Marcia Bennett Male and Lynne Collins 29/06 - 28/07
Lynne Collins and Marcia Bennett Male bring us a delightful collection of work based around food, thus continuing a long tradition in Art. The Art world's engagement in food is still very present in contemporary Art as both artists demonstrate in this joyful celebration through photography and sculpture.
The representation of the familiar in different media and format brings us a fresh look at what seems commonplace. At the same time, each image and each sculpture becomes something distinctive and sublime in its own right.
Lynne Collins is an award-winning phtotographer who is known for her artfully arranged still-lives. Her work is imbued by elegance and poetry.
Marcia Bennet Male is a member of the Royal Society of Scuptors whose chief focus is the depiction of food and all things related.

Stephen Marshall |
Stephen Marshall is a British Artist whose work has been internationally exhibited in numerous solo and group shows.
Much of his work has explored themes people in space, or groups of people moving through abstract spaces barely interacting with one another. His earlier work, as represented here, is more introspective and portrays captivating environments that draw the viewer into an internal psychological dialogue yet portrays external elements of perception.
The title of the piece, 'Disconcern', is a characteristic terminological invention that Marshall often uses in his work. Here he conflates 'disconcert' with 'concern' (or perhaps 'unconcerned') to describe an atmosphere that somehow is strange and yet also familiar.
In his more recent work he has moved from the more traditional oil on board to working with glass and using a technique of layering to create impressions of activity and movement and layered existences. |

Dolores Sanchez Calvo |
Dolores’s work explores notions of anomie, ontological crises and the dislocation of the emotional from the physical and intellectual dimensions of selfhood. Her work seeks to challenge the often sanitised and anodyne aesthetic of trauma, grief and mourning.
The depiction of individuals deliberately removed from identifiable contexts seeks to confront the viewer with a series of parsed images; these suggest a narrative that can appear raw and disturbing but open up to different interpretations to different viewers.
Since relocating to the UK, the artist has frequently exhibited internationally and in the UK. In the UK, she featured in the National Portrait Gallery 2007 Photographic Portrait competition and as a winner of the Westminster Arts Photographic Award (2008).
