New artist Pak Keung Wan artworks have tapped into the current trend for re-imagining vintage photography. The attention to detail in these artworks is mind blowing. For each and every line in Pak Keung's drawings the pencil has been sharpened to a point in order to maintain the quality and consistency of mark that Pak Keung desires. Each artwork takes around 2-3 full days of work.
"The contrast of media intrigues and captivates the viewer", adds Art Consultant, Katherine Mellor.
JOHN LIJO BLUEFISH
Curator Joanna Spice says, "John Lijo Bluefish is an interesting artist. Whilst he has used technology to fracture the photograph, he has also chosen to use paint as the medium to convey images of popular culture or celebrity. This multi faceted technique is reminiscent of the works of Chuck Close and the pop images of Warhol and Lichtenstein, resulting in vivid strong artworks. " The wow factor in John's pieces is in the detail, just zoom in on one of his kaleidoscope portraits to see for yourself!

McNaught has a mixed-media approach to her artwork that usually manifests itself in painted-drawings on traditional and sometimes unusual supports, such as celestial maps! Her soft style suggests a delicate relationship between nature and ourselves.
