Jess Flood Paddock

JESS FLOOD PADDOCK [ARTIST]






"Her thoroughly thought out and often-witty work uses cement and other building materials to give a roughly finished look that can feel edgy and unsettling at times. Not having had any formal training in fabricating using these materials, Flood-Paddock has picked up what she can when needed, through, as she describes, “awkward conversations in DIY shops”. "
(DAZED & CONFUSED)

(DAZED DIGITAL / CONVERSE EMERGING ARTIST SHORTLIST)- 2010

"Jess Flood-Paddock’s sculpture is centred in the solitude and dialogue of her studio practice, questioning the actions and objects of making in such a way as to dislodge the expectations attatched to weight, to gesture, to material. Without relying on perceptual games her table-top pieces fox the eye - assuming a monumentality beyond their scale"
(STANDPOINT LONDON)

Jess Flood-Paddock trained at the Slade (BA Fine Art 2000) and the RCA (MA Sculpture 2005). Her work has featured in several group shows nationally including Transformer, Woburn Square, 2007; New Contemporaries, London and Liverpool 2006.

Sheffield Artist- Lee Bamforth

Lee Bamforth

Lee Bamforth is a freelance artist based in Sheffield and one the city's brightest talents. His works are exceptional, finely detailed pieces that are truly stunning. There's a sumptuous fluidity to his artistry and a definite dark side too. It seeps out of his images as if the blackness is dancing all around you, yet his women retain an illuminating radiance.
There's little wonder he's been awarded Graphic Designs Digital Artist of the Year 2009. He aims to make the world of art and design "an awful lot prettier" and you'll see below, he's keeping his word...

By returning to his origins in using watercolours, Lee has further developed his style. It certainly adds a whole more depth and life to his drawings, whilst retaining his unique and beautiful style...

LINE & A DOT

Truly delightful music from the leafy suburbs of Northampton. Sarah “sings along” to her acoustic guitar “in different notes with different words”. A slightly simplistic self-summary of the songs of Line & A Dot. Considering the wealth of influences ranging from the writings of Seamus Heaney to Hunter S. Thompson. Whilst musically there’s touches of Elliot Smith and Jenny Lewis. Listen to the gorgeous, charming sounds of Line & A Dot here and become captivated by her sheer natural splendour…
