A Fall of Ordinariness and Light (The Enabling Power), commissioned by the Foundling Museum in 2014, is a response to the social housing estate Robin Hood Gardens in Poplar, designed by Peter and Alison Smithson in the late 1960s and due to be demolished in 2015. The limited edition print is from a series of four graphite drawings that visualise the anticipated demolition, symbolising the fall of social ideals of progress.

Orlanda Broom, Kew Trip, 2014. 66 x 88 cm. Limited edition screen print of 15
Orlanda Broom
The artist’s paintings and prints offer, in her own words, a “hyper, rose-tinted view” of the natural world. This limited edition print combines the fine detail of a botanical drawing with a Japanese-style colour palette and a surreal intensity of focus.

Paula MacArthur, Who’s to say that I’m unhappy III, 2012. 112 x 76 cm.
Series of four, two artist’s proofs also available
Paula MacArthur
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Or are they? MacArthur’s paintings and prints of gigantic gemstones throw an uneasy light on the desires and obsessions we invest in these precious jewels and the fragility of the romantic ideals they represent.

Abbi Torrance, Bermuda Triangle, 2013. 29.7 x 42 cm, edition of 25 giclee prints
Abbi Torrance
Look closely at the delicate formations in Torrance’s drawings and prints and you’ll find that they consist of interlocking human figures. She is endlessly intrigued by the relationship individuals have with one another and with the larger social structures that govern all our lives in an increasingly globalised and interdependent world.

Mustafa Sidki, Ramadan, 2014. 51.5 x 44 cm
Mustafa Sidki
Sidki’s work reveals, quite literally, the imprint of his Islamic background. Using traditional relief printmaking methods and typographical imagery, he explores the words, ideas and symbols that informed his strict religious upbringing and remain deeply embedded in his consciousness.

James Winnett, The Rise and Fall of the Grey Mare’s Tail, 2013. 32 x 45 cm. Limited edition of 100
James Winnett
Glasgow-based Winnett made this letterpress print, in the style of an 18th century Romantic engraving, as an offshoot of his commission to create a gravity-powered fountain in Galloway Forest Park in 2013 - a remarkable feat of hydro-engineering that also posed questions about environmental sustainability and artistic re-presentations of nature.

Ellie Davies, Between the Trees 1, 2014. 60 x 90 cm and 80 x 120 cm
Ellie Davies
For the past seven years Davies has been making photographs about the woods and forests of the UK, captivated by their beauty and the place they occupy in our collective psyche. What is a forest, she asks? Is it the trees or the space that exists between them?
