Brian Fletcher
‘I look at nature and make my own song about it.’ This
statement by Ivon Hitchens epitomises my approach to drawing and painting and
is becoming stronger the longer I work. The allure of the subject decreases as I am working and I am increasingly
interested in the variety of mark making and the development of the accidental
and surprising effects produced by various media. Rural, mountain, industrial landscape, the human form and portraiture subjects
are starting points and providing basic compositional structures from which to
explore the potential of the media being used. I enjoy working in charcoal, graphite, oils and water based media'

Mike Skidmore
Trained as a graphic
artist, Mike is a predominantly a landscape painter who favours an abstract or
semi abstract approach to his native Staffordshire countryside.
Working in acrylic, he takes inspiration from the vivid colours
and textures in nature. He seeks out interesting rock formations and landscape
anomalies, experimenting with texture and form to create multi layered
paintings on wood panels and paper.
Constantly experimenting, his process includes extensive
photographic studies and sketches.
