Who we work with

Alan Goulbourne
Morriston Hospital, Swansea, Outpatients

Alan Goulbourne’s white sculptures’, – which hang from the wall and celling of the waiting area – are designed to appear like the fractured patterns of striated rock in the Welsh coastline. They also play an important role of softening the acoustics in a busy, cavernous, space – thereby making the patient experience more comfortable on both the eye and ear.

Goulbourne’s piece was a result of a close collaboration between sound engineers, estates, contractors, and artist, whose combined expertise has resulted in a fusion of visual art and sound engineering.

Alison Moger
Project

Alison’s work as an artist has evolved from her experiences as a child, within the South Wales valleys. She explores traditional stitch and print within her work, reflecting on the working class values of community life with its humour and warmth.

Her work also reflects on the women in her life as a child, who loved and nurtured her and influenced who she isas an artist today. Her practice aims to bring discarded often worn vintage textiles back to life with humour and a feeling of belonging. Each piece of work holds its own personality and is a unique piece.

Angela A’Court
Project

An artist and printmaker, Angela works predominantly in soft pastel, whether painting, printing, collaging or paper making.

Originally from London, New York has been home for the last thirteen years, with a recent break of eighteen months spent in Tokyo.

Angela’s evolution has been influenced by living in and experiencing different cultures, which have offered up a visual and emotional dimension to the work. As an onlooker, I have observed in each the routines and customs that provide a structure for day to day interactions and our need for connection. I am interested in re-defining soft pastel as a modern medium for reflecting contemporary life by distilling and exalting its intrinsic immediacy and tactile distinctiveness.

I move slowly in the studio, so that ideas can free-float. There is a rhythm and pace here that enables me to feel my way around a painting. With a sensibility rather than an single idea, I’ll begin painting so that randomness and equilibrium work along side each other. My working process is an explorative, intuitive mix borrowed from several disciplines, combining and alternating pastel with print or collage.

My information comes from careful observation, from reflecting on a familiar scene and drawing a narrative from it. The scenes are not staged but usually stumbled upon, perhaps a friend's window sill, kitchen table or a glimpse of two people engaged in conversation. It is the overlooked aspects of everyday life that draw me in, a stolen glance of another’s day to day and the rhythm of routine that we all share.

Charlotte Mann
New QEII Hospital

Charlotte Mann is known for her 1:1 scale wall drawings. The works are generally site specific and the relationship between their figurative subject matter and sculptural presence form the conceptual engagement around which her practice revolves. Her work exists in public and private collections around the world including works in Hong Kong, Singapore, Milan, Basel, Dublin and London.

Charlotte studied Fashion Design at Central St. Martins and upon graduating worked as a fashion designer and stylist. Examples of her fashion design work, in collaboration with Russell Sage, have been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and are in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum Archive in London. Her drawing practice developed from her now well-known installations included in fashion shows shown in both New York and London Fashion weeks, starting in 2006. These installations have also been exhibited in other contexts, including the Design Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark and The Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

David Tremlett
Project

Tremlett was born in St Austell, Cornwall. He attended Falmouth College of Art from 1962 to 1963 (was introduced to the college by Lionel Miskin and taught by Francis Hewlett (painting) and Ray Exworth (sculpture) before studying sculpture at Birmingham School of Art from 1963 until 1966 and then at the Royal College of Art in London. He travelled from the early 1970s in North America and Australia and from 1978 to 1987 in the Middle East and Africa.

His first solo exhibition was with Nigel Greenwood Gallery in London in the early seventies, where he rose to prominence alongside artists such as Richard Long and Gilbert and George.^[3] Tremlett was already making wall drawings at that time — his first was in 1969. Since the 1980s, his primary media has been pastel, of which he says: "It is a fragile, delicate powder, so light that you can blow it away, but at the same time you can make something strong, demanding, and structurally tough." Despite the time and attention required by all of his site-specific works, Tremlett does not limit himself to locations that will ensure permanence. Indeed, many of his wall drawings exist for only a short period of time before they are weathered by natural elements or painted over in preparation for the next gallery show. Tremlett’s palette has also been influenced over the years by his travel to execute site-specific works in places such as Malawi, India, Italy and Texas.

In 1992 he was shortlisted for the Turner Prize “for his many wall drawings displayed around the world, most notably at the Kestnergesellschaft in Hanover.”

Since the late 1970s, he has been creating wall drawings notably at the British Embassy in Berlin,^[4] the British Council Building in Nairobi, Kenya (designed by Squire and Partners in 2004) and the Capella Delle Brunate at La Morra, Barolo with his friend Sol LeWitt. His stained glass windows for the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Villenauxe-la-Grande in France were completed in 2005. The South Lobby of the Bloomberg Building, City of London was completed in 2017. https://www.wallpaper.com/architecture/bloomberg-europe-hq-foster-and-partners.

Tremlett has exhibited internationally in private galleries and major museums with 10 catalogues and many artist books to his credit. In 2011 he was asked to create a work for the entrance of the Manton Hall at Tate Britain titled ‘Drawing for Free Thinking’ it spans 450 sq. metres.

Katie Allen
Morriston Hospital, Swansea, Outpatients

Katie’s art is based on the natural world, its changing seasons and shades, which she transforms into a rich textile of patterns, forms and colours. Her paintings when viewed as a whole are of recognisable landscapes and natural forms – trees and plants, insects and birds – but on closer inspection become detailed abstract patterns composed of intricate designs and subtle colour harmonies which explore the play of scale from macro to micro and the movement between representational and abstract.

A trip to India in 2006 marked a major turning point in Katie’s work. Influenced by the art and architecture of Rajasthan and Lucknow Katie started experimenting with painting in new ways in order to create the very beautiful works for which she is now known.

“As well as numerous western artists, I am greatly influenced by Indian art and architecture, calligraphy, Arabic art, Japanese paintings and fabric design. From vast palaces decorated with beautiful intricate patterns composed of gemstones and mirrors to delicate miniature paintings, from the gestural brush strokes of eastern calligraphy to 20th century textiles. I strive in my paintings to capture these qualities and to create something beautiful, evocative, delicate and carefully crafted.”

At Swansea Morriston hospital, Allen drew on the hospital’s location in the countryside just outside Swansea, with images of the landscape emphasising Morriston’s stepped hillside locations, featuring: Three Cliffs Bay; typical woodland valleys; hillsides; moorland and an image of sky framed by cherry blossom.

These distinct landscape categories play a role in the wayfinding strategy for the building: each floor of the building is curated to match the corresponding step in the landscape, with the ground floor featuring ground-level scenes such as the beach and the upper floors feature scenes of the sky.
