'In these paintings colour is both subject and object, their heavy masses of paint swiped, dabbed, pushed or drawn across the canvas surface.... In a body of work spanning decades, Bogart has created sensual, organic paintings that sit somewhere between painting and sculpture: a fusion of colour, gesture and structure which breaks with pictorial tradition.'

The process:

'Artist-Vandal, Nicolas Daubanes finds in the plastic precarious of his work a way to upset the power and authority of his subject. The drawing is not in proper drawing but rather laid, suspended from the paper, held by the only force of attraction of a magnetic surface. The pattern is first cut into a magnetic sheet, then placed on a metal plate and covered with white paper. The iron filings is then distributed to its surface and fixed by magnetization by mechanical marrying the form of the pattern. The weak balance of the material has the effect of making the drawing potentially ephemeral, itself trapped in a visibly fallible device, which cannot afford a second of release. The obvious non-durability of the building is supported by the irregularities of the line, which reveal more blurred surfaces, in a rendering close to an old postcard. The threatening impression left by the first sight then succeeds the feeling of an almost touching vulnerability to these buildings of the past, about to collapse.'

Emerging artist, Mark Jones' exhibition explores the contemporary culture of underground graffiti artists utilising various traditional medias including photography, sculpture, collage and installation.

The found objects had an interesting effect in a gallery context, raising the perception of the discarded, forgotten and useless.

 Image_ Object, examines the relationship between the visual and the physical in non-objective works. Most artworks, it can be argued, are fusions of imagery and objecthood. This exhibition reveals an increasing emphasis upon texture and surface qualities. The predilection for large areas of undifferentiated or barely fluctuating colour, the exploitation of the edge, of the shaped or moulded support, and the physical juxtaposition of disparate or borrowed elements.
