Janine Daddo: ‘Talk of Love’

Artist Statement:
“Talk of love….. we spoke of love, dreams and the silly things, laughter rang loud for all to hear, we all had a story to tell, a moment to share, perhaps it was the champagne, perhaps it was the love of friends, family and the joy of just being there. Live each day with your heart on your sleeve and feel the love that is there for you in return.”

Marina Gonzalez Eme: ‘Blank’

Artist Statement:
“‘Blank’ is an adjective, it is a state of mind, a deep feeling, an unfilled gap. I start to paint in a blank space. My mind is blank.  The surface of the canvas is an empty place where I lose (and find) myself everyday. A place where my ideas break up into many eyes, hands, colours and lines.”

Roy B Wilkins: ‘Face 2 Face’

Press Release:
“Approaching the canvas with a quiet mind, Roy B Wilkins is an instinctive artist who allows his reactions to the music he listens to help shape the creative process of his work. His works are emotional landscapes in a spontaneous abstract expressionist style. They resonate with energy as he experiments with different media and techniques.”
