Mazarine Memon – Q&A

Mazarine Memon – Q&A

Mazarine Memon is a Neo-Impressionist painter living in Toronto, Ontario.  Memon was born in Bombay (Mumbai) to an eccentric, fun-loving, Zoroastrian (Parsee) family. By default, she is an endangered species as there are less than 70,000 Parsees left. Memon is of Iranian ancestry, Indian by birth, Italian at heart, and Canadian by choice. She works out of The Art Brewery, her studio where she is constantly embarking on new ventures and projects. Memon’s current project is an art book that will help artists ‘define their style’ and ‘overcome creative blocks’

Paul Ayers – Q&A

Paul Ayers – Q&A

Paul Ayers studied Fine Art at Falmouth College of Arts in the 1990s. He has exhibited his work in the Royal Cornwall Museum, Falmouth Art Gallery, the Discerning Eye Exhibition, the Royal College of Art, Victoria Art Gallery, Bath and the Royal West of England Academy of Art, Bristol.​ He is primarily a painter, although also explores ideas through printmaking and alternative photography (screenprinting, collagraphy and cyanotype).  In his painting practise he explores the physical qualities of oil paint and the myriad variety of textures, light effects, colour and illusions that can be achieved with them on a flat surface. So, while his work represents objects in the real world, he strives to give the painted surfaces of his works an intensity and physical presence.

I am a St Andrews based author, artist, curator, and bookmaker. In 2014 I established Entropie Books to publish small fine print editions of my poetry, literature, artist books, drawings, and pamphlets. My artistic and literary practice incorporates the arts of poetry, printmaking, bookbinding, typography, papermaking, and chine-collé to present my literary texts and abstract geometric drawings in an exact and deliberate visual form.

After a 27 year career in the City, Charles Binns decided to enrol at Central Saint Martins to study MA Contemporary Photography, Practises and Philosophies in 2018, graduating during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020. His art is about loss.  Loss of biodiversity, loss of pristine natural habitats and loss of cultural diversity. His practice asks how is it that humanity finds itself on the brink of environmental catastrophe and what does this say about us, both individually and collectively.

Hannah Debson – Q&A

As a photographic artist from London, Hannah Debson grew up surrounded by galleries and fashion publications that sparked her interest in the beauty of the human form. Debson studied history where she became fascinated by the human journey and the emotions that underpin all human activity. She began to look at the use of culture to express and construct the human experience and became inspired by how beauty and fashion can be part of this.
