Karl Dmitri Bishop talks about his work, becoming a photographer and his exhibition at the Art Salon.
In the September exhibition of his photography at the Art Salon he explored the abstract dream space by veiling and obscuring the formal subject matter to form a highly constructed surreal moment. The elaborate veils that shroud each subject lend them their intangible quality of otherworldliness.
Jo will be showcasing her new work along side her ever growing range of characterful animal cards, and decorative floral prints. This is a perfect opportunity to get stocked up with some extra special gifts for Christmas, including this years latest products some lovely tea towels, featuring ‘The Tea Owls’ as well as mugs, cushions, calendars and much more.
Come along and enjoy a glass of wine with us on the opening night at 7pm Friday 25th October, looking forward to meeting you then.
There will also be a fun ‘make an animal mask’ workshop for children on 12noon – 2pm Saturday 26th October. This is a great chance for young children to have a go at drawing and colouring in their very own animal mask.
Please email Jo to book a space for your child contact@joclarkdesign.co.uk

The Exhibition explores some of the certainty and uncertainties of life. Their work encourages explorations of difference and similarity:
Catherine volunteered as a wildlife and conservation photographer, documenting flora and fauna whilst on safari in Africa, while Daisy chronicled goings-on closer to home.
A percentage of the sale of certain works will be donated to Huntingdon, Peterborough & Cambridge MS Therapy Centre

‘Karl Dmitri Bishop’s work explores the abstract dream space by veiling and obscuring the formal subject matter to form a highly constructed surreal moment.
His shots are high fabricated and processed, with each feeling more akin to a painting; the elaborate veils that shroud each subject lend them their intangible quality of otherworldliness.’

‘I was frightened by the dark as a child, now I find a perverse refuge in it’
Peter Sutton is an artist and maker whose work explores themes of memory, repetition, frustration and pointlessness – as revealed in manufactured every day objects and places. ‘I employ the visible attrition of time upon objects, traces of lives lived outside – but now within, the work’
With 25 years experience working in the creative industries professionally as a graphic designer and illustrator, ‘Curtains’ is his second solo show at the Cambridge Art Salon, using the space to explore his practice as an emerging artist.
Sound to the show will be performed by electronic musician Andy Coleman at the private view on Friday 28th June.

‘Diana is a young Fine Artist, a rare breed who studies and paints in the classical style. Her realistic depictions in watercolour are her most whimsical pieces, showing bright sweets and fresh fruit in simply designed staging. We are lucky to have found a brilliant artist at the start of her career; Diana works in oils and charcoal as well as watercolour, and her portraits are in demand, but she loves to explore different paint media, and her watercolour work has appeared in the Eat Cambridge brochure, as well as being hung by many satisfied clients in Cambridge.’ Design Essentials
‘Moving On’ is an exhibition of fresh, contemporary paintings and drawings born outof the daily commute from Cambridge to London.
What started out as time-passing doodles in the corner of a diary page has turned into a six year obsession with exploring and expressing the rich theatre of rail travel. As land and weather slip by, all is on display yet much is private. It’s is this strange contradiction and the subtle, beautiful peculiarities that germinate from the most mundane of experiences. Thrown together by the necessity of work and the process of ‘getting there’, we create a world of great physical and emotional diversity that unfolds within ever changing environments.
‘I never want to be nosey, and drawing and painting are a rubbish technique for paparazzi. Art for me is about distilling ideas rather than simply representing facts. I have always loved painters like Velasquez, Manet, Goya, and Rembrandt who seemed able to illuminate the world in a mysterious light rather than an intense glare. Luc Tuymans, Marlene Dumas and Karin Mamma Andersson are contemporary artists who continue this process and inspire me as to the huge potential of paintings’ slowness in an otherwise instantaneous digital world…’ Gideon Pain
