Alek in Profile

By emma rach-syslak

Oil on panel

h: 23 w: 31 d: 1 (cms).

As a portrait artist, I am captivated by people and their presence. Painting a person is more than rendering their physical features, it is about capturing that intangible essence that defines them. Bold and unique, I was inspired by Alek beyond her beauty. She is a proud Sudanese woman who exudes authenticity and confidence. This painting is meant to capture her strength and radiance, to portray a feeling of empowerment and strong sense of self. For me, Alek represents the quintessential qualities of women necessary to break down barriers and contribute to a more equitable and progressive world. Her portrait is meant to inspire women to be their unapologetic authentic selves. It is also a tribute to my mother who raised me on her own, worked full-time, and recently survived breast cancer. The strength and resilience of these women inspire me to embrace my own power and use my creative voice to illuminate the path for others to do the same.

They Soon Saw They Have Something in Common

By thérèse cooper

Lino print and watercolour

h: 22 w: 22 d: 1 (cms).

My preoccupation is with the individual in a mass produced world. The figures are wearing printed identical Little Black Dresses whilst the figure is freely drawn in watercolour and float mounted side by side onto a shared board. Because each figure is an individual each image in the edition will all be different but all wearing the same Little Black Dress.

Work on papers

By janet lynch

Mixed and collage

h: 210 w: 210 d: 1 (cms).

Part of a series of work about woman's position in our world where decisions made by leaders ignore the collateral damage . Women pick up the pieces of these decisions made by others . For them giving birth , nourishing children , save ing them from unimaginable harm is their nearly impossible daily task . From the beginning of the ' civilised ' world through The War in Syria through to war between Israel and Hamas . Did you notice how clean the saucepans are with the crowds waiting for food handouts in Gaza ? Guess who cleaned those saucepans probably with their hands and sand from the ground ?

Lets Dance

By paula mitchell

Oil

h: 60 w: 44 d: 1 (cms).

Let’s Dance - I have always enjoyed listening to and experiencing live music. To form a small part of a large crowd of people all enjoying unique moments is an experience I love and what inspired me to create this work. Several elements of the painting are influenced by the lasting memory of the evening; the blue glow, light from mobile phones recording and the glorious orange sunset sky. Every year I go to my local music festival that takes place on the beachside common in Portsmouth. The seaside location of this festival offers something particularly special to the atmosphere on what is usually a warm August bank holiday weekend. The Castle stage featured in this painting is flanked by the raised grass bank that runs up to meet the edge of Southsea Castle. On the other side and just visible is the Solent which is a busy tidal waterway. We are a stone’s throw from the seaside and there is usually an onshore breeze blowing across the crowd. This work depicts my experience with thousands of other festival goers when Nile Rogers and his ‘Chic’ backing singers played along to the vocal of David Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’.

The Early Bird

By paula mitchell

Oil

h: 30 w: 30 d: 1 (cms).

'The Early Bird' - Chichester Harbour is a short distance from my home and a place I like to paint. I am an early riser so I like to be in a position ready to paint as close to 7am as I can. This location at this time of day is a peaceful place with only a few walkers, harbour workers and me. The plein air reference for this work began early doors when the tide was out. I walked down the side of the jetty and stood on the mud. I decided to have a go at two boats positioned with the backdrop of the harbour entrance in the distance. The light was still low, coming in from the left, so there were nice highlights on the boat in the foreground with almost full light on the one farther away. These boats would anchor each side of the painting as they were leaning in towards each other. They were stuck in the mud, so my working title at that moment was ‘At Ease’. As I was close to finishing my painting, a man dressed in full waders with a bucket walked past me, down to the edge of the water. I was sure he was collecting bait for fishing and so shortly after, he walked back up the beach in front of me. As he returned, I grabbed my sketch book to create some marks and also points of reference to where he stood in relation to the horizon line and the two boats in my work. I was also able to take a reference shot for details I could use later. When this painting began it was about two boats waiting for the water to return so they may float again. The moment I saw the man walking with his bucket back up the beach, the story of this work changed. I was a female plein air painter, out early to capture the scene with my paint. He was out early while the shoreline was exposed, getting bait for fishing. This work was finally entitled ‘The Early Bird’ as in the end, it turned out to be a story about both him and I being out early doors going about our days, me painting and him collecting bait.
