Their innovative approaches and highly individual responses to ‘Location’ are anything but cliched and ensure this exhibition will hold interest for all lovers of Cambridge, residents, and visitors alike. Explore our collection, and scratch that itch for adventure with an original piece of work from Byard Art
Sarah Bowman “I never begin a painting knowing exactly how it will end up. They start with the landscape and the windowsill or the table and the rest emerges later, the objects placed last, perhaps a curtain will slip in at the side as if a breeze floated in. Each element of the composition is a reaction to the last thing painted. I like to work on at a few paintings at a time so that they stay fresh.” Sarah’s award winning work has been linked to the St Ives School, like the early to mid-20th century movement, she certainly finds her inspiration from the coast. However, equally important to her development was a trip to Tuscany in her late teens to see the Rennaissance fresco paintings. Her use of windows framing a view is heavily influenced by Rennaissance trompe l’oeil. Even her tonal values, the gentle muted palette occasionally illuminated by a flash of rather post-Rennaissance electric pink, purple or blue reflect this influence.

Ewan David Eason Ewan David Eason is a printmaker whose passion for Paul Cezanne’s use of primary colours brings him to investigate the interplay of contrasting colours and the concept of contrast itself. While studying at Bath Spa University he continued to explore these ideas through sculptures, paintings, videos and prints. His Mappa Mundi prints portray a contemporary visualisation of today’s cities in juxtaposition to their medieval namesake. With high levels of accuracy and dedication, these prints emphasise their status as a method of art-as-documentation. The context of these works represents a snapshot of our ever-changing landscape that could potentially be completely re-written in as little as a decade.

Ana Kapor Following her father’s footsteps, Ana started to paint very young. Her art can be connected to the early Italian Renaissance tradition, and also has a strong metaphysical influence. After graduating from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, Ana started collaborating with some important Italian galleries. She had her first personal exhibition in Rome in 1987 at the Polittico Gallery, after which she started a collaboration with galleries in Milan, Brescia, Turin, Florence, Capri, and Bologna. In 2011 she was invited to participate at the Venice Biennale. During her career Ana has won numerous prizes and her works are present in museums and private collections all over the world.

Maureen Mace Maureen Mace lives in Cambridge where she spends her time painting and teaching art to small groups in her studio. Cambridge is a huge influence in her work. She loves the beautiful, historic city with its wide, open spaces, great architectural buildings, old university traditions and, of course, its cows. Maureen adds into her works the rich night skies, shining moons, and her taste for Medieval Art to form the basis for these intricate, dream-like paintings. Maureen studied visual communication and worked for several years as a graphic artist and illustrator before qualifying rather late in life as an art teacher. Her early professional background still influences her work and she gets carried away with intricate detail using brushes that are far too small to delve into her whimsical, almost magical-realist world.

Betty Pepper Betty Pepper makes her work from found materials; discarded books, old fabrics, forgotten papers. She breathes life and magic into these objects, creating fantastical and miniscule worlds populated with tiny animate houses and filled with their stories. In the artist’s own words, her houses “…stand in their own little landscape telling their tale. Some are argumentative, some are sad, some are jubilant, many are simply lost. They all have a story to tell and they are hardly ever shy of talking back. The one thing they all have in common is that they are all living on the edge in some way as I think most of us do…” Betty has exhibited her charming work in many galleries across the UK as well as internationally in Denmark, Munich, Italy and the Netherlands.

Caroline Richmond Caroline Richmond’s paintings are optimistic portrayals of the wonderful skies and endless beaches of North Norfolk. More often than not they depict the idealistic image of a couple alone. Her style evokes romance as well as a sense of space and freedom, open elements and seemingly endless days on wonderful beaches. Caroline studied at the Nene College of Art in the late 1970’s and has since exhibited in Lincolnshire, the Thames Valley, Kent, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge. She works with different media and various subjects, from figurative studies, animals and abstraction through to her great passion for the sea and sky.

Claire Turner Claire Turner was born in 1950 and studied Art and Education at Goldsmith’s College, London, specialising in Silkscreen Painting. She works with a variety of textile techniques constructing pictures using selected fabrics, which she then draws, paints and stitches on to. Her resulting pictures are highly atmospheric and colourful depictions of architecture and cityscapes. The city of Cambridge and it’s variety of buildings are a particular source of inspiration for the artist. Claire has taken commissions for private clients of places in the UK, Spain and Greece. Byard Art have represented her work since 2007.

Chris Williamson Originally a qualified illustrator and trained graphic designer, Chris now paints full time from his studio in Bedfordshire. Often described as ‘whimsical’, his work usually involves an atmospheric landscape, populated with characters such as gaunt and grumpy ‘Garfield’, along with his faithful Jack Russell – ‘Barton Darcy’. (It is worth noting that Garfield has recently been joined by a female companion ‘Babs’, and her friendly Border Collie). Virtually all of his work is accompanied by a humorous ‘dittie’ – a four line poem about the world as Darcy sees it. “I like to give people a grin if I can” Chris said. The poems themselves evolve from the annotations of his initial sketches, which he then uses to paint the scene using oil on gessoed panels back in his workroom. Chris sites cartoonists such as Paul Sample and Gray Jolliffe as having an early influence on his work, (although he admits you can’t see much of it now). More recently perhaps, Gary Bunt and Sam Toft.
