Gursharan Kaur

Gursharan began making art on the cusp of turning 70. Her works emerge from an intuitive enthusiasm to explore and reflect our inner emotions, and the connections we make with others and with the world around us. Sometimes these are fraught with grief and pain, and at other times they are joyous and bountiful.
Darshana Vora
darshanavora.portfoliobox.net
Darshana Vora’s newspaper collages ‘these narrative environments’ connect altered quotidian experience in the pandemic to a larger discourse critiquing the role of news and information in a world in flux.
Using the Evening Standard’s editorials to sift, mutate and re-present a version of reality, the process of creation became a way to counter her anxiety in the Covid 19 Pandemic.
The current iteration of this body of work takes the form of a serialized printed Tabloid, mimicking the source material and offering selectively composed narratives in the format of reportage and advertisements.
Darshana Vora is a conceptual artist with a multi-disciplinary approach. Her works are inspired by the urban fabric of the city, it’s rituals, processes and imagery – fusing the public with the private in dialogue. She has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions globally since 1997. She is a curator at a London gallery, and currently part of the research cohort with Theatrum Mundi.
Sangeeta Weatherley
sansart.co.uk / @sans.art
These watercolours and acrylic paintings are inspired by walks along the river Thames. Sangeeta tries to capture the tidal variation along with seasonal changes through the year. No two days are alike depending on weather, tide and time of the day which evokes a sense of wonder. It’s a memory that she wishes to capture; her journey that she wants to share. She hopes it draws the viewer into that moment. Perhaps they too have a fondness for the river. Perhaps it triggers some lost memories. These works serve as a representation of the connection between people and places.
Sangeeta Weatherley is a self-taught artist from Hyderabad, India with a background in IT. She undertakes commissions and is passionate about ‘Art Social/Art for Wellbeing’ workshops which have proven to help people connect with their inner creative in a fun and relaxed environment.
