cyanotypes i marbling

Carla Pengilly l Map 15
Working with nature in three locations has given me inspiration for making art. My garden, Swanage beach and the River Thames. I make Cyanotypes which are camera less photographic prints based on a variety of plant life including seaweed.This process was developed by John Herschel in 1842. The paper is coated with a light sensitive iron solution and then exposed to light. Once develop this results in lovely cyan and white images.

Along side using one of the original photographic processes I am creating series of imaginative digital photographic landscapes. The images are captured from wildlife found on the waterline of boats in the River Thames.

To add to the creative possibilities I use traditional marbling methods. For more information contact Brockley Open Studios

Paintings

Britta Pohl l Map 31
I’m a figurative artist and much of my work explores urban and street scenes, with figures beginning to make their way into the compositions. I enjoy creating paintings, often in liminal spaces, which have a dreamlike quality, where reality blends with imagination. I try to evoke an atmosphere that feels both familiar and slightly strange or otherworldly. I enjoy playing with light and shadow and the emotion of colour. I find it fascinating how light can transform a scene, evoking different feelings or shadows draw your eye elsewhere.

My preferred medium is oil on board or canvas, but I also paint on different surfaces such as found pieces of wood in varying sizes.

The Echo Chamber Is an evolving installation and assemblage of objects, relics, and made artworks. Natural found objects, manmade found objects and hand built ceramics are curated and arranged in harmony with one another. The current outcome is a museum like space where pieces can be viewed as a whole or individually.

Amelia Power l Map 26
My work starts with observation but memory and imagination form a crucial part of my process. I draw out the drama of the everyday aiming to make the familiar strange.

Plants almost always appear in my work: commonplace plant-life - weeds, supermarket bouquets and familiar pot plants appear alongside gardens, parks and landscapes.

I push the drama of my observed work to make invented scenarios which explore the ideas around around the uncanny. I continue to produce observational drawings and paintings, making studies from my surroundings which I develop imaginatively in the studio.

Past exhibitions have included The Lynn Painter Stainers Prize, The Discerning Eye, The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and The Ruth Borchard Prize.

I teach drawing and painting at The King’s Foundation Diploma Year.

Paintings

Ellen Camilla Rose l Map 24
Ellen is a multidisciplinary artist, specialising in drawing and painting. Their work explores themes surrounding intimacy, connection and community in the domestic sphere. Their work is predominantly figurative and representational but expands into abstraction. They favour oil paint as a medium to manipulate over time and often apply many glazes of colour to create depth and atmosphere. For drawings and studies they favour ballpoint pen, watercolour pencils and watercolour paint.

My work invites viewers into intimate, domestic scenes. Hyper-saturated palettes create dream-like atmospheres, translucent layers result in otherworldly luminosity and moments of slippage untether us from reality as the painterly world expands beyond the familiar. I am searching for beauty and meaning within the familiar and the everyday, exploring the subtle gestures of intimacy between people and moments alone with ourselves. I want to capture the moments that shape us, that we gather to build identity and a sense of belonging.

Andrew Sleightholme l Map 8
Andrew is a Brockley-based photographer and musician. He grew up in the North-East of England on the border of County Durham and North Yorkshire, and was drawn from an early age towards the dark and powerful landscapes of the Pennines and the North Sea coast, experiences which have informed his creative practice and love of wild places and the metaphors distilled within them. Andrew went on to read music at Oxford University, and has exhibited photographic work in solo shows in both London and Whitstable.

Mimi Soan l Map 11
Her drawings often of a girl character with an animal companion have a distinctive illustrative style rendered on manila envelopes.

She has an inherent love of animals that inspire the creation of a range of soft, characterful creatures. Using up-cycled materials such as shrunken jumpers, blankets and other woollen articles. She enjoys including small details like the cuff, buttonholes or neckline, that give clues to the materials previous life.
