	Gallery: Bleach Box (Stand 128) Artist James Collett Biography Dr. James Collett has a long-standing interest in the relationship between art and science. In his photographic work, he uses the optical properties of fluids and thin films to create a diverse set of miniature universes. Within this multiverse, he finds and frames particular systems using subtly sculpted light and colour to reveal lilliputian worlds with their own distinctive topography. His work has been supported by the Department for Education and Skills, the Wellcome Trust, the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Institution, the Nuffield Foundation and the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

	Gallery: The Smithfield Gallery (Stand 144) Artist James Foot Biography Born in 1960, James Foot is a watercolour painter who studied at the Falmouth and Canterbury Art Schools. He has hosted various solo and group shows in London, Spain, Greece and the U.S. and has undertaken commissions for: Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, the Houses of Parliament, St. Pancras Parish Church, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hackney, the Royal London Hospital. St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in Smithfield and The London Chest Hospital in Victoria Park. One of his most significant commissions was a painting of the hand-over ceremony of Hong Kong to China in 1997. The watercolours that James predominantly makes today are figurative and all about light – how light illuminates, reflects, dissolves and transforms architecture, form, landscape and water. In recent years his subjects have ranged from the very ordinary, almost mundane – a single chair, an urn, a doorway, to grand vistas and cityscapes: Venice, Milan, Rouen and London have all come under his scrutiny. The fact that he came to painting figuratively via a route of experimental work in other media has meant that his watercolours are infused with these experiences. He is much travelled in America, North Africa and Europe, and now spends as much time in Southern Greece, where he has a home, as he does in London. Wherever, his works display an enthusiasm for everything around him and seek to invite the viewer to observe both the actual painting and the environment that inspired it. Whether the play of light on water, the shadows cast over an intensely white wall, the soft dappled sunlight through a spray of bougainvillea, the ancient twisted trunk of a favourite olive tree, a hillside of wild flowers, a pair of rustic chairs facing each other across a table or a market redolent with spice and odour, his watercolour collections convey a freshness that reflects the talent of this artist of light and shadow, colour and subtlety. James's control of watercolour is admirable and his natural talent, his studies, his obsession with perfection and his need to share what motivates him emotionally, are significant. "My painting does not want to change the world” he says, "it just wants to show you how much beauty there is". Artwork Boat
