Louise Verity:
I’m inspired by the great colour field painters, abstract expressionists and the impressionists. When I stand in front of a painting I love in a gallery, I feel a connection to all the other people that love that painting. I feel like we’re all the reason it’s there. I love bringing colours together as a way of evoking this experience. instagram.com/louiseverityart
Keiron Farrow:
Painting started for me in 1989/90, with the sleeve of The Stone Roses first album which their guitarist, John Squire painted and designed in the style of Jackson Pollock...
I have come to understand that what I paint is the interplay of the wider world I inhabit and my internal landscape. The delicate balance between them stirs a sequence of sensations: mainly ecstatic, sometimes horrific. These cause a colour collision, in which I find self revelation, bliss and ultimately freedom. Also, and perhaps most importantly, painting is the purest joy I possess. instagram.com/keironfarrow
