LONDON, UK.- In a showcase of the best works from a selection of their artists from 2005 - Spectrum Fine Art is proud to present a new group show of eight internationally renowned fine art practitioners. Featuring over 25 works, this ‘Salon’ type show features Cheryl Brooks, Carlos Meijide, Rita Duffy, Peter Murphy, Igor Tishen, Jennifer Trouton, Martin Wedge and Andrei Zadorine. As well as featuring highlights from the 2005 program, this group show will give a taster of some of the work coming up in the highly anticipated 2006 season, including works that will be exhibited at the London Art Fair in January. Cheryl Brooks was born in 1961. Cheryl has exhibited widely since completing an MA in European Fine Art. Much of this time was spent in Barcelona. She has had two solo exhibitions there has also acted as a visiting lecturer. Carlos Meijide was born in Buenos Aires in 1953, and has permanent exhibition in Secretaría de Cultura de Bariloche (Neuquén, Argentina); Centro Cultural Alberto Sánchez. One of Northern Ireland's most celebrated artists, Rita Duffy has concentrated primarily on the figurative/narrative tradition. Her art is often autobiographical, including themes and images of Irish identity, history and politics. Born in Belfast in 1959, Duffy grew up in South Belfast. She received her BA at the Art and Design Centre and then her MA at the University of Ulster. Peter Murphy was born in Leeds in 1959, educated at Jacob Kramer College of Art and the University of East London, Murphy trained with noted iconographer Guillem Ramos Poqui in London in the 1980s. He has been painting for church and private patrons ever since. An undisputed leader in his field, Igor Tishin's art is hard to ignore. He does not compromise in his quest for expression, moving effortlessly between painting drawing and installation. Primarily concerned with the effects of Soviet society, both past and present, in his native Belarus, he interprets his thoughts and feelings with a rare individuality and total unpredictability. Tishin has exhibited widely throughout Europe and the United States. His work is housed in the Belarussian State Museum and other public and private collections. Belfast based artist Jennifer Trouton has been exhibiting her work nationally and internationally since graduating with Honours in Fine Art in 1996. Her work has received continued support from the Arts Council with her most recent awards being a funded residency at the Banff Centre of Arts in Banff Canada . Martin Wedge was born in Belfast in 1958. Andrei Zadorine was born in the rural village of Beryovka in the province of Perm in the Russian Ural Mountains. He graduated from the Free Painting Department at the Belorussian State Academy for Theatre and Fine Arts. As an artist, Andrei Zadorine is very much inspired by his memories of childhood in Eastern Europe. Spectrum London has been encouraging and supporting exciting British and International contemporary artists since its beginning. This show ends 31 January.
