Marc Bergerman
Marc Bergerman uses natural materials usually in natural surroundings. Logs, stones, rocks... Sometimes carving haunting images which portray an apocalyptic vision of the future, sometimes using small almost minute pieces of stone to simply hint at a possible darkness to come. Many of his works at first appear impenetrable, but it is their ambiguity that gives them their power.
Nicola Hicks
Nicola Hicks is one of the foremost sculptors of her generation. She has had major solo shows in leading museums and galleries
in Britain and around the world, and has already been honoured with a MBE for her contribution to the visual arts.
Hicks' primary media are plaster and straw, and huge sheets of brown paper on which she works up her dynamic charcoal
drawings. Many of the sculptures have subsequently been cast in bronze, often with such subtlety that every fragile detail
of plaster and straw is reproduced.
Hicks' work often combines charm and menace in equal and sometimes devastating measures.
