Jamie Gray Williams
About the Artist

Jamie Gray Williams works mainly in large format oil and acrylic paintings that announce themselves firmly and unapologetically to the viewer. They are vivid, brash and delightful; wonderfully boisterous intrusions on the kind of marketable, sterile calm that dominates our lives. If paintings had perceptible volume, Jamie’s would be loud. On the contrary her work is not without moments of elegance, characterised by a distinct sense of movement, of flowing dynamics, that in one sense creates a chaotic point of tension. How long until this figure gives way? How long until it all collapses? In another, it’s an evocative expression of atmosphere and an indescribable wistfulness that stirs the senses in a totally different way.

The link between kinetic chaos and expressive fluidity can be traced back to the origins of Jamie’s work, which centres around intuitive, automatic drawing. In a single sitting she can produce dozens of sketches, some bursting the confinement of their own space and informing the roots of the next. During this process she says her figures “discover themselves”, an evocative statement that leans into the rather magical idea that they have autonomy and personality a long time before we see them in a gallery space.

The sketches are eventually transferred to the canvas, washes of colour eke out space, and place, and the application of fine details carve out circumstance, emotion and comedy, which plays an important part in the work. It runs parallel to her investigations into the psychology of our physicality, and our experiences existing with and within our bodies. We are encouraged to let go of the questions and concerns we have about our corporeal selves, instead seeking amused wonder at who and what we are, and our unescapable absurdity.

Nicolas Coleman
About the Artist

Nicolas Coleman paints scenes that share with viewers a visual travelogue, snippets of truthful, personal narratives and an indulgence of fantasy that applies a sense of romanticism to real world situations. The elements that form a painting are largely down to his own curation—the experiences he places value on, how they are remembered and what particular characteristics form the basis of his inspirations, and aspirations.

His painting process is informal and intuitive, working with oil paints to conjure detail in every part of the canvas, encouraging the viewer to inspect subject and environment as equal components. There is an idealised proclamation of richness and vividity, celebrating the discovery of culture and place, but his paintings conceal contrasting depths. He is concerned with the psychology of geography and travel, how the nature of a person’s surroundings can influence their emotions, sensations and ideas of who they are. We agree to explore and question our own responses to such situations, how the wonder and enchantment of travel can enable us to forget, for a few moments at least, the strains of our lives. We are found wondering to what extent, even in the most idyllic of places, we can truly let go of who we are, and what we bring with us.

The exploration of more challenging themes forms the basis of Nicolas’ time on the Black Rock residency in Dakar, Senegal. The work produced here rests on his personal history as a black American raised in the southern United States. His artistic response conveys valuable insight into the relationships he makes between his process and the resonances of the spaces around him: his palette is informed by the visual identity of Senegal, communicating clearly the schismatic turmoil between cultures that has continued throughout history and unfolded in the life of the artist.
