Uncertainty No.2
Mixed media on canvas
50cm x 40cm
Price Guide £350
Uncertainty No.2 by John Maxwell Steele
Light is frequently shadowy, shifting and fluid. A coming together and a pulling apart, a rising and a falling of relationships, these brief moments of clarity and compromise when sea becomes land, or land becomes sky.

Pyramid
Acrylic on board
37cm x 51cm
Guide Price £400 Inverse by Dermot Punnett

The pyramid is a very loaded symbol, it suggests ideas such as power, authority, mans beliefs in progress, and his dominion over nature. ‘Inverse’ suggests that primordial, elemental power of nature which man is at the mercy of, and cannot transcend. Civilizations usually collapse through exhausting their natural resources and not recognising their inter relationship with their environment. ‘Inverse’ is really a questioning of mans belief that he is in any way superior or ‘special’, exempt from laws of inter relationship which apply to the rest of creation.

And The Land Died Slowly
Acrylic on board
47.5cm x 41cm
Price Guide £100

And the Land Dies Slowly by Richard Simkins

I like to work on a variety of subjects, in a variety of styles; the key is that the subject and style excite and challenge me.
‘And the Land Died Slowly’ depicts an autumn wood but with the sky suggesting that perhaps something more sinister is at work!

No 4 Dance Series by Ann StokerMy work explores the expressive and creative language of contemporary dance.
