Curry Lover Lover

Curry Lover Lover required art to help improve the ambience of their restaurant – The Tamarind in Potters Bar. They had recently refurbished the restaurant and needed art to further enhance the ambience.

Art Contact sourced and selected the art which the client decided to rent rather than buy as it helped their cash flow following the refurbishment.

A large mirror was also included to bring more light into an otherwise slightly dark area in the restaurant.

The artworks were framed very simply in polished wooden frames and installed out of hours at the request of the client.

Max Mortiboys

Max Mortiboys paintings are as much about the denial of gesture as being a celebration of gesture. His work involves drawing, painting and scanning practices, with the idea of extracting and magnifying constantly.

His large scale paintings arise from an instinctive, almost chaotic process. This involves pulling apart and reassembling visual and material components.

The thick and unforgiving house gloss paint he uses, corresponds directly with the heavily primed white canvas, elevating every mark.

Hidden in the clean finished aesthetic of the paintings, a few tricks and games subtly occur. Be it the sudden ruptures in movement or variations in line and colour.

For his latest body of work, he uses a limited and bold colour palette on large scale canvas, translating the essence of his textural inspiration in a stripped back style into his own gestural language.

Max Mortiboys graduated from Chelsea College of Arts in 2018.

David Dodsworth

David Dodsworth is a well established artist. The most common question he is asked is; “what kind of thing do you do”? The answer is always a different, generally reflecting the most recent works that he has been involved with.

In previous work he has looked closely at the imagery of prehistory, and calligraphy in many different language systems, using paint and print.

A commission for a series of glass bowls and sculptures being made in Los Angeles took his work in a totally new direction.

David Dodsworth has a wide range of interests and many of the pieces are derived from nature, architecture, and geometric composition. However, some things; his love of music, and its resonance for instance, is best expressed abstractly.

His approach is best described as eclectic (n) one who uses a method or approach that is composed of elements drawn from various sources or (in art) selecting what seems best from various styles, doctrines, ideas, methods, etc.

At the moment he is looking at the way that technology and digitisation can be used to obscure, reveal, or degenerate a figurative image, combined with layers of consciousness.

Susan Andreae

Susan Andreae is a sculptor and printmaker based in London.

Having grown up in London, she is fascinated by the complexity of living in the city – the crowds, commuters, architecture and energy of urban life.

She also travels frequently to Southern Italy and is inspired by the simplicity of the ancient architecture and colours of the Mediterranean.

Ideas evolve for Susan Andreae from things she sees and experiences and always from drawings made in situ, which start the creative process. She then experiments with techniques of layering using multiple images superimposed to arrive at a final image, eluding to the passing of time and historical change.

Julia Brooker

Julia Brooker paints on aluminium because she was seduced by the way it reflects light off its metal surface through veils of transparent colour. She revels in the sumptuousness of paint as it sits on the cool surface and is driven in the attempt to make beautiful paintings.

Some of her paintings have the instant appeal of vivid jewel like colours. Others are more subtle and layer veils of sepia, black, white and grey. Increasingly she combines drawing with painting to make multi layered paintings.

‘When the viewer gets close I hope they will enjoy the tiny accidental droplets that fall, the ‘hand-made-ness’ of the paintings. Closeness should offer up more, a desire to touch the surface, a stillness.’

Julia Brooker studied ceramics before she became a painter. Those luscious crystalline glazed surfaces like cake icing on coarse clay, and her love of gorgeous textiles are both reflected in the surface qualities of her paintings. She finds ways to weave layers of paint and textures together. Julia is always pleased by the way people want to touch her paintings to see how they feel.

Irma Irsara

Irma Irsara has a special interest in ecology, conservation and climate change. These have always guided her creative practice. She was brought up in the foothills of Monte Croce in the Italian Dolomites. Where her paternal grandfather managed significant areas of woodland in Fanes National Park. This has always influenced he artwork.

Irma studied at the Scuola d’Arte di Ortisei & Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino, both in Italy, and St Martins School of Art. She also studied Country Care and Conservation at Capel Manor Horticultural College to develop her knowledge of Conservation.

Her work encompasses a broad range of media and techniques: installations, video, bookworks,

photography, prints and the pulp/cotton fibre works which represent a large part of her output.

Her fibre art ‘pulp‘ work uses organic material and storm debris such as fallen bark. This is combined with pure cotton to create lyrical reflections of changes in natural forms. For example, her series ‘Watermarks’ explored rising water levels as evidenced in the lines on canal walls.

Irma Irsara has shifted her focus to invisible nature, micro pollution and micro fibre plastics. Through the use of micro-photography, film and time lapse she has created a new range of artworks.

Alberto Fusco

Alberto Fusco creates wall panels made up with folded and manipulated paper. The intricately folded paper is transformed into textural geometrical forms becoming sculptural pieces in their own right.

In recent years his work has developed and is widely exhibited and is included in several corporate collections.

His work is often displayed behind a perspex cover to protect the artwork from damage and the ingress of dust. This also gives the artwork a jewel like property.

Alberto Fusco now concentrates on site specific commissions for both corporate and private collections.
