JIM GRUNDY
Jim Grundy’s acrylic paintings are inspired by the relationship between the colours and patterns found in the natural and built environment. The compositions are developed using mathematical processes including symmetry, reflection and rotation. The interaction between chance and control is a significant factor in the development of each work. The chance element is to allow the painting to evolve and build up layers instinctively, letting gravity dictate the flow in a similar way to the process of sedimentation. The control element involves precise preliminary drawings usually mapped out on graph paper then projected and transferred onto the paint surface. In time the balance between the colour intensity, shape, size and texture of each element crystallises.
MILES TAKES
Miles Takes is a multi-disciplined Visual Artist and Designer based in South East England.
His bold geometric abstract works are reminiscent of the beauty of the natural world, the evocative works tell stories of distant memories through form and colour. As a Designer he has worked across multiple disciplines from designing textiles for luxury fashion brands to album covers for critically acclaimed musicians.
CHRISTINE TERRES
Based in Ireland, artist Christine Terres has been working with the medium of photography for over 15 years. With a background in architectural, landscape and geotechnical graphics, her work is grounded in the exploration and manipulation of natural and manmade subjects. She has a particular interest in harnessing patterns from both micro and macro perspectives.
Christine's recent series include: The Architecture of Faith, an examination of churches in Europe; Structures of Play, an exploration of architectural details from her travels; Through the Microscope, a series abstracting the idiosyncrasies of flowers and floral arrangements; Cityscapes, silhouettes brought to life through sunrise or sunset; and Botanicals, a focus on the elegance of flowers.

STELLA ZUEGEL
Contemporary geometric artist Stella Zuegel creates unique art using both watercolour on paper, and acrylic and oil paint on canvas. Each piece is painted free hand and takes between 3-24 months to complete.
In her work, Stella plays with shapes and colours to create depth, dimension and cohesion. These curate a journey of free-flowing exploration through individual shapes, larger patterns and the composition as a whole for the audience.
Stella’s work is inspired both by the poignant stories and emotions of herself and the people she meets and by an organic curiosity towards the very nature of self and the universe. Her work is thus a geometric representation of her inner path to discover the essence of her being and her journey towards understanding the world and its people, whilst also being a colourful expression of human experience and emotion.
Geometry and colour are sub-consciously joined in Stella’s process. The resulting oneness and interplay of both deliver a fresh and unique yet intrinsically timeless and human experience of perspective and perception for her audience to explore and enjoy.
Stella’s work naturally aligns to both the contemporary geometric art of the West and the ancient spiritual geometric art of the East.
