“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

Rachel started abstract painting during a period of ill health. Feeling imprisoned in her own body, the mind ‘hibernated’, and abstract art became the obvious form of self expression. Inspired partly by Japanese aesthetics and its unobtrusive beauty and simplicity, the painting process proved calming during those years of illness. Emerging delicately from an apparent simple block of colour are subtle textured details evoking fresh possibilities, becoming a space of potentiality and hope.

I am a printmaker based in Norfolk, working mostly in linoprinting & etching. I draw inspiration and solace from nature around me, particularly so through the lockdowns. In lockdown the open views from my home studio inspired a series of skies in all their glory, calm or wild. My images start with sketch before creating colour linocuts. I love using colour and the textures achieved with printmaking techniques.

The most-easterly creative/studio and gallery, Another Angle resides in the heart of the Lowestoft Cultural Quarter, surrounded by three Banksy Staycation artworks. Pop-art style philatelic, spray/graphic collage artist, Gary Hogben is lead for 2022; effusing dynamism and variety whilst readying for a yet-to-be-revealed exhibition in Italy, centring around themes of religion, sexuality, desire and fear (a vibrant mix of oils, metallics and acrylics stylised in a thought-provoking neo-realism). Work for sale from Miriam King (pen/ink, mixed media), Tim (Fair/Oteo) vibrant, abstracted sea/skyscapes (collage acrylic and spray paint). Private heritage collection of noted East Anglian artist and printmaker, John Reay (1947-2011).

Bungay-based, I am inspired by a love of the Waveney Valley as well as the uncompromising coastline at Covehithe and Dunwich on the Suffolk Coast. Painting in oils on canvas I also use natural materials such as sand in my work to capture the spirit of the landscape. Embracing the ‘happy accident’, I employ dripping, blotting and splashing of paint while retaining an element of traditional landscape painting. Studying for an MA Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts inspires me to experiment and contextualise my work, including investigating the manipulation of rust on metal in a ‘painterly’ manner.

My reliefs are based on the internal geometry of the rectangle as discussed in Charles Bouleau’s book ‘The Painter’s Secret Geometry’. However it is used to arrive at an abstract design, rather than to decide where to place eg the subject of an image. Colour theory also plays an important part.

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.

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. Using window light, each of her photographs can take many hours (or even days) to create. Shelley says “I only use the computer to do what I would have done in the darkroom when I used large format film photography. So what the viewer sees is a carefully constructed photograph with the available light being harnessed to enhance the subject”.

Gabriella studied Graphic Design and Illustration and Kingston Upon Thames and went on to work as a freelance illustrator and designer for 3 decades.

Andrew Florides is an award winning photographer and was named photographer of the year by Swedish camera makers, Hasselblad. During his time he has photographed royalty, muscians, models and Oscar-winning movie stars. From Photography to Photomontages: Photomontage is a form of collage composed of found or original photographs. First developed by Dada artists, photomontages seamlessly join photographic sources, creating uncanny images that reflect the free associations of the unconscious. Inspired by Dadaists and his work with Sir Anthony Hopkins, Andrew has created a unique and signature style, which his clients have dubbed “The reinvention of the portrait”.

Gary is a full-time artist specialising in creating artworks of iconic figures and contemporary portraiture. He has exhibited in Cambridge and London and sold works around the UK, to mainland Europe, the US, South Africa and China. He is fascinated by how our faces display our feelings, and how words share another, different, truth about ourselves. After serious illness he gave up his successful career, having worked around the world, to focus on his passion, creating art. He now creates art for exhibition and for shows, as well as taking commissions from individuals and companies. He has also been an artist in residence for the Cambridge Yoga Project, collaborating with dozens of yogis to create finished works representing them and their beliefs.

Deborah Pendell is a fine art photographer known for her creative digital imagery, incorporating painterly textures and digital mixed media into her work. “My interest in using textures and mixed digital media began many years ago when I was creating conceptual, fine art imagery for the book cover industry. A simple digital capture could be transformed into something ethereal and dreamy, or even contemporary abstract art and colourful pop art by working with textures and digital mixed media. Working with these has given me enormous creative freedom in my fine art work”.

Based in Suffolk, Karen Turner is a figure and portrait artist. With a particular focus on the physical body and the scrutiny to which it is commonly subjected, she works in oils and seeks to highlight pigments in the skin that can often go unnoticed, emphasising and exaggerating them to accentuate their extraordinariness. In May 2021 Karen was awarded the President’s Prize at the Institute of East Anglian Artists Open Exhibition. In June she was selected as a finalist in the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize, and in October she was shortlisted for the Women United Art Prize.

John Sparks is a self-taught figurative artist. John’s intimate and introspective works deal with themes of transformation and introspection. Primarily using oil on canvas board, he creates images with a sense of yearning that is almost darkly nostalgic. With the innate instinct of a great cinematographer, his muted and restrained colour palettes allow space for an inclination toward existential contemplation.

I am a contemporary artist and work from my studio in Suffolk. I have always had a passion for the landscape, which has evolved from the love of the outdoors, particularly the fells of the Lake District. Having always drawn and painted I am now exploring where this will take me. My inspiration has been drawn from various artists, originally enjoying collage and abstract, where early influences were the Cumbrian artist Russell Mills, who in turn was influenced by the German artist Kurt Schwithers.

Based in the Wotton-under-Edge, I became a professional artist following my selection for exhibitions in the Saatchi Gallery and Chelsea College of Arts, London, in 2017. My artwork comprises complex “mosaics” of hand-drawn triangles, painstakingly drafted and meticulously coloured.

I attended classes with the top fused glass tutors in the world. I teach small numbers in my studios and have assisted as a volunteer in a local weekly children’s art education programme.

Kay Barker’s artwork allows her to express her response to nature and the environment but also lets her work develop and take over from her initial direct response. In all of Kay’s work a very strong mood is created. This communicates a sense of atmosphere. On a practical level, her work is finely skilled, with a detailed knowledge of the processes that she is using. Kay has been practising as an artist for over 20 years exhibiting widely throughout Britain and abroad. Her work has been purchased by private and public collections and she is a prize winner in printmaking.

I am a self taught artist working mainly with acrylics on canvas. I paint comical animals in funny siuations using bright colours. I have exhibited at Art Fair East several times.

Chrissie Richards is a Brightlingsea based artist known for her innocent narrative figure paintings. She invites the viewer to take a peek into her world, to notice a moment captured in time and use their imagination to connect with the image and the narrative. Whilst her paintings may appear naive and childlike they provide an opportunity to slow down and take stock of the simple things in life. Her work has twice appeared at the SWA exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London, she was shortlisted for the Sir John Hurt Art Prize in 2021 and 2020 and won Best in Show award for the Gibberd Gallery Open Exhibition 2020.

I have painted all of my adult life but only had the opportunity to become a full-time artist in 2016. I am increasingly preoccupied with environmental impacts, large and small, on our flora and fauna and am using my art to highlight these issues. I’m currently working towards an autumn exhibition.

‘My first involvement is as a viewer sensing the creation of atmosphere by the patterns of light and dark. A recording of this atmosphere is taken via the use of camera and sketches. The framing and stilling of the scene at a particular moment is an important part of the creative process. I work with oils as a painting medium because of the feel it brings to the painting surface with its variety if thickness and colour.’

Born in London, Dawny studied ceramics at art college in Cornwall in the 90s, and now lives in Norfolk. Inspired and informed by her extensive knowledge of anatomy and anthropology, her sculptures are monolithic odes to the internal reaction of the physical experience. Depicting the body as an amorphous, caricatured embodiment of the traditional Greco-Roman ‘vessel’, she creates arresting and highly individualised pieces which cause audiences to linger in contemplation. She has exhibited across the UK and her work has travelled internationally as far as LA and Sydney.

A Yorkshireman, I studied Business Management in Cardiff and Fine Art in Sheffield.I have been a full-time painter since 2000 and I am told that my work, is vibrant and energetic. It involves a search for the rhythms of land and figure, a theme which I developed in my M.A. Fine Art course at Glyndwr University, N.Wales in 2011. Recent work also reflects the influence of the current virus pandemic. I have exhibited in galleries, at over 80 Art Fairs throughout the UK. and in 2016 I was accepted as member of Royal Cambrian Academy in Wales.

Alex Boardman studied art at Southend-on-Sea College of Technology and Norwich School of Art. Until the pandemic, had studied mainly the human figure. At present, instead, goes out each day to paint en plein air, the Cromer sea and shoreline. Paintings are executed swiftly, as the rapid change and movement of sky, sea and shore dictates. Alongside the painting, Alex picks up things from the street; items broken, forgotten, mislaid, discarded and abandoned. These items are collected and treasured.

Helen’s work is primarily engaged with drawing and the development of process. With an architectural background, an MA Drawing from Norwich and a draftsman skill, she references humans and human anatomy in her practice. Her interpretations do not always attempt to represent external reality, but, as in her anatomical expressive sculptures and prints, glimpses under the skin can bring an uncomfortable feelingof questioning existence.

As an artist for fifty years, mostly as an artist/weaver of very large public wall hangings, I have downsized to paintings of small objects painted very large. I have work in collections around the world.

Tom likes to paint the large skies that are seen over the beaches of Norfolk and Suffolk. In particular he likes to paint on big canvases which allow as much sky to be seen as possible, as well as showing the wide and beautiful beaches that stretch along the East Anglian coast. In recent years Tom has also developed smaller paintings looking at landscapes and figures, particularly those working on and around the sea and land. He has also painted cityscapes and views in towns, including New York, and has sold his work as far away as Australia. He still lives in Norfolk with his wife and family.
