Green (Yong Woon Park) makes dynamic large scale paintings, working with unmixed oil paint on raw canvas. His work is vividly colourful, often humorous and marked by a powerful, affective gesture. For Green, the process of painting is one where emotion flows freely, it has directness to it that the every day life lacks. His subject matter weaves motifs from contemporary culture and politics, especially its guttural movements, with mythical elements and the natural world. Green is concerned with the moral failings of contemporary life.
Francis Payne makes works using laser cutters and 3D printers. Usually small in scale, the works are abundant in detail, texture and imagery. Payne uses plant based resin, pigment as well as industrial elements like spray paints or MDF. Concerned largely with historic painting of Renaissance, Baroque and Romanticism, he uses photographic images from his daily life collaged and laser engraved onto prepared surfaces. Those may be cast or full of hand gestures, brush strokes and fingerprints. For Payne painting is a journey towards sublime, and it is a fire hidden in a mundaine reality.
