7 ARTISTS TO WATCH:
This December we present Bryan Lavelle, Matthew Spencer, Dan Pearce, Jin Eui Kim, Mark Beattie and new recruits Sarolta Ban and Tonya Acaster.
Bryan Lavelle is an artist steeped in the experimentation of form, investigating the properties that exist within mediums, and the outside influences on them. And it is form, not narrative, that carries Lavelle’s process to his resulting polychromatic statement pieces which are as beautifully finished as they are timeless.
His latest series of works explores the act of painting and the reciporcity of his medium, by pouring alternate colours of paint onto MDF panels, until such time as the volume of paint becomes so great, that the surface tension can no longer hold it in place. At this moment a tipping point is reached and the paint begins to ebb and flow off of the support, skewing and distorting the work into a chaotic abstraction. Bryan's works start at an affordable price of £495.00.
Tipping Point (Light Blue Permanent / Ivory Black) #1 45 x 45 x 2 cm £495.00, Untitled #7 (Red / Dark Red) 61 x 61 x 2 cm £895.00, Tipping Point (Brilliant Purple / Cadmium Yellow Deep Hue) #2 45 x 45 x 2 cm £495.00
The fantastical manipulated digital images of Hungarian artist Sarolta Bán, invoke in the viewer the youthful desire to personify the world and it’s players. Her visions of parallel realities are playfully epic, amusing and full of nostalgic romanticism. Her charming limited edition works of 20 start at £164.00
Mountain Bear Large Size 100 x 100 cm £339.00, Take Flight 45 x 45 cm £164.00, Musical Chairs 100 x 100 cm £339.00
Matthew Spencer is a multi-media artist whose unique creations present a cynical perspective of the utopian notions presented to us through modern media outlets. His works feature the mundane elements of human societies adrift and abandoned in natural environments and are painstakingly hand-carved from single sheets of MDF. The MDF, household paint and painstakingly slow hand cutting process that he uses gives the work a raw abandoned aesthetic, creating scenes which depict gritty disenchanted visions of man-made structures and waste in woods and forests. Our Signature Art Prize Winner has received critical acclaim for his works and been selected for notable awards including; UK/raine: Emerging Artists from the UK and Ukraine at Saatchi Gallery 2015, Art Habens annual 2015, The Signature Art Prize 2012, the NEO Studio Prize 2012, the Southwood NOAC Award for best UK artist under 25 201, New Lights Art Prize 2013.

Tonya’s art celebrates the evocative world of the vintage toy. In her work she re-imagines and celebrates our most poignant and precious childhood memories. It is both comforting and haunting, joyous and bittersweet - propelling us back to happy times...to those indelible moments where as children we projected our emotions onto our toys and imagined that they reflected back love, protection, acceptance and understanding. Sometimes, it was simply just their extreme coolness that made us love them!
Tonya has exhibited her work at The Royal Academy of Arts and had joint and solo exhibitions throughout London, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. Collectors of her work live in London, Los Angeles and Miami.

Mark Beattie is a London-based metallurgical sculptor whose practice challenges the relationships between strength and rigidity, and the fluidity of natural structure. Combining a variety of finishes and organic form, his imposing and impressive works dance and orbit the space around and within them, often emphasised by the juxtaposition of a neon core. Notable awards include, winner of the Xerxes Sculpture Prize 2015 presented at Serpentine Gallery & Midlands Open 2015.
