British Egyptian artist Nazir Tanbouli ushered in 2021 with a solo show of paintings at Cairo’s Picasso gallery.
Following the launch of the John Moores Painting Prize virtual exhibition last week, we look at the work of a-n members included in the online show.
Islam Zaher is a painter whose work strongly references sculpture. The paintings in the show Passive Constructions are not pictures ‘of’ sculptures, but they reference sculptural forms and the materiality of objects in space
Portraits and cityscapes by the Egyptian figurative painter Omar El Fayoumi.
As predicted the making of artwork has been exceedingly slow and patchy over the last year, primarily because of my MRes studies but also of course impacted by this ongoing pandemic. Despite the issues we have all faced, I am […]
With the 1st Semester of year 2 finished, i’ve managed to get my four paintings hung for assessment. Using film stills, i have attempted to look in to mental health and some of the issues many of us face on […]
(Danny Smith in Flashback) The Shadowlight Artists are a collective of seven artists with learning disabilities, formed in 2009. They are supported, managed, and produced by Film Oxford. I’ve been lucky enough to work on Shadowlight projects since 2015, and […]
Come in, come in! Mind my lanterns. Look at them burning so brightly, aren’t they pretty? Makes you want to sing doesn’t it? Good job you’re here. Gather round. How about a spot of Good King Wenceslas? Lanterns Door (mixed […]
It’s Christmas! I’m all ready and waiting for the big day. Notice my red decorations and twinkly lights ?. Now when’s Santa arriving so I can get them to polish my handles? It’s Christmas Door (mixed media painting on canvas […]
‘Ok, you can decorate me’ she huffs. ‘Just don’t make me too flashy like her down the road’. So she’s been subtly festooned and secretly quite likes her berries and ribbons (she won’t let you know it though!). Not Too […]
Sitting snuggly under her frothy red surround, she peers out from her new fringe to see if her neighbours have a garland as glamorous as she. Frothy Red Surround Door (mixed media painting on canvas board, 20x20cm/8″x8″) Click here to […]
Was attempting to blur an image I’d painted. My problem here was, I do not allow thinks to sit. I went back at it way to early, muddied the paints and made a pig’s ear of it. But that’s all […]
After what has felt a very long time I am back at Central Saint Martins to do the second part of my MRES Art: Theory and Philosophy course. This academic year is all about the final project – a 15000 […]
She’s sitting pretty at the top of the steps, enjoying the petal confetti whirling around her in the breeze. Confetti Door (mixed media painting on canvas board, 20x20cm/8″x8″) Shop: https://www.lynneforrester.com/store/p551/Confetti_Door.html Become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/lynneforrester
A little mossy around the edges and in the skirting of her petticoats. Her soul shines through in an eclectic mix of billowing layers.

Staunchly set under a heavy-thatched fringe, she’s gleamingly resolute in her standing. She may be a little dishevelled (it’s been a long night) but can hold her own with any the others. Resolute Door (mixed media on canvas board, 20x20cm/8″x8″) […]
She yawns and raises a quizzical eyebrow to observe the frost that’s settled around her, and snuggles herself back into her deep nook. Time for the outside elements to stay outside today. Quizzical Door (mixed media painting on canvas board, […]
Sometimes she feels like she’s barely there at all but she’s held in existence by those around her. No matter how ghostly her sense, sparks of previous colourful personality pop through in sharp edges and shades. Ghost Door (mixed media […]
Bedraggled amongst her branches, leaves draped wetly so that she dries out secondarily to all of those around her. Sometimes she just has to gather her gumption and apply depths of patience that she didn’t know she had. Bedraggled Door […]
Festooned in chilli garlands, she’s resplendent in her colourful corridor. She doesn’t need to be seen by millions, just joining her cheery decorative companions in their merriment (and she might mischievously drop a surprise present on the heads of people […]
She may appear still but she has all the moves. Her fizzling vibrations expand out into the air, scintillating and giving colour at every turn. She takes a deep breath and her voice soars – what song do you hear […]
She feels like the queen bee of doors, she even has her own permanent red carpet! Queen Bee Door (mixed media painting on canvas board, 20x20cm/8″x8″) Shop: https://www.lynneforrester.com/store/p542/Queen_Bee_Door.html
This lady is a wise one. She possesses the kind of wisdom that ripens with age and integrity – and it’s catching to those discerning folk around her. Her colours seep into her surroundings., marking out her territory and creating […]
