	Gallery: Artlounge (Stand 246) Artist Ray Lonsdale Biography The impact of Lonsdale’s sculpture has remained a constant in his career as an artist with his large-scale pieces drawing people in to discover more. Following the achievement of winning The People’s Award within the Hanging Jury Competition 2003 in Newcastle, Ray is now receiving increasing acclaim and attention for his highly distinctive and thought provoking work. Lonsdale’s passion for sculpture drove him to use the skills he had acquired in his commercial work as a steel fabricator, creating a diverse range of outstanding works of art in this material. He has adapted his refined technical skills and applied them to conceptually impressive and intricate sculptures. Lonsdale’s pieces are emotive, sensitive and at times quite dark as they reveal with the inner workings of the human psyche. This sensitivity to human emotion contrasts dramatically with the hard, masculine medium of steel, which inevitably creates an intense reaction within the viewer. Lonsdale’s collections to date show the sculptor’s fascination with the human form. Built from steel, his works are made even more intriguing by the ‘secret meaning’ contained within the head of his sculptures, created in a 3D mosaic profile each head contains a different object which provides a greater meaning to each piece.

	Gallery: Castle Arts (Stand 264) Artist Ric Horner Biography I have continued to paint since graduating from Exeter College of Art in 1989, and have exhibited regularly in Bristol, Devon, Kent, and London. My work is primarily concerned with the study of light, and its relationship to landscape and seascape. I am fascinated by the way it invokes different moods, and memories. Rather than predetermining the composition I like to work intuitively, for example, allowing interesting moments from a walk to inform the painting. Working in this way is dependant on regular drawing practice and the discipline to change direction when inspiration calls for it, hopefully allowing a stronger idea to be realised. I have recently moved back to Kent (Whitstable) and have taken the opportunity to concentrate on seascapes. The coast here provides an infinite variety of light effects with minimal formal elements. However the tidal margin between land and sea provides features and reflections and a persistant metaphor in its’ ebb and flow. I am always looking for different solutions to express light and form and often find abstraction a difficult but ‘felt’ solution to an idea. Artwork Bamenda (Study)

	Gallery: Wendy J Levy Contemporary Art (Stand 130) Artist Richard Clare Biography Richard was born in 1964 in Sheffield. He trained as a graphic designer, which encouraged the development of his art. Richard is inspired by the Italian landscapes, so much so that he has bought a home in Tuscany enabling him to spend more time there. Richard is colour blind, but insists that it has never caused him any problems as he is more interested in capturing the “spirit of a landscape” than reproducing it. His work is exhibited widely and is included in many private collections in Great Britain and abroad. His next exhibition will be a solo show at the Wendy Levy Gallery later this autumn.

	Gallery: ArtGallery.co.uk (Stand 164) Artist Royden Astrop Biography Royden Astrop was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1969. He spent most of his early adult career working as a TV soundman for American news based out of Cape Town, South Africa. During that time, Royden reported from some of the world’s most dangerous killing fields including Somalia, Rwanda, Zaire and Kosovo. In between news assignments, he worked as an artist focussing on digital, video and installation art. His watercolours were also exhibited in galleries in South Africa. After retiring from his news career, he returned to the UK in 2001, where his first professional exhibition of oil paintings, Lines of Fire, was met with a huge amount of national media and public interest. Since then he has worked as a full-time artist predominantly working in oils. His early experimental work combined conventional methods with innovative tools including a blow-torch and high-pressured air gun. His later and current work sees a return to the traditional craft of oil painting but evidence of his earlier explosive techniques can be seen in its content. Each body of work has a very distinctive style as Royden continues to experiment both with materials and technique. Artwork Da Vinci Left
