Artists
Aleksandra and Tymon
Aleksandra and Tymon Adamczak Hello, we are a couple of artists living in Poland. We invite you to the world of our painting, where abstract geometry meets mystery and colour pulses with energy. Our paintings are gateways to hidden dimensions - spaces where symbols intertwine with science and intuition leads where reason has not yet reached. Other painting paths are expressive and mysterious landscapes or symbolic female portraits. You are sure to find a painting that you would like to contemplate in your home or office. There is depth in the simple form. In the colours - the vibration of light and shadows. Each canvas is a journey, each shape an invitation to discover the invisible forces that move the world. Come, feel, see.
Aleksandra Bury
My way of thinking about printmaking appeared at the University of Silesia in Cieszyn, where I studied in the Fine Art faculty. I also studied half a year at Glyndwr University in Wales in Wrexham on an ERASMUS programme. In 2011-2012, I received a scholarship from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for academic achievement. Right now I am studying for a PhD at the University of Silesia in Katowice. One right moment, one thought, one sensual experience can be an inspiration to create a new story with multi-layered aquatint and almost abstract forms.

My paintings are inspired by the lakes, forests and skies of a vast Scandinavian landscape which I frequent. At once beautiful and disconcerting these paintings are defined by a particular Nordic light and yet they have a darker narrative.
Alessia Cors
I'm an italian artist, I paint large scale portraits in an expressionist style. I'm attracted by human gaze, I love to study face characteristics and to express them through colors and brushtrokes.
Alessio Mazzarulli
I started with arts in 1998th, modeling clay until 2000th. You can visit my old website www.alessiomazzarulli.com Since 2000th to 2014th I had no more time to dedicate to arts: studies, degree in economics, marriage, work (I'm currently a tax advisor). In the end of december 2014 I re-started with arts... painting... Now I'm living a full immersion art situation: every life's moment is a great inspirations for painting it. I love painting abstract scape (land, sea, urban); sometime I paint people. For me, painting is to "block the time" in that exactly moment; it's often a faded memory so my artworks are consumed, eroded by time. Sometime I paint walls also eroded by time, with mosses and mushrooms grown on the walls. Passing time is the main topic of my works. I come from a beautiful experience of modeling clay, so I love the sculpture, the third dimension, the sense of touch and my artworks are characterized by relief, thinking to sculpture. Thank you for your read!
Alex Arnell
Full time artist based in South Wales, recently moved back to Wales after nearly 10 years working as an artist in London) - Solo exhibitions in prestigious galleries across uk including many in London - Street art/ murals can be seen in cities across uk and Europe including London, Rome, Naples, Bristol and Cardiff - Currently Represented by several Galleries across the Uk including three galleries in London - Work selected for numerous awards including Discerning eye, mall galleries, London and twice for Welsh artist of the year at St David’s hall, Cardiff - Public and private collections and commissions world wide - Regular features on Street art tours across uk with oil pastel / collage (paper butterflies!) work on Brick lane in London and Leonard lane in Bristol particular favourites - Filmed by award winning filmmaker ‘ Alnoor Dewshi’ for his film ‘Butterflyman’ based on hugely popular paper butterfly installations on Bricklane - in the last two years has been commissioned to paint over 30 bespoke designs on to camper vans I suppose there are three main strands to my practice. Firstly my studio practice where I paint pictures and make sculptures with the purpose of showing them in galleries. Secondly my street art where I make works using spray paint and oil pastels mostly on the streets of east London and Bristol And most recently the third strand has been murals. These include on outdoor public spaces including some council commissioned , private spaces -garden walls/ fences etc and finally vehicle art mostly hand/spray painted onto campervans. Here I will expand on my studio practice as this seems most relevant to the paintings you’ll see on this site. I tend to work in series which I regularly return to. These range from what I call ‘painterly pop’ where subjects range from celebrities to Starwars characters to Lego heads. Pop art subjects but treated with intensity and energy in attempt to bring them more to life! Then there are my ‘Paint over pieces’ where I make bacon or basquiatesque expressionist interventions directly on to prints of famous images for example the ‘art is dead’ series’ which make a comment on the mortality of both the subject and the original image.. Nothing is Forever! The Show birds or budgies where the birds are painted in a format in an attempt to allude to human qualities. Trying to give them a sense of character, mood or emotions so we relate to them as we do people.. The garden birds (usually on a small or miniature scale) which attempt to capture the fleeting nature of our observation of them. Landscape and places paintings which fuse impressionist and expressionist approaches where my main concern is trying to convey a sense of atmosphere. Then there is my street art which has been and to this day is (in one form or another) almost permanently visible for the last ten years on and around Brick lane, London. I depart with a quote from one of the, if not the leading authority on east London street art scene: ‘Alex Arnell has an extraordinary ability to view the layers of colour present on walls around Shoreditch and use existing fragments as a jumping off point for his colourful, thought provoking, often political and hardly ever legal street art. Wildly energetic impressionist interventions often remind passers by of a latter-day Basquiat and their apparent naivety masks a deep knowledge of art theory.’ Dave Stuart Founder and Lead tour guide of Shoreditch street art tours Londons best and highest rated (on trip advisor and Google reviews) street art tour For further articles and films on my street art as well as images/ information on mural/ van commissions this can all be found elsewhere on the internet.
Alex Burke
Alex Burke is a london-based artist who creates mixed media collages and sculptures. She deconstructs her source material, mostly fashion magazines, and reassembles, creating new narratives - usually poking fun at the original image that takes itself too seriously, while causing confusion with sexuality and reality. Her process is never-ending. She deconstructs and reconstructs, even dissecting her own collages and reassembling in either a 2D or 3D form. With fashion at the center of her work, as well as the use of paint and collage mixed in with juxtaposing imagery, such as gender and animal forms, she creates a sense of surrealism to the female form. It is her use of different sources and mediums that makes the image stimulating and dream like, yet although her illustrations are playful and humorous, the uncertainty of what you are viewing creates a sense of darkness.
Alex Cave
At art college I was fascinated in how to translate the three dimensional world that surrounds us onto a two dimensional plane, like a piece of paper or stretched canvas. My focus was looking at how to retain the sense of form and solidity that we perceive in everyday life on a flat surface.I tested out numerous ideas in my sketchbooks, questioning conventional three point perspective rules and eventually developed a geometric style using a modified isometric perspective setup that for me was the most effective way of giving the subjects that I painted this sense of form and depth that I was after. In the years that followed I developed this theme further,and after discovering a maths theory titled 'Combinatorics' and a Japanese video game 'Katamari Damacy',these two subject in particular encouraged me to start rearranging the content in my paintings, opening up or unfolding the shapes in my work; still maintaining the solidity and form but reducing the clunkiness and improving the flow of the final compositions. Another key influence has been the period that I spent working as an animator creating 3d digital art for television and video games. Here I learn't about many physics based visual concepts that I've also since been translating into my paintings and sculptures. A favourite 3d digital technique that springs to mind was discovering 'colour bounce',which at a later date became known in the industry as 'global illumination' and loosely refers to the visual effects upon a subject after light is bounced back and forth a few times. A good example of seeing this effect in real life would be if you held a brightly coloured object next to a white wall and observed the wall adopting a faint tint of the same colour as the object.
Alexander Dodgson
Alexander Dodgson – Artist Statement Art is experience: if embraced, the audience will surrender the passivity of a detached perspective and instead function as a distinct element in the art making process. By adopting this philosophy and developing a crucial understanding of artistic history, the principles of interaction, participation and performance have provided invaluable methods of experimentation in the diverse consideration of material practice. This project remains firmly rooted to performance art history and a wealth of artists (Abramovic, McCarthy, Viennese Actionists) that have used their body and actions in similar ways to challenge the social dynamic of the artist/audience relationship. Throughout studio practice the comprehensive contemplation of portraiture, painting and photography has given way for an expanding canon of work outside the typical means of production. The development of aesthetic quality alongside the context of a flawed human psyche has allowed the overall process to mature into a complex amalgamation of creation and destruction. The process is purposefully initiated by the artist alone however does naturally lend itself towards the collaborative effort of many individuals, with the audience having a direct stake in the artwork’s production. The visceral application of paint has extended into a striking distortion of material/medium, which serves to emphasis the chaotic and disturbing nature of the content despite any misleading interpretations of colour. Principally this self-reflective odyssey attempts to paint the sacrificial anxieties of human action through a series of portraits and transgressive live performances. The extended performances and their subsequent documentation are the culmination of a desire to unite the artist and the audience collaboratively in the art making process. This narrative is representative of the artistic sacrifice of identity, the need for passing over from egotism into shared experience and the celebrated death/birth of the artist. The undisclosed agenda of this event prompts the viewer to re-consider the rules of cohabitation within the gallery institution and promotes an awareness of how individual action can translate through to many. The performance relies on a distinct inter-activity for its full realization yet there is a clear separation between both parties, one without the other and the work would cease to function. This artwork presents a paradoxical symbiosis within the gallery institution that captures raw emotion and presents the artist (self) as a wholly vulnerable concept
Alex Keating
I’m Leeds based artist that loves to create warped illustrations using digital technologies for limited edition prints. Inspiration comes from everyday encounters, music, film and artists such as Salvador Dali, Bruno Munari and Jason Brooks. The prints are in black and white with shades of grey, this was not intentional at first, it was more organic as I try to incorporate the darker elements and sinister undertones of life into my illustrations. When I’m not producing illustrations I’m designing websites, magazines and a whole host of promotional material for www.sereneinnovation.co.uk. Producing illustrations is when I’m most happy, no brief and no limitations.

Alex Williams
Alex grew up in Cornwall. After completing a Foundation course at Falmouth School of Art he went on to study film and photography at Plymouth College of Art and Design. He won the 'film most suitable for theatrical release' award at the Fuji Scholarships with a short film he made and then went on to win a BAFTA writing for children's TV. He is also the author of two children's books which have sold in many languages. Alex has been inspired by the beauty of Wales, since moving to Cardiff in early 2014. This series of images are part of an ongoing exploration of the landscape surrounding the river Taff. Alex sets out on long trips by bicycle searching for the epic in the everyday - interested in the way changing light and weather create drama. His aim is for each photograph to tell its own story and inspire a sense of wonder.
Alexander Randall
Alexander Randall is a London-based artist. A lifelong painter, he works in a range of media with a focus on mark-making to explore the boundary between memory and dream. Alexander is from South London and studied at the universities of Sheffield and Cambridge. His training as a neuroscientist encouraged him to deconstruct complexity to its most essential. Interdisciplinary in both media and inspiration, his paintings take up this charge, reenacting the spaces between what we know and what we think we know. Drawing on philosophy, history, literature and science, his impetus as an artist is to remind us, above all, of what it is to be human.
Alex Williamson
Through my work I explore the physicality of digital media. ‘Digital’ is used to describe anything that is being represented in binary language, this is then translated by a computer into light or sound, but there is always the microscopic physical marks on a disk that make up the binary information. This creates a flickering relationship between the virtual and physical information that is integral to the ‘digital’. I am aiming to create similar relationships in my work, between structure and surface, and subject matter and medium The patterned surfaces of my work are based on the patterns created by pixels in bitmap images. Although I do not use reference images, the patterns can feel as though they are either part of a larger image, or the whole of an abstract field.
Alexander Koval
Aleksandr Koval was born April 9, 1974 in the city of Lipetsk. Craving for fine arts awakened him from an early age - he was happy to draw by pencil, and sometimes by pen house and garden of his grandmother, which now lives in Voronezh, made other sketches. As the father of Aleksandr Koval was the military, they would have had to change their place of residence: Central Russia, Ural, Siberia, Kamchatka, Lithuania, Grozny, Mongolia. Picturesque corners of the places where he lived and where he went (to Poland and Turkey), the artist, for many years, appear on his canvases. Topic work of Aleksander Koval least extensive than the geography of his place of residence: the fields, woods, groves, parks, Russian hut, hut Ukrainian, monuments, river banks, seascapes ... Each season in its own nature bestows beauty. A painter celebrates the beauty of nature by brush and paints. Also you can find among his art works still lifes. In the land of volcanoes artist spent a period of his life, which is called "adolescence." And may have passed since many years, he has managed to reliably depict what I saw back in the early years. And it is - is not the only case. Of course, could not sing Aleksander and the beauty of the Black Sea steppe region, which became his family. He first arrived in Nikolaev, when he was seven years old. But not for long time. The circumstances were such that the peninsula between the Bug river and Ingul river had Preseli the peninsula nestled between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean. However, in 1989 by the will of fate, he was back in the city of Saint Nicholas. Here trained skills from the honored artist of Ukraine Mikhail Ryasnyanskii, and before arriving here - Honoured Artist of the USSR Eduard Gagarin. And before it started to learn to known our countryman, the young painter depicted on his canvases All Saints Church, which is located in the old cemetery, Church of Nativity in the street Lyagina, the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Joseph in the street Decembrists. Not once portrayed in the paintings and dome-shaped building, located at the intersection of Lenin Avenue and the streets of the Soviet. After one look at the building from a distance, it is immediately evident that this is a work of art. Also, many times on the paintings of Aleksander Koval presented the island of Berezan - the way it can be seen from Ochakov and Rybakovka and the way it can be seen arriving there. And, perhaps, there was no such a painter, who would not inspired by its beauty Migiya. Aleksandr Koval did not even remember how many trips to this "Nicholas Switzerland" as not remember how many paintings brought its picturesque corners. Since 1994 Aleksandr Koval - member regional creative unification "Pribuzhie." Repeatedly been awarded the regional, national and international exhibitions and art competitions. His paintings are in museums and private collections in Ukraine, Russia, Italy, USA, Israel, and China. It should also be noted that his mother, Lidia, and sister Ruslana - are also an artists. And also for they works has rewards.
