About the artists:
Temsu,
an international artist from Nagaland, came to the Royal
College of Art in 2000 to complete an MA. He is a recipient
of multiple
scholarships and awards, including
Associate Membership to theRoyal Society of Painter/Print makers at the Bankside
Gallery,
London, and Artist in Residence at Cite International Des Arts,
Paris
and The Fondzione Pistoletto, Italy. Temsu
uses a wide range of
media from traditional printmaking through to computer animation
to realize concepts which attempt to connect Eastern and Western
viewpoints.
Melanie, "In my work I explore the power
between colour, light energy and emotion, shooting abstract images of strong
colour and contrast involving some element of movement or suspension in time and
space aiming to create a dream like landscape". Melanie is a multi
disciplinary artist who is also a photographer, film maker and art
educator. Melanie will be presenting works from her Arctic trip, pursuing
to capture the northern lights... and so much more.
Bula
is an award winning printmaker, art tutor and gallery director. Her
images exist within a universal dimension that is accessible to all, they are
not time or space bound. “The image serves two purposes in human
culture. Firstly, it articulates our own life of feelings so that we
become conscious of it’s intricate and subtle fabric. Secondly, it shows
that the basic forms of feelings are common to most people... at least
within a culture often far beyond it”.
Jasmine
has devised an automated gravity fed machine that produces formula based
paintings that are constructed from one singular line of paint. By
mechanical intervention ,the artist eliminates inherent unknowns enabling her to
produce the controlled abstract. As a result of Pradissittos’ scientific
and methodical approach, her finished works are predictable but always evolving;
unravelling themselves with each swing of the pendulum. Her process is a
confluence of science and art; numbers and mathematics, analogous to imagery and
metaphor.
Three of Kim’s 12 artists alter egos have
presented their works in this exhibition to reflect their true “state of
flux”.
Alexis’s piece explores our frailty and our
relation to each other and our world for we are as vulnerable as matchsticks
too. Alexis has exhibited her work widely and won many prizes.
Artists will present slide shows, films and talks for the Portland Arts
Festival 3.00 - 7.00pm, and there may be live performance at late
afternoon/evening. Entry to flux: summer show 2008 is free, and don’t forget to try out Pepperton's much
