LUCY FIONA MORRISON - OIL PAINTER

''depicting the alluring romanticism of nature''

Having graduated from Norwich School of Art in 2010, I have pursued my passion for painting, working as a professional artist and painter in the UK. British landscapes, often depicting the alluring romanticism of nature are my inherent strand of oil works, created using traditional methods of paint-making and application.

Career highlights include exhibiting at The Other Art Fair, Bristol, Art Fair East, Norwich, The Great Yorkshire Show, Harrogate, The Brick Lane Gallery, London. My paintings are represented by Gallery 104, New York, USA and held in private collections Internationally.

ALEXI K - ABSTRACT ARTIST

''developing naturally towards abstraction''

After college, I started out doing figurative and illustrative art, and even got signed to a big agency, but I eventually realised that the kind of art that I wanted to explore had little to do with commercial considerations.

Influenced by movements such as Cubism ( Picasso and Braque ), Bauhaus and the Dutch Avant-Garde ( Kandinsky and Mondrian ), I developed naturally towards abstraction. 

I share my studio with fellow painter Zarina Keyani, and we often use our wall space to exhibit work by friends from our art collective The Cobalt Blue.

Alexi has exhibited in Japan, Greece and the UK, and have clients in various parts of the USA.

JOYCE TREASURE - MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

''a collection of mixed media drawings especially created for Birmingham Open Studios''

Having completed my first year as a mature student studying Black Studies at Birmingham City University, I feel the creative need to expand my studies into my artwork. 

Black identity is a theme that runs through my work, as I’m interested how as Black people we form a sense of who we are.

Hymns is a collection of mixed media drawings especially created for Birmingham Open Studios: Portraits of civil right leaders and people that I have sourced from the internet have been drawn on to hymn pages. I use these portraits to splice cultural and iconic imagery together over symbols of power and hierarchy by using collage, graphite, ink and acrylic.

I am interested in making enquiries into our visual, historic backdrops; the examined and unexamined, the seen and the unseen. My work also uses symbols of colonialism to view how patriarchy often underpins and exploits society and how this too can influences our psyche.
