L - Luminaire Arts - Nash “I choose to eliminate the human body from my current work. The traces we leave behind are of much more importance to me” “Within my recent work ‘Pier Series’ I have made efforts to depart from the study of inner city and the suburban to lay a focus on what perhaps is an altogether more fragile yet enduring existence, such is portrayed in the many coastal and estuary settlements of the South East and beyond.” ‘Pier 2’ 137cm x 107cm Oil and gloss on canvas ‘Pier 12’ 137cm x 107cm Oil, gloss, acrylic, emulsion, cyanotype, chalk, plaster and card on canvas ‘Pier 1’ 137cm x 107cm Oil and gloss on canvas Nash’s work gives the viewer a narrative of past, present and perhaps even the future almost immediately through its boldness, colour, and unexpected form. “I make images of space and structure. I seek to document the place in which I exist by indexing the personal, social and political. I can only work from the experienced. The contours of the ‘man-made’ negotiated daily within the high street and suburban dwelling form the structure of much of my work. My intention is not to illustrate environment but rather to create a work where questioning and dialectic lay to its heart. I choose to eliminate the human body from my current work. The traces we leave behind are of much more importance to me and provide a farther-reaching surface of exploration, the body can be as unreliable a model as it is temporary and I endeavor a vanity to rationalise the spaces we move between in an attempt to obtain a more telling document concerned simply with the notion of a ‘real’ us.” L - Luminaire Arts - ‘Pier 13’ 137cm x 107cm Oil, gloss, Dulux and shellac canvas L - Luminaire Arts - ‘Human Nature Painting Series, Untitled 11’ 55cm x 55cm Oil and gloss on reclaimed coffee table ‘Human Nature Painting Series, Untitled 6’ 46cm x 36cm x 1.5cm Oil and gloss on canvas ‘Human Nature Painting Series, Untitled 22’ 65cm x 42cm x 6cm Oil and gloss on Tesco refrigeration shelf L - Luminaire Arts - L - Luminaire Arts - Caroline “I use the expressive and gestural quality of ink and brush to create a meditation on the concept of time and the non-empirical” ‘Dark Triptych’ Ink on watercolour paper 3 x A3 H 42 x W 27cm. Total size H 45 x W 105cm appx unframed “My current work is inspired by the Jade Bi disks found in Neolithic burial sites in China. Archaeologists know that they were considered highly important due to their placement on and around the body but their true significance and meaning remains a mystery. I am intrigued by their symbolism and the universality of the shape: a pierced disc, and fascinated by the thoughts, hopes and imaginings encompassed within this simple yet fundamental form.

I throw the various parts and I assemble them in a playful way. I emphasize on the tactility of the object and the way contrasting textures change our perception of colour and shape. During the firing, the objects build their own character and reappear as records of an alteration process and metaphors of our transitory existence” “I approach the ceramic object as a messenger. This messenger carries a story about our relationship with the world and about our apprehension of our own selves” Stathis’ sculptural stories explore the borderline area between two realms; the liminal state of suspension between the known and the unknown, between the expected and the unexpected.They are witnesses of change as a fundamental element of life. They remind us that life is not a straight line but more of a journey through paradox and ambiguity. ‘Cocoon’ Ceramic (high-fired glazing and lustre finish) 24 x 20 x 18 cm ‘Amaltheia’ Ceramic (high-fired glazing) 20 x 48 x 17 cm ‘Pod’ Ceramic (high-fired glazing) 34 x 22 x 36 cm . ‘Politeia’ Ceramic ‘Nucellus’ Ceramic (high-fired glazing) 26 x 12 x 12 cm L - Luminaire Arts - ‘Fossil’ Ceramic (high-fired glazing) 18 x 18 x 22 cm L - Luminaire Arts - Isobel Isobel has a passion for porcelain; she creates contemporary art, lighting and interior decorations.

She set up her studio in 2003 and has since gained international acclaim for her work. “My work can be described as 3 dimensional drawings, in the medium of ceramics. Each piece, on the surface, an inanimate object, has been given layers of emotion and embedded with stories, which are open for interpretation in the viewer’s mind. When put together, the pieces combine to make a tableau staging the still lives of everyday objects. The life size pieces and the unexpectedness of the scale create a slightly surreal experience as you walk through this strange environment. I work very instinctively, one piece leads to the next, I try not to pin down what I am doing or even why. I have to trust and believe that I can communicate through this medium. My searching is never complete; each piece is a journey for answers that are only hinted at, with more questions” Luminaire Arts are proud to present a selection of Katharine’s sculptural stories. Fairytales, fantasy epics to everyday soap operas, each piece will absorb your senses, a voyeuristic journey into another world. ‘Everday Exploration’ Clay, porcelain slip, porcelain and black stain Dimensions: Total piece is approx H 54 x W 50 x D 30cm left ‘Deer’ Clay, porcelain slip, porcelain and black stain Dimensions: Total piece is approx H 95 x W 55 x D 29cm right ‘Uphostered Chair’ Clay, porcelain slip, porcelain and black stain Dimensions: Total piece is approx H 92 x W 50 x D 36cm L - Luminaire Arts - L - Luminaire Arts - ‘Cut’ Clay, porcelain slip, porcelain and black stain Dimensions: Total piece is approx H 47 x W 95 x D 27cm ‘A Stitch in Time’ Clay, porcelain slip, porcelain and black stain Dimensions: Total piece is approx H 47 x W 95 x D 27cm ‘Call out’ Clay, porcelain slip, porcelain and black stain Dimensions: H 38cm x W 42cm x D 48cm L - Luminaire Arts - ‘Girl’ Clay, porcelain slip, porcelain and black stain ‘Butterfly draws’ Clay, porcelain slip, porcelain and black stain L - Luminaire Arts - Silvina Silvina is an Argentinean multi-skilled artist currently based in London.With a background in graphic design, illustration and painting, her style engages the viewer to hold her paintings as a visual question in the mind.
