Karen D’Amico’s art practice focuses on the devising of
various groupings and systems as agencies of connecting and
interpreting notions surrounding identity/legacy, accumulated
histories, and sense of place. By incorporating maps, text,
assemblage and the photographic image in her work, she
juxtaposes and manipulates objects and images in an attempt
to order, contain and re-present them in various contexts. Karen studied at Chelsea College of Art and later at Central Saint Martins, where she received her BA in Fine Art in 2004. She has exhibited in London and internationally, and her work is in corporate and private collections.
Helene Kazan’s artistic process takes the basic principals of architecture and places them in an artistic context. Incorporating drawing, sculpture and installation, Her installations are designed to trigger that instinctual
effect that structures have on an individual. Layering materials such as paper, glass or perspex, much like one would with Photoshop, she builds up an amalgamation of imagery and structures. Helene received her BA in Fine Art, with First Class Honours, from Wimbledon School of Art in 2004, and has since exhibited in and around London. Helene also initiated and developed DeviateProjects and has co-curated independent exhibitions and events, most recently Art of Occupation, FLOCK, FLOCK 2 and Run Rabbit Run.
Steve Smith’s art utilises a variety of media to create works
of differing size, from small works on paper, photography,
hand held objects, to large scale sculpture and installation.
Material, object and site specifity are employed and processes
such as collecting, collating and cataloguing in the creation
of his art work, modification of existing objects and imagery
are used to engage the viewer to see afresh the familiar or
the overlooked. Steve writes a regular feature for Tangent
Art Zine and has taken part in exhibitions in London and
internationally.
