break on the horizon.

This portrait is the figurative version of the woman before the assault.
I tried to depict the lady as a phantasmagoric picture, which recalls an image from the past. The sharp contrasts of light and shadow function to achieve a very pictorial and dramatic sense to manifest the anguished routine she lives in. 
In the resulting series, I use the acid as an agent to create an image of the victim. With this project, I aim to raise awareness of this specific form of violence against women that has extended throughout the world.

Bareback Warrior

By Arabella Brooke

bronze

h: 29 w: 7 d: 12 (cms).

These little horsemen sprang from a series of drawings I did over Lockdown.  Warriors, cut from the same stuff as Don Quixote, mostly riding over massive, imaginary landscapes in front of massive empty skies.  The pictures sometimes depict villages or homes, but the Warrior is always outside these spaces, an outsider. The lonely figures say something about how vital my imagination was in coping with a situation where I was physically constrained, since my sanity seemed to depend on being able to escape into these dreamworlds.  But the Warrior is also a response to a persistant feeling that we are all being called to respond radically in the face of environmental catastrophe.  I made them from papier mache, and they are made to be small, almost to fit into your pocket, or the palm of your hand, like a talisman.

focus shift

By Arabella Brooke

This is a Mother and Child piece that I finished after the birth of my son.  I enjoy this piece because it captures the unimaginable intimacy between a parent and a baby, the connection right up there at the top of the sculpture, where the baby's hand explores the mother's face.  

But the piece is also quite fierce and angular, with a strong twist upwards and back over the hip.  The relationship is intense and entire and causes the mother's whole focus to shift from the outside world to the baby in her arms.  I find myself wondering what will happen when her focus shifts again, back to the world around her.

This piece depicts one of the Bakerloo line platforms at Waterloo station - showing the distinctive piano-key tiling and dramatic sweep of the curved tunnel. This is the busiest Tube station in London, but in this fleeting moment the platform is almost deserted.

As a former Tube commuter myself, I know that - packed full of busy travellers every day - the Underground can very easily be taken for granted. By choosing unusual angles and perspectives of near-deserted stations, my aim in this series of artworks is to help the viewer to rediscover and better appreciate these incredible subterranean man-made structures.

Transmission Vision / Last Sun

By Kristina Butigan

Oil on canvas

h: 120 w: 160 (cms).

"our children can be our greatest teachers, if we are humble enough to receive their lessons" 

My artwork is an attempt to bring to life a fascination with the beauty of classical painting and mythology; as well as an interest in the aesthetics of contemporary documentation photography. Artistic choices relate to produce a crescendo of imagery on canvas; where fantastical scenes develop to explore society’s notions of people, place and identity.

The 'Transmission Vision' series accumulates in 'Last Sun' painted during the tumultuous lockdown of 2020. The piece presents collaged moments in an instant; conceived of the overwhelming, relentless, sprawling construction of imagery and alerts that the mass media presents to us. However the work should remain ambiguous in its nature, enticing the viewer to question their own perception of what has bought about this reality.

Gemini Sublimation (Diptych)

By Arina Gordienko

Oil on Belgian linen

h: 70 w: 100 d: 2 (cms).

The noun sublimation is from the Latin word sublimare, meaning ‘to raise a higher status’; we can transform/sublimate our often contradictive, unpredictable and even self-destructive inner impulses into something productive and sublime like art works and become a higher self - creative and free. I try to visually express a quintessence of humans’ emotions and feelings, often on a border of their perception capacity.

For this portrait I chose the diptych format that helps to express the duality of Gemini with figures engaged in isolation on the black background that appeal to pain and desperation. The red string with hook serves the narrative adding the nerve and painful tension to composition and focusing on inseparable essence of the characters. The important connecting element of the diptych is warmer colour palette softly wrapping the figures with hope and consolation solution.
