Alan Smith (a former Course Leader of Fine Art at the University of Gloucestershire) has made
drawings which
derive from intense observation of minute details of everyday life. I
work always from memory, not direct observation, using simply a pencil and
eraser. I’m fascinated by objects and images which have been forgotten or
overlooked; so familiar that they become invisible. I believe it’s possible to
take these images, hovering at the edge of our vision and, by imbuing them with
fresh meaning, to reveal their emotional charge. (From Galerie Hus.) Read a critique by Joyce Cheng.

Bertrand Henry creates portraits and landscapes in very small format in
India ink (and often in ballpoint pen). He redirects our
gaze to a concept of place based on a poetic mix of imaginative vision and
concrete reality. His concern is not reportage but in conveying an idea of
landscape, ‘linked to memory’. (Rainer Michael Mason/Galerie Hus.)
