Vanessa Brassey

Vanessa Brassey

Inks and Oil paints on various surfaces (paper, metal, wood)
Vanessa is a figurative painter motivated by the exploration of emotions, memory, and dreams. She is inspired by the transcendence many experience when 'wild' swimming - in ponds, lakes, and the sea. She documents these moments of euphoria felt from immersing in cool and fresh waters. Her work has been described as ‘joyful’ and pushing a ‘mischievous and irreverent use of colour’ to heighten the mood. Her painting blends direct observation with photographic evidence and a bright palette to convey the quicksilver of our lives. She seeks to capture a range of transient feelings that momentarily pass over us during our day. She has exhibited several times in London, including most recently at the Mall Galleries near Buckingham Palace and the Affordable Art Fairs.

Sophie Coe

Charcoal, oil paint, printmaking and mixed media
I live in London but mostly find my inspiration from trips elsewhere - the lake district, mountains, the sea... I try to recreate the mood, the wonder, the feeling of being there, the elements perhaps less visible with a passing glance. Sometimes I work collaboratively to create artwork commissions for commercial spaces on a bigger scale, mostly though I work alone with my own creative enquiries: How to express the rain? Or the wind as it blows sand along a sea drenched beach… as it makes botanical shadows dance on a wall? How to express the movement of a wave or the still timeless eternity of a mountain? I work with charcoal, paint, and various printmaking techniques to create images mostly inspired by nature. The freedom in my mark making gives immediacy and energy to my work, which itself exudes the simple calmness and beauty of the environments that inspire it. Having a background in architecture gives me an in-depth understanding of buildings, interiors, client/designer relationships and collaborative design. Commissioned pieces have ranged in scale from 60cm to 6.5m wide. My work sells worldwide for both private collections and commercial interiors. Recent exhibitions 2024 Works on Paper.

Tessa Paul

Tessa Paul

Mixed media: acrylics, spray paints, gesso, inks, charcoals, pastels
I am a self-taught London-based Anglo-French artist, seeking to raise awareness about the beauty of our world with bold and colourful abstract artworks. My favourite themes have always been the fauna and flora of our planet, as well as the complexity of human emotions, which has been an increasingly present topic in my portfolio. I additionally explore various colour palettes specifically designed to create visually peaceful pieces, and sooth the mind of my audience. My work has so far been exhibited in both London and Paris and is featured on SINGULART, ArtFinder and more. Some of my pieces can currently be viewed at the Century Soho Members Club in London as well as TV Chef Paul Merrett's restaurant in Wimbledon. My work has additionally been featured in TATLER Magazine's September 2022 Issue of Decor Decorum as well as the October & November 2022 Issues.

Marie Lenclos

Marie Lenclos

Oil paint
I am a French artist living and working in London since 1995. My strong figurative urban landscapes focus on the lines, light and colour of familiar streets near where I live and work, in Loughborough Junction, SE London. I studied Communications at Camberwell College of Art and the Royal College of Art. I first developed my personal view of the city by working as a freelance video maker for around 15 years. I got used to 'framing' things all the time, even without a camera. Walking around I would suddenly see something and think: 'this would make a good shot'. Since returning to oil painting 9 years ago, I see something and think: 'there is a painting in this'. I have gradually become a full time painter over the last few years. My work has been exhibited at many galleries and art fairs. I was very lucky to be in the RA Summer Exhibition in 2023, which was a very positive experience. I sell widely to collectors in the UK and worldwide.

Amelia Josephine Lovell

Amelia Josephine Lovell

Oil paint
I am a young contemporary painter specializing in oil paints. Having been born in London into a creative family, I was able to experience the artistic presence in the capital. I think I became more connected with the arts as my mother, sister and I suffered massive financial insecurities which cropped up when I was a young child and have persisted ever since. I was awarded a Scholarship that enabled me to study at Chelsea School of Art, University of the Arts London and explore my creative path. My primary practice involves figurative paintings while attempting to make homemade oil paints. My work looks at nature and society throughout history to the modern day; women and nature go back centuries, as does the prioritization of ‘masculine’ culture over ‘feminine’ nature. From my dissertation, 'Thinking about women’s rights through Masaccio’s ‘The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden’ (1426-1427)', the story of Adam and Eve was reflective of the social practices throughout time. Eve represented female humanity, and her act gave men the excuse to look down upon, condemn, and even discriminate against most women in their lives. My work circles around this idea and endeavors to try and change this view, which has seen too many women suffer even into the current. By reclaiming the image of my body and drawing parallels between its submissive form and the pliancy of mother nature, I aim to reassert the importance of ecofeminism and the role the female body plays in the perception of Earth’s value.

Lily Hargreaves

Lily Hargreaves

Oil on canvas
Lily Hargreaves paints scenes from an alternate timeline, her canvases inviting viewers out of their world and into one that parodies, probes, and pulls at the seams of contemporary institutions. By constructing a world of intense detail, Hargreaves exploits the omnipotence of the artist, mapping her characters’ reactions as they negotiate warps in seemingly fixed ideas like time and reality to discover new, unburdened modes of existence. Although contemporary in its concerns, her imagery is often historically inclined, playing with ideas of linearity and cyclicism as threads of past, present, and future entangle. This allows for an expanded and experimental approach to storytelling, with characters and places appearing and reappearing through different tangents of what could be a never-ending series. The project exists as a sort of Ergodic literature, individual compositions overlapping to produce dense tableaux wherein every element is imbued with symbolic importance. Hargreaves’ theatrical approach to the installation of her paintings prompts a viewer to play an active part, investigating the images for clues from which to build their own narrative and, in turn, meaning. Overall, she celebrates the transcendent freedom of the imagination not only as a momentary escape away from a 21st century in flux, but also as a place to manifest new realities.

Holly Brodie

Holly Brodie

Oil
Holly Brodie is a landscape painter based in suburban West London. She was brought up in rural Somerset and studied English at Oxford University (1998-2001) where she was encouraged to explore connections between literature and art, which continue to influence her practice. As an artist, she is self-taught. Working in oil and taking full advantage of its slow-drying properties, Holly makes it up as she goes along. The results can be unexpected, even surreal. Animals feature frequently and people occasionally. Narratives are suggested, but open to ongoing interpretation. Holly’s work has been exhibited at the Mall Galleries, the Royal Academy, Somerset House and the Royal West of England Academy. She won The Winsor & Newton Painting Award at the Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition 2014 and was invited to demonstrate at Art in Action in 2015.

Jade Connolly

Jade Connolly

Oil
Jade Connolly (b.1998) Blackburn. Currently living in London. Jade Connolly deals with the dynamics of interior space and is interested in the passages, rooms, and transitional spaces within the inhabited home. Her work investigates psychological spaces and explores the meanings behind different rooms and transitional spaces. Jade likes to experiment with her mark-making ranging from delicate shallow fields of intense colour to flat opaque gestural brushstrokes. Painted in a range of saturated and muted tones of mostly blue, green, and yellow, Jade’s latest series depicts rooms and passageways from her childhood home, reflecting the conflicting feelings of calmness and anxiety resulting from different lived experiences. In addition to her paintings, Jade has made quick painterly studies of interiors in both ink and watercolour, again focusing on the environment she knows best. The relationship between the artist and subject is vital and the role of the viewer has become central to Jade’s work, they become a witness, an observer. The lack of details invites the spectator to complete the image by speculating on past and impending events. She infuses her paintings of desolate interiors with a cinematic aspect and an appreciation of light and shade which contributes to a significant sense of isolation. Jade has long been fascinated with the work of the French Philosopher Gaston Bachelard and is inspired by painters such as Tim Eitel, Lois Dodd, Paul Winstanley, Vermeer, and Hammershøi.

Ania Perkowska

Ania Perkowska

Ceramics
Growing up as a child in communist Poland, Ania’s life was underpinned by stark grey concrete structures. This architecture was raw, substantial and woven into the history and fabric of her upbringing. Ania’s work draws from the rawness, seeking beauty in simplicity of the form, tactility of the texture. She explores how limitations can inspire and release creativity, the tension between surface and form, between the ordered and the organic. She uses geometric forms, minimalistic decoration and natural qualities of the materials.

Chio Fernandez

Chio Fernandez

Acrylic.
Chio Fernández is originally from Málaga, Spain but relocated to London in 2009. From an early age, she was a talented painter and this love of art later progressed also to photography. While studying Civil Engineering in Spain, she made the brave decision to leave her degree and follow her passion. She moved to London where she completed a BA in Photography and Film at the University of Roehampton, graduating in 2014 and becoming a full time freelance photographer. In 2020, after finding herself with plenty of time in her hands due to the several lockdowns and related working limitations, Chio revisited her passion for painting and her work has become very popular amongst art lovers. Other than attending some classes in her home town of San Pedro de Alcántara when she was 10, she is mainly self-taught. For the past year, she has been creating beautiful colourful abstract paintings of women that are becoming a reflection and celebration of womanhood, female beauty and the challenges we encounter in this world. In less than a year she has already booked her first gallery show in The Depot, London, and her work is showcased in multiple locations across Hertfordshire.

Sahara Poette

Sahara Poette

Acrylic and Watercolour
Sahara Poette started painting in 2015 with a friend around a table in a Spanish farmhouse. Encouraged by her friend, an artist, Sahara painted a few more pieces. After that she didn’t paint much again, then her father passed away and she started painting again. Her heritage is Jamaican - a Londoner and was privileged to have a father who was learned and world wise. The books on the shelf ranged from Marcus Garvey to Dubois, Sex and Race, War and Peace. “We listened to a lot of Black Classical Music-Jazz and art was all around. My mother was an artist, Father a musician amongst other things. My daughter paints as does my brother. I am the late comer.” Her influences and subject matters are centred around iconography and the figurative appeal of the female form. She creates abstract, layered and textured, applying lines, dots, patterns and colours. Sahara loves colour. “I will paint on anything from plates, to glass, whatever appeals to me, I will paint on it.” Her first work was exhibited in the Auntie Freeze Art Fair at CAVE SW1 2019 and sold ‘She Follows’. Subsequently, Sahara had her first solo exhibition ‘She Walks with Nature’, in May 2021 and sold some pieces much to her delight. She enjoys painting a wide plethora of subjects especially figurative and as her artist repertoire of knowledge deepens, she has come to appreciate the art of before and the art of now. Sahara an emerging artist, is keen to continue developing her art to see where it takes her. As a yoga and well-being practitioner, finding the balance between her two worlds intertwines her love of people and to see equality and justice within the human race.

Molly Brocklehurst

Molly Brocklehurst

Oil paint
Molly Brocklehurst (b.1994) is a British figurative painter based in South London. She graduated with a BA (distinction) in Fine Art from Leeds College of Art in 2016 before completing her masters at Wimbledon College of Art in 2019. Brocklehurst's work has been exhibited in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Miami, recently showing work at the Maddox Gallery in Mayfair and had work included in the Wing’s private collection in London. She was named a 'Women To Watch, Top 10 Emerging Female Artists by the Maddox Gallery in 2020 and a Saatchi Art Rising Star in 2019. Molly Brocklehurst's work is characterised by her use of a limited pallet, often separated within the composition. Her paintings are strange fictions that blur the boundary between recollection and fantasy. Being nostalgic for our lost histories, Brocklehurst uses a muted pallet and varying layers of visibility and repetition to address time, loss and memory.

We asked...

What's your favourite thing about being a Newcastle artist?

Stuart Jones - Newcastle artist
Living in Newcastle upon Tyne I am spoilt for choice with an abundance of subject to work from, either working at the quayside and the iconic bridges or visiting the surrounding beautiful North East coastline and Northumberland for its spectacular rural scenes and countryside.
We asked...

What's your favourite thing about being a Sheffield artist?

Adam Pearce - Sheffield artist
@apearce
I've lived in Sheffield all my life, but for a brief stint at uni, and I've always adored the great amount of greenery and the rolling hills of this place. the verticality of it means there's always something to look at, and the proud Yorkshire culture throughout feels vibrant and ambitious yet down to earth. It's always inspiring.
James Hillier -
Sheffield artist
@j_hillier
I love the community of Sheffield just as much as the hills and valleys, I love being able to get out of the city so easily to wonderful landscapes but still be in reach of the thriving cultural centre.
Debra D
@debd
Without a shadow of doubt, it's the very fact that Sheffield people are proud of their city!
Christopher C -
Sheffield artist
@chris_c
Sheffield is a bright and creative city, everywhere you look you can see something wonderful - it is a hub for artists.
Karina Ho -
Sheffield artist
@karina_h
It is a creative city packed with wonderful people and architecture with the peak district right on the doorstep. Inspiration all around!
We asked...

What's your favourite thing about being a Manchester artist?

Ashley Cundall - Manchester artist
The diversity of buildings, cultures and people which surround us all.
Amy Davies -
Manchester artist
I’ve lived in Manchester for over 16 years and it was the busy buzz and distinct indie identity that first drew me to the city. I still love how there is something for everyone and how it constantly is evolving and reinventing itself, whilst remaining uniquely Mancunian. The city’s a great hub but it’s also so close to some spectacular landscapes, such as the Peak District, Cheshire plains and Pennines. So when the buzz of the city becomes a bit too much, within an hour you can find yourself in beautiful, breathtaking countryside.
Jen Orpin -
Manchester artist
I have lived in Manchester for over half my life now, it’s where my artistic journey began and where life really began for me. The city is friendly, vibrant and continuously evolving and it’s this changing urban environment that has been a source and inspiration of some of my work in the past. Joining Rogue Artists’ Studios 21 years ago was the best thing for me as an emerging artist in Manchester. They offered great affordable spaces and most importantly a thriving artist community. Being surrounded by fellow artists and friends for support is invaluable at all stages of your career.
We asked...

What's your favourite thing about being a Leeds artist?

Kirsty Whyatt - Leeds artist
The inspiration is overwhelming, urban night scenes are on your doorstep, gritty inner city canals lit up with sodium glow contrasting with the neon lights wrapped around Bridgewater Place. The Atkinson Grimshaws in Leeds Art Gallery are a constant influence, as well as the BT box graffiti. All this, and to be surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales and Pennine Hills. As a painter you don't have to travel far for a life times work.

Sascha -
Leeds artist
Leeds is a city of both family cosiness and fresh-thinking independent businesses. It combines the best of city life and proximity to nature. Sascha LOVES her favourite spots amongst local makers and sellers (ie doughnuts, coffee, organic farmers). Leeds certainly offers a sense of community and personal fulfilment.
Charlotte Hall -
Leeds artist
I've been lucky enough to spend my childhood in the beautiful surroundings Leeds has to offer; with beauty spots such as Otley Chevin on our doorstep. The interesting shapes, unique textures and vivid pops of colour in nature have long inspired my work.

Christ Eastham -
Leeds artist
I’m very proud to be a native of Leeds and to have started my art career in the city centre at the wonderful, Leeds College of Art then known as ‘Jacob Kramer’ College. At the end of last year 2020 I was delighted to obtain a studio back in the heart of Leeds City Centre. This year I am hoping to collaborate on some work with my artistic neighbours at the fabulous ‘Northern ballet Company’

Getting to know our artists

London Artists

Inspiration

We asked our artists to share how their wonderful city inspires their art.

There is always an excuse to be on Hampstead Heath, and endless source of inspiration.

Vanessa Brassey
London Artists

I live on the edge of the city, with the River Thames, Richmond Park and Bushy Park a few minutes cycle away. I love the balance.

Sophie Coe
London Artists

I've juggled a lot between France & England over the past 3 years, in the hopes of finding the perfect creative hub for my work. Although Paris was a truly beautiful and artistic masterpiece, London has become my favourite place to be as an artist, given it's buzzing sleepless atmosphere ! Residents have their unique styles, the West End shows never cease to disappoint, museums and galleries are always showcasing some exciting new exhibitions, there are thrilling events every night of the week, artist residences all around town, and everyone has a story to tell. I draw a lot of inspiration from the always-on aspect of this magical city !

Tessa Paul
London Artists

My work is very closely linked to where I live. I get my inspiration from seeing the same urban landscapes everyday. My paintings capture a 'moment of seeing', when lines, light, colours and shapes all fall into a particular order that suddenly makes sense to me. Reality is simplified, and perspectives become my own. My main focus is colour, which I aim to make vibrant and emotional through gradients and the use of light.

Marie Lenclos
London Artists

When having an artistic block and needing inspiration, I find going for a walk on the beautiful beaches of Bude really helpful. Although I might not have easy access to world-famous galleries, the little pop-up exhibitions held by local artists are very special and personal to the local communities, with Cornwall housing many talented artists.

Amelia Josephine Lovell
London Artists

The sheer volume of creatives and creative spaces in London is what I love most about it. Alongside the constant inspiration, there is a rich network of screenprinters to draw inspiration from, talk techniques, and share opportunities with.

Saoirse Egan
London Artists

Being in London it's got to be the access to so many different galleries - there's always being something new to see and interesting, creative people to talk to.

Lily Hargreaves
London Artists

Diversity. A huge source and ease of access to so much inspiration, materials, possible research.

Ania Perkowska
London Artists

I love how supportive the community is of local artists. Ever since I started painting I have been given the opportunity to showcase my work in Coffee Lab and Eye Mind Heart, two small and independent businesses. This is how people from the area got to know me and it has opened many other doors for me. I will be forever grateful to them for being so supportive of my work. And to everyone in Hertfordshire that has bought a piece from me and has shared the love.

Chio Fernandez
London Artists

It is a very exciting place to be. London's art scene is endless!

Molly Brocklehurst
London Artists

It’s cosmopolitan, people from all walks of life and ages. I love the community spirit and the business of a city.

Lisa Zaman
London Artists

Being surrounded by artists and art galleries. The Museums are an inspiration.
