James Gibbs Fish Art

From the web site - James's fish art cleverly characterises the individuality of each type of fish and includes glistening sardines, bubbles of bream, packs of sharks and solo fish gliding by. His observations of fish and plant life and use of striking colours and tones capture a vivid and appealing quality and a touch of 'fish' familiarity that we can all relate to.

Photographs

Alex Bamford - Moonlighting

From the web site - "I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs," street photography god Garry Winogrand once said. In many ways Alex Bamford goes one stage further by photographing Sussex at night in order to make it look different. With parallels in Ryan McGinley’s recent Moonage exhibition, Moonlighting – Alex’s first show – makes Earth look like an alien landscape. His exposures – only possible on two or three days either side of a full moon – last from three to ten minutes (“Too short is dark, too long looks like day time,” he explains) leaving a stillness under dramatic skies.
