His paintings often comment on the notion of medium specificty, where the core idea or theme of the piece is dependant on the material process. This idea also extends to the method of application and tools used in order to dictate a certain kind of motion or process that echoes the subject found in nature.

Tom French (b.1982, UK) The works of UK based artist Tom French are predominantly figurative. He carefully combines detailed photorealism with strong elements of abstraction and surrealism, focusing on the reflection of the conscious and subconscious mind. French’s work often treads the fine line between the beautiful and unsettling, combining technically tight, classical charcoal drawings with carefree, loose and ostensibly unfinished abstract forms. By fusing the technical with lively abstraction French brings life and movement to his compositions. His work seamlessly merges the use of academic tradition with contemporary urban realism.

Caleb Brown (b.1981, USA) - Shark Drop. Oil on Canvas (2009-2010) New York based artist Caleb Brown was born in Washington State where he was raised and started drawing and painting at a very young age. His paintings are cultural allegories that aim to reflect his view of the modern world. He combines themes and elements of contemporary life (such as media culture, genetic engineering, globalization, etc.) and expands into completely ridiculous scenes that depict a fictitious near-future or alternate reality. Brown’s hope is that by employing this editorial and often satirical method of expression, rather than using a more journalistic approach, he might communicate his observations and feelings about our modern existence more aptly than by painting actual images of contemporary life. Great thanks to the artist for sending this over. [more Caleb Brown] Caleb Brown (b.1981, USA) - Shark Drop.

Mark Chadwick (UK) - Abstract Fluid Painting. Acrylic on canvas The British artist Mark Chadwick’s art practice is concerned by the use of machines in the production of an artwork. With our culture becoming more and more engaged with new technologies, Mark’s work questions the implications of handing over control of an artwork to a mechanical device. Through experimentation with using a number of crude technological devices and minimising his interaction with the decision making process. Mark’s work investigates the status of the artist and what the artwork actually is. With the actions of any machine the result of human intention, Mark uses machines to allow chance to enter the creative process, exploring ideas surrounding authorship, consciousness and interaction.  [more Mark Chadwick | found at darksilenceinsuburbia & The Lloyd Gill Gallery] Mark Chadwick (UK) - Abstract Fluid Painting.
