"I'd like to think my work has a sense of uneasy optimism.
I include macabre characters with languid postures that are
fraught with uncertainty and concern. I tend to offset these
un-beauteous characters with an elegant use of flowing line,
decorative boarders and considered detail. I'm trying to
produce work that projects the negative, unpleasant aspects
of life as things that can be viewed as beautiful and appealing.
My current personal work centres on the inevitability's of life
such as: age, anxiety and responsibility. Although I'm exploring
personal concerns they are issues that most people can relate to
at some point in their life.
Despite working in a variety of media, I always start with a pencil
and a sketchbook I like to split my digital and hand rendered work
evenly and have usually got at least one painting underway.
I owe my creative interests to skateboarding and daydreams."

Interested in photographing moments that conjure feelings of ponder.
Most of Will's work comes from walking around with a camera trying
to document the immense world around him, and capturing in a picture,
the way it makes him feel. All his work is un-cropped and un-enhanced.

Andrew Walter is an illustrator and bad tempered sod currently being
kicked out of South London. He graduated from Kingston University in the summer of
2007 with a BA in Illustration and is now chipping away at establishing his freelance
career. Drawing takes priority in his work, but he yearns for the day he can tackle
some printmaking again. He has exhibited at a number of previous Lazy Gramophone
events in the past, as well as at the group exhibition A Word In Your Eye, in conjunction
with Write To Ignite festival. The grey hair on the right side of his head is a birthmark,
not an indicator of worry. Trephine Me contains all new work, and is his first solo show
in London.

Dirty Drawers is what happens when the clicking pencils of Miss
Gill and Miss Harrison collide. Two minds, many nimble fingers
and a shared appreciation for the slightly wrong work together
to create a zone populated by unconventional characters caught
in unusual behaviours, all under the influence of 'Jan' – muse,
mediator and master of deviance. The exhibition, In Outside at
the Macbeth Gallery will see Jan (hunter, gatherer, inventor,
philosopher, wise man & fool,) let rip.
The first piece of the show, a future-nature landscape housing
one lone lodge, will set the scene. As you step into the second
room you are welcomed inside the lodge, where you will join a
collection of prized artifacts and traplings.
The installation has been created specifically for the Macbeth
Gallery and the work will act as a back drop to the activities in
this being a living, social space.
Closing party viewing Thursday 10th April.
