Minus 1 : New Paintings


The Crypt Gallery, St Martin-in-the-Fields
Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 4JJ

Monday 2 April - Sunday 8 April 2012

This diverse group of London-based painters present a new and vibrant collection of contemporary abstract and figurative work, beautifully offset by the ancient brick walls of the atmospheric gallery in the crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Deborah Burnstone
Anonymous stretches of roads, motorways and places at the edges of the urban landscape are the starting point for many of Deborah Burnstone's paintings. As the paintings develop, texture, colour and the physicality of paint become increasingly important.

Elma Masaitiene
Elma’s recent work explores imaginary landscape – a world of unearthly beauty and freedom. In her Paradise Garden the animals are free and the colours an expression of the spiritual world. 







Annie Price
Based on memory and musicality, Annie's paintings are inspired by landscape, mainly the Yorkshire Dales and Scotland.



Christine Roche
Her paintings are a personal diary in mixed media.







Robert Silcock
Robert’s arresting paintings are re-workings of found images into which he introduces ambiguity and uncertainty.
Frances Steele
Explores the melancholic and dreamlike land and seascape of wild Britain.






Hazel Turvey
A recurrent theme of these paintings is that of ancient standing stones: they have intrigued us through the centuries generating speculation and myth about their origins.


Chris Shurety
Paints vigorous and exciting expressive abstracts (image to follow).
