Anders Scrmn Meisner I

 

There is an unsettling heat in the works of Anders Scrmn Meisner they are hot and the repeat busy pattern adds to the discomfort and yet they are powerful, fascinating works.

Rosemary Burn

 

Rosemary Burn is a traditional fine artist whose intention is to make you look at daily visual occurrences with more than a cursory glance and to enjoy the colours, textures and wonder of life.  

"Part of my intention is to make unusual the usual; the  everyday visual experiences which we all encounter and mostly dismiss as unimportant, not worth a second glance. The works are crafted from moments; those snippets of time and from which I can find a story in the background, such as a dripping bath tap and the light carried in the ripples, a fly on the wall, the fleeting expression on a face, a nameless place. It seems to me that these happenings underpin our existence; big events, highs and lows, come and go but the insignificant and fleeting remain and repeat, like a constant hum in the background." Rosemary Burn

Narumi Sasaki

 

Narumi Sasaki combines abstract paint compositions with fused glass and ceramic elements to create minature environments.

Glyn Warren Philpot II

As well as his amazing portraits I adore the way that Glyn Warren Philpot captured fabric in his oil paintings.

Dale Bissland

 

Paintings by Dale Bissland of Fife Scotland. 

Sven Svendsen

 

Here I am in March, as spring is springing perversely remembering the depths of dark winter that was so recently shrinking our world. These paintings by Sven Svendsen (1864-1945) capture perfectly that darkness and the puddles of light that are like stepping stones and contain our worlds in these winter months. 

Brian Hagger

 

In the midst of last week I found the paintings of Brian Hagger (1935-2006) who painted an intimate, unflinching portrait of urban life in England in the 1960's and 70's, the normal every day scenes so rarely captured. I love the thickly applied paint similar to that gluing the actual buildings depicted together and his drawings are just wonderful in their faithful observation, line and weight. Many of Brian Hagger's  paintings are places that I know and have known and that makes them feel like lost friends.
