Gas Gallery will be showing for the first time at the forthcoming Photo London Fair at Somerset House from 8 - 12 September. Launching at the show will be a new series entitled 'Edge of Disintegration' alongside a series of Monochrome works which will be available to buy as a set. 

You can read our full interview with Christine here

Showing at Stand D11 in the Discovery section, the show will focus on two abstract photographers whose work comes under the title of cameraless photography. Christine Wilkinson and Jo Bradford, both UK artists with an obsession with light and colour whose work is at different ends of the scale in terms of their processes. 

Christine Wilkinson’s work blurs the boundaries between photography and painting. Light becomes form. Form without substance, existing only as an instance of colour and light. Working with photographic negatives and digital pixels she creates something in between photography and painting with highly colourful results.

It begins with a photograph or a fragment of a photograph - car headlights or sunlight streaming through a window. It’s a starting point, a process, reducing the image simply to random pixels to be used as raw material.  Then it’s about finding the subject matter through the process, evoking a sensation rather than pinning down an image. Christine says of her work ‘The best way to describe my process is that I start with an image of light on which I make marks. Each of these marks enables me to control shape, tone, contrast and luminosity, almost like a form of drawing, creating exciting possibilities.”

Christine quotes Vaughan Oliver "One thing leads to another, and during the process you’ll stumble upon something that just happens, and that in a way gives you the feeling of what you were looking for in the beginning."

Based in central London and with a background in video and filmmaking Christine Wilkinson experiments with film and digital cameras, scanners, photocopiers, digital darkroom software ... and occasionally a pencil ... to create form out of light.

Very sadly Jane Fredericks died on 30 November 2020. In the last few weeks of her life, Jane decided she wanted to leave 4 limited edition prints that would help provide some income for her 16 year old daughter and serve as a parting gift to those who may not have been able to afford her original one-off paintings.  

Her husband Volker and I helped facilitate that wish and the prints are available to buy on the website.  The prints are authenticated by a signed certificate of authenticity. These are beautiful, high quality reproductions of original works that have not been sold and that remain with her family.

The prints are currently available to view at the studio - please do get in touch if you would like to view them. 

Spring has finally arrived and we have a new collection of Lisa James' prints available. Since showing these at the Affordable Art Fair in March we discovered that these lovely Abstract Art Prints were selling in pairs.

Each print is drawn digitally by Lisa, using her years of experience as a Textile Designer to translate her wonderful balance of colour, line and form using Adobe Illustrator. This allows for each print to be increased in size without any loss of quality, so we offer these prints at two different sizes and prices. The prints are high quality, museum quality prints using archival inks. This means that the colours will not fade and are guaranteed to last up to 150 years when framed and stored correctly. Each of the prints in this collection are limited editions of 50.

For a limited period we are offering a discount on Lisa's prints when buying 2 at a time. With the smaller image size of 35 x 45 cm priced at £120 individually, you can now get two for £200. The same for the larger 47 x 76 cm image size priced at £165 are now £300 for 2.

Bespoke sizes and editions are also available for interiors projects so please do contact us with any enquiries.
