Title: Butterfly Summer
Medium: Mixed Media original Image Size: 24" x 24"
Price: £845

Kevin Bandee was born in 1968 and worked in the IT corporate world for many years. Once his family had flown the nest he decided to pursue his lifelong interest in art.From my digital art experiences, I discovered fractals, infinite complex pictures of repeating geometric shapes that exist within nature, in the beauty of trees, rivers, snowflakes, mountains, clouds and crystals. I wanted to somehow recreate these amazing natural effects in paintings with an abstract twist.This is where my journey started, over three years attempted to create something that represented my interpretations of these formations in a painting. I had to make own paint brushes that did not exist and experiment with different chemicals and paint mixes.

I use a multi-layer approach, with varying depths, each creation is revisited on a number of occasions, taking up to 2 weeks to complete. I have also developed my own True 3D effects style bringing elements of nature to these abstracts to complement each piece.

Nick Potter
Nick was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire in 1959. Despite attaining an 'A' in Art, he was encouraged to go to University rather than Art School. He read Archaeology at Leicester University followed by a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. In the early eighties Nick moved to the beautiful village of Great Bowden in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside.

Living in the country and fuelled by frequent visits to Cornwall, Scotland and the Lake District he became much more interested in Landscape painting. This led to years of experimentation with different media which is when he discovered the vibrancy of acrylic inks, using them like watercolour paints. This was the beginning of a new enterprise.

Through the years he gained the experience that gave him the encouragement he needed to take his art to the next level, professionally publishing his work and exhibiting in galleries throughout Britain.

Nick now lives yards from the sea in Embleton on the fantastic Northumberland coast where he is inspired by the landscape and seascapes every day.

Nick usually paints in his garden studio to the background of audio books on tape or CD. These are unabridged and can last up to 17 hours. He is so attuned to this way of working that he cannot paint without them. They are as much a part of the painting process as the paint or canvas.

Having decided on the composition in a sketchbook, he carefully but quickly sketches in the detail. All this planning is often covered by the first coat of paint.

He then decides on a 'mood colour which will unify the painting; however the first coat of paint may be the exact opposite. Nick paints with acrylics for their versatility and quick- drying properties. He paints quickly employing various textures, dribbles, splatters and scrapings.

He was born in 1952. After five years of study at Swansea and Coventry (Lanchester) Art Colleges, he graduated with a BA in Fine Art (Painting) and embarked on a career as an illustrator in publishing. His professional painting career has since focussed on realist landscape painting.

He has recently extended his style to encompass a more "colourist" approach. The basis of his inspiration remains largely his love of light, colour and atmosphere in landscape. Having formerly spent many years living near the coast, he regularly returns to this subject matter.

Biography: Alfredo Candela
Born In Alcoy (Alicante), in 1959

He attended his first painting studies at the School of Fine Arts in Alcoy, then moved to Valencia. It was here where he attended his preference for marine subjects, being one of his great specialities.
It dominates the colour both in cold tones and the warmest quality that we can observe in it’s bright and luminous marinas, without forgetting the floral themes and the landscapes.
Despite his age, he is still studying at the University of Valencia trying to improve his artistic skills. For these reasons, he is trying with the new tendencies, looking for the modern and young market.

Although he has not lavished much on solo exhibitions, he has frequently collaborated in various group exhibitions.
On his first steps as an artist he did exhibitions in Cultural centers, banks and official institutions, his first individual exhibition was in 1981.

Even though he has participated in more than 100 exhibitions we cite those remarkable ones from recent years.
