You are invited to come and explore Bath’s contemporary arts venue - 44AD artspace.
Treat yourself to a visual feast and of course a mulled wine from our seasonal pop.up.bar!
Artist’s at 44AD artspace will open their studio doors, offering a unique insight into their creativity. Hiding behind the respectable frontage of a Georgian townhouse, 44AD’s three floors of artist studios are home to some of Bath’s brightest visual artists; whose practice ranges from painting, printmaking and photography, to ceramics, sculpture and sound art.
An exciting selection of original artwork, prints and cards will be on display and available for sale.
This is a great opportunity to meet the Artists, see their studios, discuss their art and explore the space.
Studio Artists
Studio 1
Katie O’Brien Recent paintings map ideas and elements which surround the imagery of traditional paintings. Colour schemes are typical of photo editing programs -connecting both concept and process.
Studio 2
Angie KinnearWorking creatively for me is a sense of adventure, a play with line, colour and shape using watercolours, acrylics, oils, printmaking, pastels and photography.
Studio 3
Beryl DesmondMy practice is concerned with structure and space in the landscape and my colour palette complements the energy of my mark making. Drawing and painting both play important roles.
Studio 4
Dragomir MišinaI use the process of painting to document physical and psychological presence, investigating the communicative function of colour and form as a reaction.
Studio 5
Paul HollinSense of place, experience, change, time.
Studio 6
Ottelien HuckinOttelien's bold and expressive figurative compositions are deep rooted in the traditional practice of life drawing; allowing her to work from sketches and intuition.
Studio 7
Jenny CowderoyJenny works in oils to depict the beauty and changing nature of sea and land. Her pieces represent the balance between beauty and decay, the transformation inherent in nature,
in all of us.
Studio 8
Jess PigottExplorations of colour - using oil and acrylic, paintings based on abstract compositions derived from photographs.
Studio 9
Faye HadfieldI construct expressive and intentionally sloppy ceramic vases that parody emoticons. Their faces are invested with relatable human feelings, creating a tension between object and viewer.
Studio 10
Jean TyrrellHaving concentrated on more realistic representations in oil, my interest now has diverted to capturing the energy in nature, using acrylics in a more abstracted way.
Studio 11
Jon TonksJon Tonks is a photographer originally from the Midlands, producing documentary work that focusses on often remote and obscure stories about lives shaped by historyand geography.

Jim EdmistonPainting in oils and acrylic gives me an opportunity to explore colour through abstract representations of landscape and interiors.
