Their resulting works abound with multiple meanings and a rich visual complexity. Kim Baker distils her subject matter through a series of sensory interpretations of colour and lyrical form. Her paintings expand this beyond an initial formal approach to gestural expressive brushwork, into an intense grappled world of floral painterly complexity. Louisa Chambers' paintings seem to present an alternative universe where authoritarian structures of technology/science fiction are hijacked by absurd anthropomorphic embellishment. A feature about Chambers' work by Ruth Solomons is featured in Garageland 13: Paint. Ben Walker narrows his source material to convey an emotional response through painterly expression, erasing all but the most profound and essential details. Lisa McKendrick fills her paintings with quixotic imagery, which wilfully resists the laws of physics and eludes a readable narrative....

The works in this exhibition are a cross section of all the experimentation Ruth undertook during this Arts Council funded project. Industrial resins are poured, mixed and scooped to become painting materials, conveying the image as well as describing the 3D form and tactile qualities of the figures represented. The exhibition shows a range of the results achieved with various different products (e.g. resin glues more commonly used to stick spoilers onto cars and resins designed for use fixing buoys at sea and North Sea oil rigs)....

Six artists reposition themselves to establish a pathway forward for abstraction, modernism and the concept of a future. In an age of austerity where the promises of tomorrow are constantly eroded, this exhibition is an attempt to counter this through a forward looking form of painting, collage and making. The title Jam Tomorrow has multiple meanings and refers to the possibilities of the artworks’ development as well the artists’ personal progression.   Exhibiting together for the first time, the artists show new and recent paintings, collages, mixed media work and sculptures. Organised and curated by the participating artists, linking strands are visible within and between their practice; utopian ideals, modernist discourse, nostalgia, memory and the passing of time, architectural construction, abstraction, minimalism and painstaking craft. In Jam Tomorrow the six artists make a valuable and relevant contribution to the revisiting and reinventing of, and the dialogue about, the languages of abstraction and modernism....

Many of these monuments are often overlooked by this city’s residents as they go about their daily business. At a moment when discussions about climate change are omnipresent, the visual images associated with this issue tend to show vulnerable landscapes from around the world, but the situation for cultural landmarks at the heart of our metropolis is equally precarious. Plunge encircles noteworthy monuments in London with an illuminated blue line, showing the predicated sea level in 3111. At one level the viewer can extend an imaginary line from the monument across London placing themselves deep below the water’s surface, at another level the illumination suggests a protective shell proposing that we still have chance to change this situation....
