128 ARTIST BIOS: William Bradley William Bradley s work is abstract art and about abstract art. Viewing the idea of the pure abstract language as problematized by its lack of communication from artist to viewer, Bradley builds in a more communal language of references and quotes from abstract art history, from Abstract Expressionism and artists such as John Hoyland, Sandra Blow and Eduardo Chillida. William Bradley s paintings distort historical art references deconstructing the role of abstraction in both modernism and contemporary art practice. WILLIAM BRADLEY [b.1984, London] graduated with a Masters Degree from Wimbledon College. He has been selected for FutureMap and the Catlin Art prize 2009 and 2011 and has been included in several prominent collections. Solo exhibitions include: Tall Tales, Galerie Richard, New York, (2013), Good Plan, EB&Flow, London (2012), In Between the Gaps murmurart, London (2010). Group exhibitions: Work Hard, Play Hard (with Mark Selby) Berloni, London (2014), Person, Place or Thing, 68 Projects, Berlin (2014), Summer Mixer, Joshua Liner Gallery, New York (2013). Bradley currently lives and works between London and Los Angeles Jonathan Chaplin Jonathan Chaplin s paintings explore how technological developments impact the ways we mediate the world around us. By building the layers of each artwork on a bright background, Jonathan s works are consequently reminiscent of both cell phone screens and film noir sets. Each piece elegantly uses shadows and thoughtfully paired shades, so that they appear three dimensional, jumping out of the canvas. This is elevated by the jagged edges of objects featured, often household items, allowing the artworks to blur the boundary between being rendered or painted. JONATHAN CHAPLINE [b. 1987, Savannah, GA] graduated with a BFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design and holds European Honors Program, RISD from Rome, Italy. Solo exhibitions include: Housework, Victori+Mo, Brooklyn, NY (2017); Lagoon, GCA, New York, NY (2016). Previous group exhibitions include: Garudge Sale, Canada Gallery, NY (2017) and The Cactus Show, Curated by Letha Wilson and Dan Gratz, Caryville New York (2017). Chapline currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Jonni Cheatwood Jonni Cheatwood is a Brazilian-American visual artist working across many different disciplines including painting, photography, graphic design and fashion. Cheatwood s work describes the broad visual ideas stemming from still life, abstraction and minimalism. The graffiti-like scribbles, scratches and primitive colours of Cheatwood s work is the controlled chaotic work of an erudite, expressionist. Beginning with direct marks, squiggles and doodles Cheatwood reacts and builds compositions over time, working with the studio and the detritus that can build up as a result of working on the floor. Intuitively embracing, repeating and then responding to the marks, both intentional and accidental, that can occur all the while drawing on references to still life, interactions of color, text and graffiti Cheatwood stitches together an autobiographical reflection of his perceived experience of the city in which he lives. JONNI CHEATWOOD [b. 1986, Thousand Oaks, CA] graduated from Arizona State University. Solo Exhibitions include: Strange To Meet You, Tappan, LA (2017) and Don t Lift Your Heroes Up So High, Palabra, Phoenix (2015). Selected group exhibitions include: Pop-Up at the Refinery, Mika Gallery, New York (2017) and Rema Hort Foundation, Nicodim Gallery, LA (2017) and he will be exhibiting with BEERS in his first group exhibition with the gallery, entitled, 75 Works of Paper in London, UK. Cheatwood currently lives and works in LA. Pat Cleveland Pat Cleveland is the daughter of American Fine Arts Painter Lady Bird Cleveland and is an internationally recognised model with a career spanning over fifty years. With an educational background in the arts and having worked in fashion design for many years, Cleveland is now returning to her passion for art and is working on works for several upcoming exhibitions. PAT CLEVELAND [b. 1950, New York City, New York] graduated from New York s School of Art and Design (1969). Cleveland has worked alongside Andy Warhol, Richard Bernstein and Salvador Dali, Bruce Weber, Irving Penn, Herb Ritts, Guy Bourdin, Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Dior and Karl Lagerfeld among others. Cleveland lives and works in New York. 128

129 Miles Debas Miles Debas is a set designer, prop stylist and artist based in New York. Debas makes paintings with rich surfaces and surprising imagery taking inspiration from somewhat unconventional moments of people and places. Debas weaves together elements of Cubism and Fauvism with a more graphic, contemporary handling of space that results in playfully idiosyncratic paintings that display a clear admiration for the great Modern painters. MILES DEBAS [b. 1985, Paris, France] graduated from Skidmore College and is currently completing his MFA in painting at Hunter College, NY. Selected group exhibition include: Exquisite Show, Fowler Arts Collective, Greenpoint, Brooklyn (2017). Debas currently lives and works in New York City. Kim Dorland Kim Dorland s works seek to remind us of the power of nature, and humanity s impact upon it. His paintings, often mixtures of Oil and Acrylic, are inspired by the landscape of his native Canada, and by traditional landscape painting and portraiture. Through their use of harsh colours and depictions of objects such as graffiti-ridden walls and bridges encroaching on the natural world, they depict a more sinister undertone to the environment than first meets the eye. Figures are often incorporated, although they are barely recognisable; ghostly, shadowed, and obscured with hoods covering their faces, they bring a distinctly human sense of the uncanny to the natural scenes. KIM DORLAND [b. 1974, Alberta, Canada] completed his MFA at York University, Toronto, Ontario, and his BFA at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Vancouver. Recent solo exhibitions include I Know That I Know Nothing, Angell Gallery, Toronto, (2016), The End is the Beginning is the End, Equinox Gallery, Vancouver, (2016), Everyday Monsters, Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, (2015) and I ve Seen the Future. Brother, Galerie Antoine Eraskiran, Montreal, (2015).

Dorland lives and works in Vancouver. James Drinkwater James Drinkwater is a Newcastle-based artist whose practice traverses painting, sculpture, assemblage and collage. Drinkwater makes work about place, intimacy and memory, he uses abstraction, colour and mark making as a vehicle in which to translate these concerns. JAMES DRINKWATER [b Newcastle, NSW, Australia] studied at the National Art School, Sydney, before moving to Melbourne and then Germany. His work is held in major public and private collections both nationally and internationally. In 2014 Drinkwater won the Brett Whiteley Travelling Scholarship.

Selected group exhibitions: Spring. 1883, NKN Gallery, The Establishment Hotel, Sydney (2017) and Into Abstraction II, Macquarie University Gallery, Sydney (2017). Drinkwater lives and works in Newcastle. Jonathan Edelhuber Jonathan Edelhuber works might depict a person or a place, but the physical subject of each work isn t the main focus. As a form of personal symbolism, these subjects are an impetus for something deeper. They re an attempt to grasp something that was once felt. An experience that meant so much it has to be replayed over and over as to not lose it. While these images are deeply personal, Jonathan hopes to leave enough room for the viewer to ask their own questions, to experience something of their own. He creates to make a thought or a feeling become something physical. As if each thought was important enough to be explored in such a way. While Jonathan finds beauty in the paint and surfaces of his pictures, he hopes for something deeper that can be grasped by the viewer and valued beyond the physicality. JONATHAN EDELHUBER [b. 1984, Arkansas] graduated with a BFA from Harding University in Solo exhibitions include: The Palace, Monroe, La in 2016 and 2014 and Channel To Channel Gallery, Nashville, TN (2016).

130 Nick Flatt (w. Paul Punk) Texas-born Nick Flatt is known for his large-scale photorealistic portraits, often with provocative themes gleaned from titles like Fuck Religion, Pussy Fingers, and Nip Slip. Working alongside Paul Punk (Paul Punk (a Berlin-based graffiti artist who started experimenting with the medium at age twelve), The duo blend together elements from comic books, graffiti, tabloid photos, and early gestural painting to create a unique form of urban abstraction. Heavily influenced by digital culture, Flatt & Punk pick various components from contemporary art movements, reduce them, then merge them back together to create a new visual language that looks like modern art thrown into a Photoshop blender. NICK FLATT [b. 1981, Texas, USA] : Paul Punk [b. 1980, Berlin Germany]. Solo exhibitions include: DOOM, BSMT Space, London (2016); Class War, Moen Mason Gallery, Tucson, Arizona (2014) and; Control, White Walls Gallery, San Francisco, CA (2013). Group Exhibitions include: Cut Copy Paste, COA Gallery, Montreal, Canada (2017); Neon, BSMT Space, London (2017); BC 700, Artist Union, Berlin, Germany (2017) and; This Ain t Main Street, Master s Projects, New York (2015). Flatt and Punk currently live and work in Berlin, Germany. Robert Fry Robert Fry typically executes works in a flattened perspective in which a human figure is reduced to its bare elements. Fry is only concerned in mapping the body in a referential sense and his figures are stripped of any sense of naturalism. In obscuring his figures, he references a blocking of information and identity to give way to psychological insinuations. These elements serve a greater conceptual mythology, in that the manipulated physical entities suggest a complexity of meaning beyond what is immediately evident. In using expressionism and abstraction, he finds a new language of representation. ROBERT FRY (b London), graduated with a BA Hons Fine Art from Oxford Brooks University in Solo exhibitions include: Robert Fry and Tina Schwarz, Galerie Kornfeld, Berlin (2017); Partners, Galerie Kornfeld, Berlin (2015) and VOLTA NY (2015). Group exhibitions include: The Nude in the XX and XXI Century, Sotheby s SI2, London, England (2015) and 100 Painters of Tomorrow, One Art Space, New York (2014). Lenz Geerk Lenz Geerk s works typically present his subjects isolated, appearing undisturbed and unaware of being seen. This way, Geerk draws on the curious relationship between exhibitionism and voyeurism, intimacy and anonymity, bringing out the bottoms of our feet as a metaphor for the operation of self-reflection and self-profiling that appears to dominate contemporary culture. LENZ GEERK [b.1988, Basel] graduated from Kunstakademie Dusseldorf. Selected solo exhibitions include: Closer, Städtische Galerie Stapflehus, Kunstverein Weil am Rheim (2015); The O, Mark Christopher Gallery, Toronto (2015) and Jager, DST Galerie, Munster (2015). Selected group exhibitions include: One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong, Anna Klinkhammer, Galerie (2015) and Grenznah, Galerie Skolska 28, Prague (2015). Geerk lives and works In Düsseldorf. Ina Gerken Ina Gerken s works evolve around the essential component of the brushstroke. In her work, Gerken explores the interplay of the paintbrush and paint in full range through various application modes. Her works, seemingly untamed in an expressive, almost rhythmic gesture, are characterised by an ambivalence between ease and precision. INA GERKEN [b.1987, Speyer, Germany] graduated in Fine Art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (2016). Selected solo shows include: Recent Traces, NAM project, Milan (2017), Verve & Transition, Gallery Golestani, Dusseldorf (2015) and If Not Then, Ringstube, Mains (2012).

131 Clinton Hayden Clinton Hayden s studio-based multidisciplinary practice uses photography, objects and installation methods to investigate ideas of desire, intimacy and longing. Through the careful, poetic combination of photography and artist-made objects, Hayden works with the understanding of the photograph both as image and object - A duality Susan Sontag once described as a pseudo presence and token of absence. Knowing that these states are tied to notions of melancholy and mortality, Hayden builds immersive and haptic sites for the exploration of love and longing, subject and object, lover and other. Clinton HAYDEN (b. 1978, Orange, AUS) obtained a MFA with Distinction from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology School of Art in 2011, and a BFA from the Australian National University School of Art in Hayden s first solo Objects for Rebels and Lovers with Beers London in 2015 was given top five shows to see in May from London Time Out and Whitechapel Gallery. He exhibits work frequently and has shown in London, Melbourne, New York and Reykjavik. Notable group shows include The Gravity of Form at Beers London in 2013 and Mistaken Identities at Modern Art Oxford in His published work includes the series Hunting for Excerpt Magazine #4 2012, and the self published artist book fugue in Hayden is held in private collections in Melbourne, London and New York Aly Helyer Aly Helyer s work interrogates representations of the self. Her oil and gouache paintings excavate the performance of character, the ruptures, tension and violence at stake in our image and the apparent conflict of our desire for a singular depiction of identity. Duality, and the impossibility of a unified self is at stake in the paintings, as her portraits push at the edges of the frame and dissolve into surfaces. The slippage between subject, background and foreground creates a dark and absurd tension that simultaneously seduces and repels. ALY HELYER [b. 1965,Thornaby, North Yorkshire] graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design. Solo exhibition include: Soft Subversions, Herrick Gallery, London (2014). Group exhibitions include: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Charlie Smith, London (2016), Sampler, Arcade Gallery, London (2016) and Endgame, Turps Gallery, London (2016). Helyer lives and works in London. Damien Hoar De Galvan Damien Hoar De Galvan typically creates small wooden sculptural forms however, occasionally works across different mediums. All materials used by De Galvan are found or reused playing on the appeal of old and worn objects as a starting point to begin new work. De Galvan s work is very much process based, seeking out and solving problems throughout the construction. DAMIEN HOAR DE GALVAN [b. 1979, Northampton, MA] graduated with a Masters Degree from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Selected solo exhibitions include: Ok, Needles and Pens, San Francisco (2015) and Wake Up, Carroll and Sons, Boston (2015). Group exhibitions include: Lost Cat, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Dennis (2015) and A Few Conversations About Colour, DM Contemporary, New York (2015). De Galvan lives and works in Boston. Gregory Hodge Gregory Hodge constructs illusionary abstractions from a mélange of source material including painted abstract motifs on drafting film, coloured paper and masking tape, before rendering these collages in paint. Using complex and systematic technical processes such as trompe-l oeil, cast shadows and manipulating paints translucent and opaque qualities, the paintings playfully mimic the physical fragility and provisional nature of the source material. GREGORY HODGE [b. 1982, Sydney] graduated with a PhD from Canberra School of Art. Selected Solo exhibitions include: Paintings, BUS Projects, Melbourne (2016), Collages, Sullivan + Strumpf, Sydney (2015) and A Fabled Gesture, Canberra Contemporary Art Space, ACT (2015).

Hodge lives and works in Sydney. 131

132 Anna Ilsley Anna Ilsley is a contemporary painter whose practice challenges cultural representations of femininity from deep within the ancient world to current day figures in popular culture. Often seeking to readdress the male perspective that has framed views of women throughout history up to the present day, Ilsley gleefully picks away at these stereotypes with a wry sense of humour to present her protagonists as joyously free of oppressive notions of female propriety. ANNA ILSLEY [b. 1982, Hertfordshire] completed her Post Graduate Diploma at Prince s Drawing School. Selected solo exhibitions include: Temple of Lusts, S-T-O-R-E, London (2014) and Shadow of a Shadow, British School of Athens (2013).

Iser is inspired by humanity and his projects celebrate unity, diversity and resilience in the beauty around the world.

THOMAS ISER [b. 1987, Metz, FRANCE] Self-educated, started graffiti at a very young age. Solo exhibitions include: Le Silence Du Chaos Luxembourg (2013) Group exhibition: Young Blood Miltgen gallery, Luxembourg (2012) and Art 2 Cure at International Bank of Luxembourg, Luxembourg (2016), Iser lives and works in all the people he portrays around the world. Josh Jefferson Josh Jefferson has honed his medium by working with colored pencil, ink and gouache on blank pages removed from vintage books. With this combination of materials he achieves a rich, delicate surface that adds to the mystery and expressiveness of each image/head. His work revolves solely on the abstracted conceptualizing of the human face. Though based in geometrical shapes, Jefferson is able to capture the emotion and feeling within the confines of those shapes. His is work that appears technically proper but emotionally resonant. JOSH JEFFERSON [b St. Petersburg FL] graduated with a BFA from the School of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA. Solo exhibitions include, Shaboopie, Steven Zevitas Gallery, Boston, MA (2016) and Head into the Trees, Gallery 16, San Francisco (2015).

Jefferson lives and works in Boston, MA. Daniel Jensen Daniel Jensen s paintings, sculptures and drawings often explore issues surrounding contemporary society, pop culture, film, literature and nature in decline. His work is filled with abstract and figurative elements not related in any narrative sense. A patchwork of references and techniques gives life to a series of characters and a personal universe where humour and deep sincerity are entwined and unconstrained. DANIEL JENSEN [b. 1972, Malmo] graduated from The National Academy of Fine Art, Oslo and Valand School of Fine Art in Gothenburg. Solo exhibitions include: Evidence of Absence, Bjorkholmen Gallery, Stockholm, Sweden (2015), Before The Beginning, Galleri Konstepidemin, Gothenburg, Sweden, (2014).Group exhibitions include: He Fell Through So We Came Looking For You, Gallery Steinsland Berliner, Stockholm, Sweden, (2017), Micro Salon #7, Galerie Linlassable, Paris, France, (2017), HyperMagic, Mountain Gallery, New York, USA, (2017), When The Darkness Comes, It s All Good, Varbergs Konsthall, Varberg, Sweden, (2016). Jensen lives and works in Stockholm. 132

133 Erik Jones Erik Jones work is vibrant and colourful, expressing a heightened sense of realism, captured in his female subjects, juxtaposed with sporadic mark making and nonrepresentational forms that could be said to mimic geometric high-end fashion. This effect is achieved by using multiple mediums such as watercolour, coloured pencil, acrylic, water-soluble wax pastel and water-soluble oil on paper. Erik Jones (b St. Petersburg Florida). Received a bachelor s degree from Ringling College of Art and Design Out of college, Working primarily in cover illustration, Erik toured the US, showing at different pop culture and art conventions. He gradually made his way to Brooklyn, New York in 2009, where he now resides. Jordan Kerwick Jordan Kerwick s dense impasto brushstrokes flatten the perception of space; instead it is his thick application of paint that offers dimension and texture. The self-taught Australian artist explores the relationship between thick patches of colour and form while incorporating recurring elements of iconography such as contours of palm trees and anchors as a means of fusing painting and sketching. These intuitive and enticingly tactile marks celebrate artists role of investigating the inherent potential of his chosen media of oil paint. JORDAN KERWICK [b.1982, Melbourne, Australia] Solo exhibition include: Fourth Time Around, Linberg Galleries, Victoria, Australia (2017). Group exhibitions include: Summer Cool, Anna Zorina Gallery, New York City, (2017), Angry Boys, Galerie Rompone, Koln, Germany (2017), Micro Salon #7, Galerie L inlassable, Paris, France (2017), Local Group Show, Seventh Gallery, Melbourne, Australia, (2016). Kerwick lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. Sandro Kopp Sandro Kopp explores the possibilities and boundaries of portrait painting. His most recent experimentations include painting friends and family via Skype conversations, looking at the concept of mediated presence and examining at the meeting points of classical painting and digital technology. Kopp s earlier works from 2003 involve the sitters to be painted without clothes, props or background allowing the representations to be free from anything that would link them to their societal context, or to the specific trappings of the moment in history they inhabit. Whereas paintings from Take Time I, II and III are slowly built up with several years worth of palette-scrapings. Each blob being a trace from a particular day or two that is then built up over months into a painting while being refined in dozens of layers surrounded by precious metals like gold, platinum and palladium. SANDRO KOPP [b. 1978, Heidelberg, Germany]. Kopp s work has been exhibited at Lehmann Maupin, New York; Victoria Miro Gallery, London; The National Portrait Gallery, London and other galleries in Europe, America and New Zealand. Kopp lives and works in Nairn, Northern Scotland. William Lachance William Lachance is best known for his brightly coloured figurative and abstract work. Lachance s figurative paintings explore the enveloping space behind and around isolated figures; to look beyond what is depicted and to create a unique narrative. Lachance s abstract paintings however, flirt with the ideas that take place on the surface. The narratives still appear, however, they weave their way through abstract forms on the way to somewhere right in front of the viewer. WILLIAM LACHANCE [b. 1966, St Louis, Missouri] is an American painter and professor of Painting and Art History. Graduated with a BFA from The Kansas City Art Institute and MFA from Indiana University. Solo exhibitions include: Art Athina, Athens, Greece (2017), Rod Bianco Gallery, Oslo, Norway (2017), Direktorenhaus, Berlin, Germany, (2017), Junior Space, Melbourne, Australia (2017).

134 Adam Lee Adam Lee works from his studio in the hills of the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, and he works mostly with traditional painting and drawing materials. His work references a wide range of sources including historical and colonial photography, biblical narratives, natural history and contemporary music, film and literature to investigate aspects of the human condition in relation to ideas of temporal and supernatural worlds. ADAM LEE (b.1979, Melbourne, Australia) received his Bachelor of Arts, Fine Art (Painting) from the Royal Melbourne Institute of technology. Lee continued his studies with a Masters in Research In Fine Art from the Royal Melbourne Institute of technology and furthered his education with a PhD in Research at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.

He has just completed the Glasshouse Stonehouse Residency in the South of France (Aug. 2017). Lee lives and works in Australia. Dane Lovett Dane Lovett s paintings are delicately crafted observations of familiar subject matter, from domestic plants and flowers to leftover remnants of music and popular culture. His work often echoes traditional still-life painting, yet a familiar arrangement of flowers and vases take on new meaning with the inclusion of forgotten and outdated technology. The imagery of a vintage synthesiser, an old Vinyl LP or a discarded television, are placed in a nostalgic haze that questions their belonging as they float between the personal and the universal. DANE LOVETT [b. 1984, Brisbane, Australia] Holds two Bachelor Degrees, Fine Arts from Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane and 1st Arts Honours from Victorian College of Art, University of Melbourne. Recently graduated with a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from Victorian College of Art, University of Melbourne. Winner of multiple awards and residencies.

Lovett lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. Leif Low-Beer Leif Low-Beer s enigmatic drawings and collages invites the curious eye. Low-Beer engages in a playful re-ordering of ideas, images and expectations through the use of constructed, multipart and or recombined compositions of drawings, collages and assemblages. Low-Beer s work provides a platform where he can explore the relationship between a variety of projects. Much remains ambiguous allowing the viewer to bring his or her own experience to the work. LEIF LOW-BEER [b. Toronto, Canada] Studied Visual Arts / Design and Visual Arts in 2003 and completed Philosophy and Visual Arts Degree from the University of Guelph. Has been awarded multiple residencies.

Low-beer lives and works in Brooklyn and Berlin. Jessie Makinson Jessie Makinson s paintings are filled with nostalgia and art historical references. She romanticises her figures, through the use of soft, curved lines and flourishes of pattern reminiscent of cuts of fabric, in order to explore issues surrounding femininity, cultural appropriation, and the relationship between art and fashion. Playful with colours and shapes, Makinson incorporates a plethora of subjects picked from history and her own subconscious. JESSIE MAKINSON [b. 1985, Camberwell] graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2007 with a BA in Drawing and Painting, she later attended The Royal Drawing School in Her works have been shown in solo and group shows including Captain Lightfoot Presents at The Glasshouse in Edinburgh, and Fake French at Roman Road, London. In 2013 she was awarded the Royal Drawing School s fully funded Moritz-Heyman Artists Residency in Tuscany. Makinson lives and works in London. 134

135 Kathryn Maple With a practise firmly rooted in drawing, Maple is obsessed with the possibilities of mark making and image-making. Her works combine areas of fine detail with those of minimalism, creating tapestries of paint and line that appear compact yet broadly simplistic. She holds a particular focus on areas in her surroundings that are in some way forgotten or neglected. Often, thesesccenes depict buildings surrounded and permeated by nature trees thrusting upwards behind wrought iron fences, dense foliage almost merging into brickwork. KATHRYN MAPLE [b, 1989, Canterbury] graduated from Prince s Drawing School s Postgraduate Programme in Before that, in 2011, she graduated from the University of Brighton with a BA in Fine Art Printmaking. With forthcoming shows at Highlanes Gallery, Drogheda, and Mall Galleries, London, she has previously shown at Fruit Salad Group Show, Mercer Chance Gallery, London, Drawings from the Royal Drawing School at Christies, New York, and Islands of the Blest at The Strand Gallery, London. She was the winner of the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition in Maple lives and works in London. Peter Matthews Through the simplicity of the works, Matthew s comments as much on performance and the conceptual as he does the two-dimensional picture plane. For these are drawings that are not really about drawing at all, but rather about man s inability to recapture the momentary sublime held in the vastness of nature, the bleak romanticism in the ocean as it consumes and intoxicates. Through extended hours (sometimes Matthews will abscond himself for up to 9 hours, adrift alone at sea,) Matthews is working in real time through a very direct approach and immediate relationship with the ocean, where it becomes evident that his process is so much less about draftsmanship or material and more about an idea connected to nature and personal spirituality: through the drawings, Matthews seeks to question and challenge the nature of the image as something that requires subject matter. He questions us, as to whether the drawing can capture an essence, a thought, a momentary fleeting feeling. For Matthews, there is an immediacy and connectivity in his practice that articulates something that even a painting cannot - for a painting is about production, and these drawings are not about the artist s studio or statement: they are about a place and moment in time. Most recently, he has begun pairing his works with videos which offer perhaps the most straightforward documentation of a practice defined by its very indefiniteness, its incalculability, and the presence of video may be more apt to contextualize something that drawing, even after hours and hours drifting in the ocean, may not be able to fully explain for his viewer. PETER MATTHEWS graduated with an MFA and BA Hons in Fine Art from the Nottingham Trent University. He has been included in numerous group exhibitions internationally and around the UK including: After Image: Contemporary Artists and Photography, Art House Productions Gallery, New Jersey, USA (2015), Power of the Sea, Royal West of England Academy, Bristol (2014), Appendage, Konnektor, Forum für Künste, Hannover, Germany (2014), The Experience of Time through Contemporary Art, North Carolina Museum of Art, North Carolina and Pratt Manhattan Gallery, New York, USA (2013); Sea Journeys, Künstlerhaus Dortmund, Germany (2013) and Glasklar Milchig, Forum Factory, Berlin, Germany (2013) His solo exhibitions include Continuum, James Cohan Gallery, New York, USA (2011) and Sea Marks, Mendes Wood DM, Sao Paulo, Brazil (2011). Following his artist residency at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in California in 2015, he had two solo shows at Scripps and the University California San Diego. Matthews was a finalist in the Francois Schneider Contemporary Talents competition in France in 2014, and last year was a shortlisted artist featuring on the Sky Arts programme Landscape Artist of the Year. In 2016 Matthews will show his work in the major touring and Arts Council funded exhibition Head Above Water which will travel from Plymouth and then around the UK. Matthews had his last solo exhibition with BEERS in June 2013, entitled, Surroundings and his second solo exhibition with BEERS took place in June Matt Maust Matt Maust s mixed media works are a chaotic layering of ideas, materials and colours. For Maust there is a deliberate blurring between art-making and life as he appropriates every part of his daily life in his at making process. MATT MAUST [b Los Angeles] graduated with a BFA from Biola University, CA. Selected solo exhibitions include: 1 Of These Days I m Gonna Do It, Paul Loya Gallery, LA (2016) and Turn or Burn, M23, New York (2016).
