Eve McGylnn‘s abstract expressive paintings explore colour relationships, combining muted tones with bright, artificial colours. Despite these contrasts, Eve’s paintings evoke serenity and harmony and exude a world of low-key emotions from which anger is absent. The underpaintings of Eve’s works comprise detailed drawings inspired by Renaissance art, which are then painted over, abstracted, deconstructed, and reconstructed. The finished paintings depict only the ghosts of these initial illustrations.
Faye Eleanor Woods is a Scottish artist currently working out of a home studio in West Yorkshire. Her work acts as a love letter to the much-loved establishment of the British pub.

Pushing the spatial limits of the canvas Faye creates otherworldly scenes with bright colours and raw emotion. Faye's work was featured in the Royal Scottish Academy's most recent New Contemporaries exhibition.
