In a world increasingly defined by movement, noise, and excess, minimalism invites us to pause. It asks us to look beyond abundance and consider what remains when everything unnecessary is removed. A line, a gesture, a shape, a fragment of colour, or an empty space can become enough to hold an entire idea. This edition brings together an international selection of artists exploring Minimalism through painting, drawing, mixed media, digital art, photography, and contemporary o

‘’I am a British abstract expressionist artist with a BA Fine Art With First Class Honours from Plymouth University in 2006. My work is a colourful exploration of abstraction viewed through the lens of Abstract Expressionism and Fauvism. Drawing inspiration from spontaneous, intuitive mark-making, each colour and mark responds to the last, and figurative images often emerge as the painting evolves. I immerse myself in the painted environment, responding directly to each mark

Abstract geometrical patterns are observed in nature and everyday mundane observations such as the remnants of a tattered street poster, worn away by the elements; a chance item trodden into the pavement by passers-by; or patterns formed from the wear and tear of footprints on a church floor. Signs of the passing of time and layers of events, moments of transformation and memories that mould our lives, are what influence Maxine Harraway's art. In her work, she uses both paintin

‘’I was born and raised in Chicago. My background is in literature more than the visual arts. I have always been interested in both the visual aspects of language and the contexts in which language is found. I make visual poems, altered books, and literary objects. While I am not a minimalist in the art-historical sense, I am drawn to work that is understated and has the potential for opening outwards in the mind. The effort is to engage the eye without confusing it. I consid

‘’Through my art, I aim to delight, surprise, and polarize, while simultaneously inviting viewers to let the work resonate with them, to explore it, reflect on it, and interpret it in their own way. I want people to see art as a means of reflecting on their own experiences and discovering new perspectives. I believe art has the power to enrich everyone's life by evoking memories and emotions, offering alternative viewpoints, and opening the mind to new ideas. To this end, I o

Lewis’s work acts as a conduit between art and science. The supply of information from science fuels the production of visual material, which communicates the knowledge of a scientific endeavour. In short, Lewis’s work focuses on dealing with complex thoughts, ideas and facts within nature and science. Some explore those in which we seem to be overshadowed and overpowered in comparison by the vast distances, size or quantities. Others investigate moments of extreme power, cre

‘’I am a retired academic and now a freelance photographer with a wide range of photographic interests. I have been interested in photography for the past 60 years, but it is only since my retirement that I have really been able to spend a significant amount of time making the kind of images that I like.
