Joan Mitchell - Painter

Joan Mitchell creates large scale Abstract paintings:

In speaking of Mitchell, others tell us of her "physical materiality" — how she exudes the visual sentiments of nature- the objectivity of her painting, devoid of anecdote or theater and in her own words "to convey the feeling of the dying sunflower." Joan Mitchell as an abstract expressionist composes with long curvilinear strokes or broad stains of color, contrasting warm and cool, often on unprimed canvases. Her perceptions enrich her work with a fascinating sense of the unfinished. Joan Mitchell demonstrated in painting just as in life-anything can happen.

Danny Treacy - Photographer

Danny Teacy is a photographer who creates surreal images of people 'recovered clothes, collected from those lonely places - the woods, the wasteland, the car-parks. They are re-stitched and re-fashioned: re-modelled into junk monsters. They are nightmares of the catwalk, prowling around the outskirts of style's dumb extravagance.
They belonged to the unknown, the anonymous, the lost, the drunken, the deranged, the sexually driven, and who knows, the dead. They are the sinister carnival playing in the street. They are the music we dread to hear. They confront us. They defy us. They take a chance in our presence. They take a chance on existence. They are Danny Treacy dressed-up.'
