Debbie Court

Papier Maché Sculptor, Wales.

In her own words:

“I started out as a musician, teacher and arts administrator, but have always needed art as a means of creative expression. I fell into papier mâché sculpture by accident about two years ago and have become obsessed by it! I sculpt every day, sometimes for several hours withoutrealising it, and it is my passion.

I make human figures almost entirely from paper. I don't use wire armatures and most of the colour comes from coloured paper, not paint. I love the way this medium can show muscles and bones below the flesh with the slightest tweak and I really enjoy adding details and quirky bits to make the piece unique.

I'm starting to show my work in galleries and I've done a few commissions. The work is slow, each piece can take up to a month to complete, but I'm not into mass production. All my pieces are one-off. ”

Kira Frose

Sculptor, Germany

In her own words:

“I have to touch this”

This is the essence of what drives me to make art. Glossy surfaces and structures, fluid forms and dynamic matter, the contraposition of stagnation and movement fascinates and inspires me. My work is emotive and focused on one’s desire for haptic experiences. Subconsciously driven by the beauty of nature, I create static structures that depict motion and appear to be light despite the heaviness of their substance. Through the conceptual use of organic, playful, and dynamic shapes, my work invites the viewer to experience what is before them with their own senses and imagination. The materials I mainly use are ceramics, plastic, glass and textile, because those materials have the most attractive and haptic effect on me and are- in one way or another - magical to me.Working with ceramics is always a surprise, you never know what you get when you open the oven. Plastic and glass can be lead until a certain pointbut what the substance finally decides to do is always up to itself. All these materialscome along with a certain stubbornness by their very nature – just like me.

During the process of creating work I knead, I stroke,I strike, I constructand touch everything with my hands - I have to touch this.

Txetxu Gonzaléz

Painter, Madrid, Spain

In his own words:

“My name is Txetxu González and I am from Madrid, Spain. I have beenpainting since I can remember. My inspiration is fundamentally based in daily life events and the constant spirit of transformation we all get through as humans. Building on that basis, I take movement, light and colour (in all its possible forms) as special guests during the creative process. At the end, every painting is an opportunity of intimate catharsis for me, never losing sight of its particular connection with the unpredictable character of the world we nowadays live in. Poetry, metaphors, literary figures, nature are in general some of the most powerful sources for me and my work. While I am painting, movement, light and colour are the tools I use to develop or dig into my perception about different main human subjects (and all their opponents): love, the test of time, hope, contradiction, fear, desire, frustration, redemption.

I don't paint exact objects, people, landscapes. I try paint about what exists between them, about what exists due to them, about what makeus all fall, rise, doubt, agonize or fantasize through their twists and turns. It's not a pretension or ambition, maybe just a very basic need.”
