Tracey Athay's intriguing wall pieces in various media are broadly figurative, but their predominant aim is to explore the sense of space around the figure: her figures often sit on their own within the work, free from other background details. Peter Colquitt's black and white lino-cut prints are definitively figurative, employing dramatic contrasts to highlight the deliberate, dynamic simplification of the human figure within the landscape. Jacob van der Beugel's subtle, tactile clay pots resonate with echoes of phenomena that occur in our natural environment.
