In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Constance Anne (@ConstanceAnne.ca) who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024
Constance Anne is an artist based in London UK, her artwork celebrates people and personalties.
Her artwork is inspired by people and connection. By the odd mixes of personality, diversity, and life experiences that make us who we are. Her abstract portraits have a focus on the face in a way that plays on facial proportion, features and the body. She shows how things that are perhaps ‘odd’ or ‘weird’ can also be beautifully interesting. Her paintings explore personality and style through the look each can hold. She loves colour, her expressive and vibrant portrait paintings and artworks are a beautiful statement for interiors.
The Signatures Collection brings abstract minimalist features, with focus on elongation and a particular positioning of the face. Each face has a completely different personality and all are looking to the viewer's right, looking forward, looking on.
The Classics Collection shows the face as an anchor point, that looks back at you and draws you into thinking about where this character may be going or what they may be doing in the surroundings they are painted in. Each personality has a personal theme explored by their surroundings, clothes or background. The Scenes Collection show the person and theme explored by a scene or location they exist in.
The Scenes Collection show the person and theme explored by a scene they are captured in.
Constance grew up in Liverpool Merseyside in the UK (home to The Beatles) where she takes great inspiration. She is half Welsh and day to day she goes by the name Connie.
Constance is currently based in London and is exhibiting throughout the Uk.
From 27-29 September, Constance will be showing their work at the New Artist Fair at in the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London, E1 – For more details go to https://www.newartistfair.com/

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to The Artist Kitty (@kitty_arttist71) who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September.
I have known The Artist Kitty for over 25 years, all that time and more she has battled severe mental health, namely Paranoid Schizophrenia; sometimes ahead of the battle, others not so.
She was previously very creative, working for a screen printers’, and drawing & painting. I had tried to encourage her to revisit it many times, but confidence and change of route had become a challenge.
Then at the start of lock-down, out of the blue, she ordered several canvases, brushes and an array of paints and started painting. Within no time, she developed her own style; that just ooze happiness & positivity.
She now says that painting is as beneficial as any medication; the BIRDS represent this new-found freedom, FLOWERS her growth and the CAGE that occasionally appears, is her condition... That seems to show itself a lot less nowadays.
I have tried so many times to get Kitty on the pod, but her lack of confidence has always got the upper hand... Until today!
Kitty has never shown her work outside of Instagram, where she has developed a much appreciated following; from 27-29 September, I will be showing/selling her work at the New Artist Fair at in the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London, E1 – For more details go to https://www.newartistfair.com/

B Evans Designs, established in March 2019, meant that I could combine two of my greatest passions in my life; my love for painting & animals.

In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Vitor Lopes (@vitorlopes.art), who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024
For years I have explored different avenues of creative expression, fully immersing myself in the works of artists and the extensive realm of art history. My expertise primarily stems from self-teaching, supplemented by short courses in drawing, sculpture, mould making, casting, 3D modeling, and product design.
However, it was only three years ago that I made the conscious decision to fully embrace the world of fine art photography, from concept, photography, printing and framing.
Mystyle reflects limitless creativity and a distinct artistic flair, involving the human body and powerfull messages of hope, love and reflection.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Nana SRT (@nana.S.R.T)
Nana Sakura Rosalia Tinley Klimek, aka Nana SRT, is a visual artist working primarily in photography. She lives and works between London and Vienna.
Introduced by her father to the NikonFM as an early teen, Nana picked up photography and darkroom as a voluntary side subject in high school. She shot her first personal series depicting caged zoo animals’ eyes at around the age of 18.
Around that time she moved to England and quickly became involved in the London dance scene. Her photography remained a private pastime.
In 2009, NSRT shot her first dance series entitled Move!, which is included in her public portfolio today.
Finding herself amidst heaps of photographs, in 2019 NSRT decided to share some of these publicly, and took the leap to participate in art fairs, making her debut at The Other Art Fair w Saatchi Art in Brooklyn, New York.
Various art fairs have followed since, including Red Dot at Miami Art Week (2022 and 2023), Art Wynwood (Miami 2023), and Art Santa Fe (2023).
NSRT has exhibited at some group shows including: at Bergdorff Goodman (NYC), Orchard Galerie (NYC), and some independently run local art events in East London.
She launched her first book DAIDO LOVE at Offspring London and Peckham24, published by Photobook Café Editions, in May 2024.
Daido Love is stocked in London at The Photographers Gallery, and Photobook Café, and in Vienna at Westlicht.
NSRT continues to immerse herself in the world of dance and draws inspiration from it.

In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Jonny Mellor (@JonnyMellorArt) who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024
I am an artist strongly influenced by minimalism and geometric abstraction. I use this visual language to create paintings, prints and hand cut paper art . The exploration of colour, process, materials, space and form are central to my practice.
I am interested in taking forms, shapes and patterns and combining these with carefully considered colour combinations. I am continually striving to achieve balance and harmony within my works composition and colour pallet.
Amongst the barrage of visual stimulation and the overall increasingly chaoticness of life, minimalist art is at rest, creating a quiet harmony and balance which offers the viewer a space of calmness and contemplation.

From 27-29 September, Jonny Mellor will be showing their work at the New Artist Fair at in the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London, E1 – For more details go to https://www.newartistfair.com/

In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Stella Zuegel (@stellazuegelart) who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024
Contemporary geometric artist Stella Zuegel creates unique art using both watercolour on paper, and acrylic and oil paint on canvas. Each piece is painted free hand and takes between 3-24 months to complete.
In her work, Stella plays with shapes and colours to create depth, dimension and cohesion. These curate a journey of free-flowing exploration through individual shapes, larger patterns and the composition as a whole for the audience.
Stella’s work is inspired both by the poignant stories and emotions of herself and the people she meets and by an organic curiosity towards the very nature of self and the universe. Her work is thus a geometric representation of her inner path to discover the essence of her being and her journey towards understanding the world and its people, whilst also being a colourful expression of human experience and emotion.
For more information on the work of Stella Zuegel go to www.stellazuegelart.com
From 27-29 September, Stella Zuegel will be showing their work at the New Artist Fair at in The Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London, E1 – For more details go to https://www.newartistfair.com/

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Natalie Chapman (@nataliechapmanartist)
Natalie Chapman paints portraits that engage with family identity and issues based around dysfunctional relationships and social documentary. She is influenced by the work of photographers Richard Billingham and Nan Golding, and have similarly focused on spontaneous snapshot- compositions, saturated colour space and incidental objects in order to set a scene of everyday life.
She has returned to the same old photographs of her childhood, to re-arrange her memories and work through family history and its daily struggle. Natalie wants her work to feel edgy and to seduce the viewer into contemplating ambiguous tension, a sense of emptiness, boredom and anxiety.
Her process involves capturing memories using small collages of family portraits with interior scenes recalled from childhood. These studies are scaled up on large canvases to create presence and intensify personal stories using gritty expression and garish colour. She wants to create images about human relationships that are simultaneously tender and dysfunctional.

In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Gallery No32 (@gallery_no.32)
Taking inspiration from our grassroots, DIY heritage, 2025's PARK is a space for experimentation. This year, we're not only encouraging fully formed applications, but also ideas, WIPs and sculptural question marks so that together, we can build our 4th and most exciting sculpture park to date.
We have a new venue! We are re-opening Thamesview Golf Course in Thamesmead, South East London for the return of the PARK. The site has been closed to the public for over a decade and we're excited to be reactivating this amazing space with art, culture and exploration.
Thamesview Golf Centre has been out of use for over a decade, leaving the attached green spaces fenced off and inaccessible to the public. The site hosts a neglected two story clubhouse with rooftop viewing platforms, a paved forecourt and two large fields separated by chain link fencing.
Developing ideas for Winter Sculpture Park submissions requires a consideration of the land for installation and durability. The No.32 team is here to support your plans with this! So do give us a nudge if you have any questions or need some advice.
Thamesview Golf Centre, 2 Fairway Drive, Thamesmead, London SE28 8QN
