Seven members of a new illustration collective present their second exhibition 'Illustration' at Motorcade/FlashParade from Thursday 21st to Sunday 24th April.

The collective gradgallery.co.uk was established in 2010 by a group fo University College Falmouth Illustration graduates, with the aim of exhibiting and promoting their illustration to a wider audience.

On display will be a diverse cross-section of contemporary illustration produced in a range of media. This will include children's illustration, editorial and advertising work, photography, greetings card designs and fashion illustration. Members of the collective have already had commissioned and published work.

Robert Prideaux presents a series of videos from his new project Donkey Island.

A landscape is transformed through the medium of film... it is no longer the same place. But in its stead, a highly believable, unreal landscape is created. There are no limitations as to what can occur in this new landscape.

Donkey Island is just such a place. Prideaux has filmed an old quarry in Bristol whose heavy industrial past  has shaped the evolution of its topography. Playing with time, place, camera movement, and his own presence within the moving-image-screen,  Prideaux fabricates his own history of this new place.

By adjusting and tweaking the "truth" of the site of filming, how "real" or "unreal" something is on Donkey Island becomes unclear.

Prideaux runs around, stumbles through and explores this new terrain, challenging his and our relation to the highly believable yet unreal world inside the moving-image-screen.

Spring Show - curated by Fiona Cassidy

Deborah Feiler · Helena Haimes · Lydia Halcrow · Catherine Knight · Harriet White

New work from 5 Bristol based artists sharing a new studio together and responding to their past work, their surroundings and to each other. BA and MA graduates from UWE and Bath School of Art and Design, their work ranges from video to painting across a range of media, with influences as diverse as memory, surrealist history, photography, mapping and our connection with landscape.

Deborah Feiler www.deborahfeiler.com

Deborah Feiler’s work contemplates our connection with landscape. By making visual equivalents for the elusive experience of silent watching, lines are appropriated from the outside world and scratched or drawn into paint or gesso. An interest in the interface of various disciplines loops in and out of the work – science, geology, psychology, whilst the choice of palette is about referencing light rather than local colour.

Helena Haimes www.helenahaimes.co.uk

Helena Haimes works primarily in video and installation. Her most recent pieces have been performance to video interpretations of particular anecdotes/works from the literary and artistic history of surrealism. She often features directly as an odd ‘re-enactor’, and uses mirrors and reflections as deceptive tools to play with the viewers’ perception of the action.

Lydia Halcrow www.lydiahalcrow.com

Combining painting and drawing on canvas, Lydia’s starting point are a series of walks that enable her to collect clues and remnants that hint at past activity in a place and how it has evolved and formed over time. These layers of shapes and symbols are combined to form a series of experiential maps that chart her experience of walking in a place - marking time with her feet against the ground.

Catherine Knight www.catherineknight.com

Catherine Knight's fascination with the process of sifting through old family photographs is the ongoing motivation behind her paintings. Drawn to certain photos which stick in her mind, the images are re-invented creating dreamlike, other- worldly states. The heightened colouration suggests a romanticised or hazed over version of events. They mirror how family histories and personal mythologies are half- remembered, smoothed over, or exaggerated over time. They make the viewer question - Do I know these people? Is this place real? Have I been there?

Harriet White www.harrietwhite.co.uk

Harriet White’s highly detailed portrait paintings reflect conflicting senses of intimacy and glamour; Images of luscious, thickly applied makeup evoke an initial sense of dazzle and seduction, yet also suggest a certain underlying vulnerability.
