Pablo Atchugarry's work is based on the principal that the natural beauty of marble is enhanced if the form remains simple. Atchugarry’s simplicity consists of variations on linearity - while avoiding straight lines. The volumes do not have any sharp sides, corners become inclinations, grooves become pleats.

Sukhi Barber’s sculptures are intended to bridge the cultures of East and West. Embodying the peace and compositional balance of ancient devotional art, they represent complex philosophical ideas with a simplicity and clarity that renders them accessible to the Western viewer. Exploring themes of hidden potentials, and the transcendence of our limiting view of a solid reality, her work often represents the negative space as being as important as the material itself, implying the dance of form and spirit, a constant state of transformation.

David Begbie has worked almost exclusively with the human form, primarily sculpting in steelmesh and his world-renowned figurative bodies are powerful, erotic, tactile and intimate. The steelmesh material adds intrigue yet is somehow familiar making the viewer curious to know how the perfection of form is achieved.

Olivier Chalmin's sculptures are made from preparatory studies and sketches where he captures the motions he wants before creating a maquette in clay to be cast in bronze. It is a long process where chance does not have much place. The physical expression of internal sensations is what he aims for. Chamlin believes that the body expresses the soul and his role is to make it visible to the spectator. Chalmin explores this though his series ‘OsCar’ which are each uniquely ‘clothed’ with often iconic imagery.

Naomi Press’s highly personalized approached to sculpture – contemplative, intuitive, passionate, direct, and concise – has revealed undreamed possibilities for her abstract forms in space. Her deft manipulation of sweeping planes and volumes, although tightly controlled, project the viewer into a timeless world where form and feeling have been integrated. This is a world, which values the profound life-affirming experience of her sculpture – a deeply felt, graceful encounter.
