Corinne Natel

Corinne Natel is a contemporary artist specialising in abstract mixed media paintings. Corinne is based in North West London and is inspired by landscapes, nature, cities, travel, fashion and media. Her work investigates colour, form, space and texture.

Working with a variety of mixed media, a blank canvas takes on a new form and begins to develop a life of it’s own. A new entity, aiming to create vibrant and emotive works that allude to another world.

Corinne Natel has sold works in the UK and internationally, for homes, offices, hotels, restaurants and cruise ships. She has exhibited in solo and group shows at contemporary galleries and at renowned London Hotels and leading Art Fairs.

Carl Rowe

Carl Rowe studied Fine Art at Manchester Polytechnic, graduating with an MA in 1985. He currently lives in Norwich and is a former Associate Professor and Course Leader in Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts. He is an artist member and studio holder at OUTPOST in Norwich and is also a member of the Printmakers Council. Carl Rowe has an international profile as both an artist and an academic. His work has been exhibited widely in the UK as well as in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Canada, US, Estonia, Japan, Malaysia and Egypt. In addition to studio production he has also worked on public art including billboards, print portfolios and hospital art. In 2018 Rowe was commissioned by Hospital Rooms to make work for Woodlands Mental Health Unit at Ipswich Hospital and is currently engaged in a new project with Hospital Rooms.

“My art switches back and forth between an engagement with socio-political issues and subconscious renderings.

I can’t escape my concern for the wrongdoing in the world and within my art a surface layer of humour, absurdity and the arcane masks a strong undercurrent of concern for humanity. When I ease off the direct engagement with current affairs, symbols, objects and graphic devices float up from somewhere in my memory and arrange themselves in unlikely compositions.”

Carl Rowe works with both paint, sculpture and print process. The materials that I use are often intrinsically connected with the images they portray such as the work Drool, an installation made with ink containing herbs and spices from the G20 countries and the Serbian paprika used in Deprecated Location, a screen print depicting Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Recent paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints present an obsession with clay pipe fragments, hazard warnings, cylindrical containers and clouds of particulates.

Marina Emphietzi

Marina Emphietzi now lives in London and her work explores issues of time, life and memory.

She creates engaging artworks in a distinct semi abstract style inspired mostly by water and the marine environment.

With the sound of crashing sea waves and the hot feeling of sand under bare feet, Marina’s story starts in Famagusta, Cyprus. Her family’s childhood home built along the scenic coastline, she spent most of her days by the beach. It’s here that she came to know the limitless freedom of the Ocean. Surrounded by the vivid landscapes of Cyprus, art came naturally to Marina. Her heart’s desire was to study art, although she would pursue a successful career in hotel management and marketing before finally achieving her life-long dream. She has studied at the prestigious schools of Central St-Martins and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMASS).

At the age of 14, Marina Emphietzi lost her home in the trauma of war. The ocean and its waters, full of life and possibility, are a part of her most joyful memories. They are from which she draws inspiration from in her work and why her pieces have the power to evoke strong feelings of nostalgia and freedom. A world traveller, Marina has called many places home. The man-made beaches of Dubai, the crowded markets of Ethiopia, and now, the grey skies of London, U.K., each brings their own colour palette to Marina’s current work. Created with robust energy, her paintings have playful textures and a distinct style. They bring to surface lost memories of being near water, the sound of rumbling waves, the feeling of a warm breeze across skin. A metaphor of the transient human experience, her artwork suggests we flow through the journey through life, ever-changing and free.

Neale Marriott

Neale Marriott’s work explores our relationship with the places around us, whether the fleeting joy of the natural landscape or the complexity and enclosure of urban spaces. I see my artworks as constituting a journey in different ways. First, I want them to have an energy and sense of movement within themselves in order to replicate our interaction with the world. They also explore a journey from figuration to a more dynamic abstraction. Finally, in my sculptural work particularly, they are a reflection on a more generic human journey with references to history, progress, science and geography.

I have always been interested in exploring different materials on which to paint including metal, concrete, glass & Perspex.

In using these materials, I’ve always sought to blur the boundaries between the illusory nature of paint and the physical properties of materials.

Neale Marriott’s paintings and painted construction pieces on layers of acrylic Perspex and concrete try to take painting into new spatial and sculptural areas by creating an experience that subtly shifts and changes as the viewer moves around them. The aim is to create more interactive spatial artworks that better represent our experience and explore different contexts and narratives.

Gina Parr

Gina Parr is a Painter who also “paints with a camera” when traveling.

The image of the sea and the Artist’s thoughts about memory and identity are ever present in her work. Her childhood, spent diversely in wide-open spaces, fishing for Mackerel with her father, and her mother with her hoarding and mental health issues defined the Artist’s relationship to the sea and land, the uncertainty of the deep, the spirit and memory of the open space, evoking freedom and connectedness. She does not wish to recreate those experienced places, but to unearth the truth, to centralise the feelings and emotions that were and are present, to not be afraid of the material of her past. The Artist’s work is an expression of the intermingling of both joy and pain: the human condition.

Gina Parr was originally trained as a Fine Artist, graduating with a First Class BA Honours Degree.

She went on to Chelsea College of Art to study set design, leading to a 25 year career Production Designing many prestigious shows for television.

She returned to her Artist’s practice in 2007.

She has also lectured in art and design at Chelsea College of Art and Nottingham University, is widely exhibited in galleries and art fairs in the UK and Europe. She is an Associate member of The Society of Women Artists in London and has works held in collections Worldwide including; Keble College Oxford, Director Jestico + Whiles Architects London, President Boston’s Children’s Museum USA, Senior Economist Goldman Sachs, Argentex and Vedanta Headquarters in London, and Commissions in UAE, Belguim + London.

Liesha Yaz

Liesha Yaz paintings are an emotional response to a feeling, experience or place, I see the work as the atmosphere and sense of place made physical; marks are not made to describe but to elicit and emote, to forge a connection.

The studio is filled with music, I meditate and read poetry in an attempt to find the state of mind and the creative space within where my painting can flow. Liesha Yaz is driven by intuition, each painting an unplanned journey, a celebration of the physicality of paint and surface.

The surface of these oil paintings are untamed, highly worked and layered, difficult to look away from, I use oils and mixed media to create texture and form in my paintings.

Emotional creativity is the heart and soul of my paintings these images are totally unique in every sense.
My work is widely collected by both national and international private and corporate clients.

Bob Aldous

Bob Aldous is primarily an abstract painter using wide range of media that are applied to silk that has been treated and sized, so that thicker impasto can work alongside delicate watercolour glazes.

He works in a way by which each mark interacts and inform the next brush stroke he is about to make. Using a wide range of brushes, broad marks are made with decorator’s brushes or large Chinese brushes and finer mark making are made with fine sable brushes or pencil. Central to my mark making is an aspiration for spontaneity. This spontaneous quality is sometimes hard to achieve, silk is an unforgiving surface in which each mark needs to be placed confidently. “After meditating on a work for some time I use my “minds eye” to contemplate where the next mark is to be placed, I will then work rapidly and instinctively.”

The paintings are inspired by water in all its forms: this may be a mountain stream, a calm lake reflecting the sky or a tumultuous sea tempest. Silk is an ideal surface as a substrate to my painting technique as it has a fine translucent surface, which is ideal for recreating the transparent quality of water. Throughout his career Bob Aldous has sketched water and been fascinated by trying to capture its movement and vitality. These sketches have been absorbed into his painting vocabulary and he now paint from memory. This gives the work a quality that “crosses the boundary between reality and dreams”.

Andrew Bylo

Andrew Bylo is an artist and illustrator with 38 years’ experience in the worlds of Advertising, Design & Editorial: 2019 finds him working mostly for a major client in Japan via Far East agent Cross World Connections based in Tokyo. He will shortly be starting on the 2020 collection.

Andrew’s core skill is working from life, swiftly and accurately in media from pencil/pencil crayon to gouache or acrylic. Stylistically, his work ranges from economical line drawing to full atmospheric colour. Spontaneity is the hallmark of his work.

During a rich & varied professional career, he’s had afternoon tea with Ian Dury at The Waldorf Astoria as part of a book project for Faber & Faber on emerging creatives, and been sent to Patrick Moore’s house to draw his portrait from life on behalf of Mitchell Beazley, only to be told by the celebrated astronomer that the drawing was ‘a grotesque caricature’. The publishers had warned Andrew it might not go well…

Drawing and painting people from life is his real love, and he was appointed in October 2017 as ‘portrait-painter-in-residence’ for London-based agency ‘krow’ and has painted all 54 of krow’s team. Malcolm White, chief strategy officer and founder of krow, said: “Andrew Bylo’s genius is in working quickly to seize a recognisable impression of an individual. We commissioned him to celebrate the role our people play in the success of the agency, and to make our office walls far more personal.”

Andrew Bylo is an avid keeper of sketchbooks, dating back to the 1970s, about 130 or so at the last count, and in his spare time, curiously enough, he rather likes to draw and paint.
