Our annual exhibition is in its sixth iteration - "SEXY XMAS VI" This year with work by artists Nick Lowe, Celia Gullet, Ron Griffin, Philjames, Senon Williams, Lily Ramirez, Marika Thunder, Brittany Fanning, Caitlin Carney, Junta Egawa, Meris Drew, Andrew Orloski, Leonard Baby, Fay Sanders, Tess Michalik and Joey Cocciardi we consider the veneer and what is below, over and above. Like Christ on the Cross Brittany Fanning's paintings are morbidly sensual. Lily Ramirez brings dynamics to the everyday celebrating the beauty in the mundane. Fay Sanders reminds us of that girl in your high school soccer team who you sometimes wonder about who tormented you because she wanted to make out with you. Andrew Orloski manipulates the everyday object fooling the viewer's understanding of materials and themselves. Celia Gullet entices us with subtle veils of exquisite colour and form. Philjames's paintings elevate the heart beat. Nick Lowe titilates – a reminder that paint is sexy. Ron Griffin creates heart breaking visual poems. Marika Thunder paints a fairy tale with an ordinary and intriguing secret. Meris Drew lightly touches the surface of canvases with flashes of light that call your name. Junta Egawa's paint is perfection. Leonard Baby gives us glimpses of the next door neighbours Christmas dinner which we would prefer to be at. Senon Williams makes the disaster look enticing. Caitlin Carney brings the sunset into the gallery. Joey Cocciardi pushes and pulls the canvas with precision. Tess Michalik's paintings ask to be devoured. The works possess visceral surfaces- the materiality of the works is exciting. Subtly suggestive and waiting to explode!
