In:quietude is a collective led by artists Laura Beardsell-Moore and Deborah Burrow. Their work explores the natural world and the fine balance between the peace and serenity it can offer people (quietude) and the disturbance and destruction that people have on it (inquietude). It is this fragile, ambiguous relationship and the sense of transience and impermanence in the world around us that drives the artists' desire to capture what they experience in their paintings. Their paintings explore seasons, rhythm, growth and temporality and they hope their paintings will encourage people to connect more deeply with the natural world.

"Very clever and beautiful." BBC News "Blurring the boundaries of painting and sculpture." The Guardian "Teather's works frequently wrenches us back and forth through time and style; As we are shifted between romanticism and classicism we are left entranced, entertained and certainly captivated by the uncertainties." Neil Powell, Academic/ Curator

Norwich based award winning artist and curator. Working mainly as a painter but also producing 3D site specific pieces. Brian paints with the aim of capturing the moment. Working both plein air and in the studio his work is varied in style and approach but their is an exploratory thread that unites his work into a cohesive body.

Emily Faludy is a landscape painter in oils, making work primarily ‘plein air’ (‘from life’) as this allows her to transfer something of the energy and immediacy of responding directly to the subject. Her work is full of light and life, mirroring the ever-changing conditions of working outdoors.

Lucy Loveheart was brought up in a creative household. Her father was an artist and encouraged her to draw and paint from a early age while her mother loved making up fairy tales and reading stories, introducing her to enchanted worlds. As a girl she loved daydreaming and she lived in a world of the imagination. Her connection to childhood memories and worlds of make-believe are still very present in what she is trying to achieve today.

The observable relationship between gravity, ink, paper and nature features in Kimberly's new fluid series. Delicate forms in large-scale compositions are produced by the spontaneity of poured ink and mica on canvas and paper. The pull of gravity is used to carefully control the layers in her paintings; brushwork is rarely used. Each piece has several veils of colour that blend directly on the substrate to create a collision of unexpected hues. Kimberly’s work resides in a surprising area where Art, Chemistry and Physics meet and overlap.

Born in Bath, and being brought up in this historical City, the buildings and the local canal walks gave me the inspiration for architecture and reflections. Living locally and having spent several years living in Germany, travelling extensively throughout Europe, drawing inspiration from the countries, cities, towns and villages I visited. I have held exhibitions both locally in Southwold and Walberswick, as well as on the continent in Mainland Europe. I believe in perspective. This I feel gives my paintings a depth and feel. I believe that my paintings give a sense that you can walk into them.

“My passion is still life painting, not the organised tableau but the overlooked ornament or the forgotten keepsake. Using vibrant colours and a spotlight I like to make these objects the centre of attention once more.” Edward is a talented young artist in Norfolk. He was awarded distinctions in fine art and 3D spatial art in Norwich. He loves to paint still life pictures of ceramic and coloured glass, detailing the reflection and refraction of the light and the myriad of colours that be come apparent. In the last two years he has exhibited at art fairs across the UK.

Ann and Bradley Holland work and reside in France. Their daughter Naomi Munuo is a Suffolk based artist. It is interesting to observe a family connection realised visually through their work; Naomi’s figurative mixed media drawing, painting and printmaking is influenced by her father’s sculpture, examples of which often form part of her still life scenes and also shows the influence of the bold use of colour in her mother’s abstract painting. This all combines to form a varied and vibrant body of work in both modernist and abstract traditions.

Gabriella's professional career as an illustrator began in the early 1990s after graduating from Kingston in Surrey with a degree in Graphic Design. Since then she has always maintained a painting practice.

HEARTIST - The idea of bringing Hungarian and European artwork into the UK came when I visited a gallery in Budapest, Hungary. This opened my eyes to Hungary’s vibrant, exciting and talented art scene. These emerging and established artists should be seen by a wider audience. Our team is growing all the time. Artists are interested in this opportunity to show their artwork in the UK. These artists are known in their own wider communities, exhibiting regularly. Our aim is to find and promote new Hungarian and European artists and their artwork in the UK.

I have a wonderful condition by the name of Obsessive Creative Disorder, fuelled by the wonders of nature and wildlife. Replicating the exquisite beauty within nature is something that cannot be done. However, when I attempt to portray it by putting paint to paper, something ignites within me – I have found my muse. I want to inspire people through my art to go out and reconnect with the beauty of nature. The wildlife that lives on our doorsteps needs to be celebrated, before it’s too late.

I am a person who likes to explore all forms of art using a variety of mediums. I mainly use acrylic paints with a variety of other mediums. The beauty and colour of nature encapsulates everything I strive for and always leaves me feeling bereft but forever striving. As in life.

I use a variety of techniques but recently have concentrated on lino-cuts & etchings. My images usually start with a sketch and I like the print to evolve as I create it - not working out too much detail in advance, but using my many years of experience to let the image develop in the direction it happens to take me at that particular time.

For me art is more of a heart matter than brain. I paint when I feel like painting, free of any compulsion which is clearly reflected in my diverse works. My paintings are mostly inspired by wild wandering thoughts but unintentionally societal happenings, literature, nature and beliefs may inspire some works. Art for me is freedom. It’s like a journey within. Most of my works can be categorized as abstracts. Medium is acrylics on canvas.

Peddy Pot is a graphic artist from Tokyo, Japan. He currently spends his time working between Southeast and East Asia.

A former art teacher, I have recently obtained an MA in Fine Art and now pursue my own art practice. Starting from observational drawings onsite,I then paint almost from memory recalling the sights,sounds and feelings of being within a place and time. The materiality of the paint quickly takes over, allowing the resulting image to be multi-sensual and impressionistic rather than merely representational. I like to explore coastlines, geology and unusual places sometimes adding figures to the landscape to suggest an ambiguity. The viewer is thereby encouraged to interpret aspects which may differ from those I see in my travels.

My work, predominantly in acrylic and representational, aims to reflect the wildlife and nature of the Broadland Area. I enjoy attempting to capture mood or movement within a piece. The Studio also stocks quality pieces by a number of well known Norfolk artists and photographers including members of the NNAC, Natural World Art Society and the IEA.

I was born in Moscow, USSR and graduated from the Physics Department of Moscow University. I had a scientific career in the Academy of Sciences, USSR, in Europe and in the UK. It was great to discover the secrets of nature, not easy but very inspiring! Apart from my interest in science as long as I can remember I have been interested in arts. Being a scientist requires imagination and creativity, which helps to get a step into world of art. I am greatly inspired by the new opportunities brought into visual arts by digital media. In particularly what works for me is a possibility of combining digital painting and photography. In combination with fine art archival Giclee printing it gives a new approach to the world of visual arts, produces a new art media. Art creating process for me is mindfulness, I hope it comes across in my pictures. My pictures and picture portfolios have been published in several books and magazines.

Tanya graduated from Moscow State University of Arts and Design and subsequently worked for 4 years as a stage and costume designer for Moscow theatres.

Mary Gilonne, an award winning and widely published poet , has teamed up with local photographer Peter Norton to present a new interpretation of the East Asian tradition of the poem-picture.

Siris Hill’s work visually describes the effects that mental health and psychological conditions have on an individual. His practice reflects his own realities of living with mental illness and investigates the social obstructions and the loss of identity his illness presents. Siris battles multiple physical and mental health problems meaning he is unable to use oil paints due to the fumes. To combat this, he has studied digital painting alongside the techniques of 17th-century artists to transfer traditional techniques over into the digital medium in an attempt to paint as similar in technique to the oil painters of which he admires.

Based in East Suffolk, Shelley's growing reputation for her still life photographs comes from her interpretation of the traditional genre but incorporating modern day technology. She is an exponent of slow photography. Using window light, each of her photographs can take many hours (or even days) to create. The natural light gives them a greater depth and exceptional colour. "I only use the computer to do what I would have done in the darkroom when I used to use film. So what the viewer sees is a carefully constructed photograph with window light being harnessed to enhance the subject, often with the symbolism of the Dutch Masters. Although I now use digital photography I bring the practice and ethos I used when behind a large format film camera". Collectors of her work span the globe often mixing her photographs with still life paintings. This is her second visit to Art Fair East after a very successful show last year.

Sarah gained her BA Honours degree in Fine Art (with Painting specialism) in 1986 at Manchester Metropolitan University. In 2008 she gained a Masters degree in The History of Art and Design at Birmingham University. She has lived and worked in the UK as well as in Greece, Spain, Russia and China. She was first inspired to paint on ceramic during her four years of living in China. Sarah has work in galleries and private collections both in the UK and abroad. "My aim is to bring the painterly touch of the brush to the quiet stillness of clay. Inspired by the loose and succinct quality of Chinese painting, as well as by the wild North Pennine landscape in which I live, I experiment with different effects of layering, mark-making and colour diffusion on and within a variety of ceramic forms. I hope to communicate a sense of place; not a literal one; but one that conjures up an atmosphere or a feeling. Painting with the glazes becomes intuitive, so that the end result lies somewhere between figurative detail and abstraction."

Graduating with a 1st Class honours degree in Textiles, Amy Elizabeth works from her studio in West London. Amy has an extreme passion for colour and texture and focuses on creating embroidery art that combines conventional and non conventional materials. The most current collection of artworks takes inspiration from coral reefs. Her fascination with watching and studying her home marine tank is where her current project began. By combining this with her personal experience of deep sea diving in Thailand, she uses this first hand research to recreate the depth, growth, texture and movement of the corals through 3 dimensional embroidery.

I am a Wild Life Sculptor with a passion for portraying the beauty of Wild Life . I have lived in Norfolk for the past 50 Years and as a young man I brought with me the talent and dedication to my art which I pursue to this day. I am a British Citizen and originally come from Peru a country blessed with one of the richest flora and fauna on the planet and as such I feel I have been touched by it.

" I am dedicated to the natural world... This has become more apparent for me over the past few years, and along with my strong horticultural links, my work tries to highlight the details of nature that seems so often over looked in this modern age. The collecting of natural finds is key to my visual work. the resulting images come about from the influences of the place where these objects are found , the colours around me at the time , the forms the memories evoke. Working in tune with the seasons is particularly important, and my subjects often change with those natural finds available at the time of year present ...I have a deep love of nature and fear how much of our natural world we are losing... I have found a way to make art that feels authentic to those beliefs ."

I am a self taught artist working mainly with acrylics on canvas. I like to make people smile by putting comedy into my art. I use bright colours and simple backgrounds to enable the animals to take centre stage. This is the third time I have exhibited at Art Fair East.

John Sparks is a self-taught oil painter, based in Norwich. John's paintings have been the subject of numerous national and international group exhibitions. Inspired by his travels, he paints atmospheric scenes depicting modern life in a classical way. Inspired by the American realists, Sparks seeks to expose the inner vitality of his subjects.

I am a former professor of history and as such was the author of numerous academic books. On retirement I took first to journalism (mainly for the TLS), then to autobiography (How it Was), and then to children's verse (There Were Dinosaurs Everywhere). I had given up artwork at the age of 16, but took it up again, initially for the purpose of illustrating my publications. This taught me computer skills which I subsequently used to produce greeting cards, of which I currently sell some 3,000 a. year. Producing large pictures was the obvious next step. This I took some 8 years ago. My ambition is to become the British equivalent of America's Grandma Mose who also began displaying her art at the age of 78.

I am an oil painter with a passion for plein air. I have adapted techniques learnt during two years of classical art training to fit the immediacy needed to capture a scene on location. In the studio I work on Still life set ups, often floral in nature. With these there is more time and less distraction than out in the field. But I still like to work in the same alla prima style. Recently I have started to experiment with enlarging and recomposing plein air studies into larger works of art.

A Yorkshireman, I have lived in North Wales since 1985. Although my artwork does not refer to specific places it endeavours to express the drama and lyricism of my environment. I am told my work is vibrant and energetic. I still run every other day and am essentially concerned with the relationship of the figure to the land. I developed this theme in my M.A. Studies in 2011. I was elected to the Royal Cambrian Academy in 2016. I have exhibited in many solo and mixed shows throughout UK and in over 80 art fairs including Norwich last year.

I have been painting since I was 14-15 years old. I paint on a regular basis, every day or so. I prefer to paint large paintings in oil and oil that I mix with acrylic so they will separate when being painted. I love to mix and experiment with colours but prefer to paint in clear colours such as blue, red as a base colour, and add some pink or red in the blue, or blue and orange in the red painting. Mostly I paint in oil on canvas. I use different tools to apply layer of layer of paint, like a spatula or a large putty knife. I paint a lot of bulls and different faces that express some kind of emotion and integrity.

I focus on creating work with fine detail, mainly using ink, to depict the complex beauty of life. Inspired by nature on all levels from microscopic images in my Abstracts, powerful wildlife studies, the beauty and strength of the human face to wild Landscapes.
