Jamie Williams
One of the founding members and illustrator of the socio-political Ctrl Magazine, Wiliams transferred his bold, contructivist illustrations to the use of Fine Art, graduating from Huddersfield last year and has recently seen success with a solo show at Leeds' Brahm Gallery and a group show at the Camden Art Gallery. Informed by Dante and Milton, many of his works deal with how religious and mythological imagery linger in the subconscious of our largely atheist society, and the iconography that triggers this. He will be exhibiting this weekend at a night dedicated to the Divine Comedy - 'Experience Dante' at Robinson College, Cambridge University as part of their 800th birthday celebrations.

Sarah McNulty
Awarded a Master of Fine Art degree from the Slade in 2007, McNulty has since been shortlisted for the Celeste Art prize and the Jerwood drawing prize and has artist's books held in the collection of the V&A Museum and Slade Library. Her painting style heavily reduces its source material and derives heavily from the distribution of light rather than the establishment of form and object. on top of recent exhibitions in the Kingsgate gallery and Enders, she has this year been awarded the Ateliers Baztille, residency to live and work in Zoetermeer in the Netherlands, and will be exhibiting again in Enders and in an upcoming show in Scotland.

Aidan Doherty
Appearing this week in the prestigious Jerwood Contemporary Painting Award 09 and previously exhibiting at Saatchis new sensations and the Royal Academy Summer show, Wimbledon graduate Doherty's small canvases form beautiful and tactile abstract works and quiet hermetic worlds. Graduating in the same Wimbledon year as Amy Moffat, Doherty has previously been shortlisted for the Celeste Art prize and exhibited with the Vine space on Vyner Street.

Anna Boggon
RCA graduate and 2004 Times/South Bank awards Breakthrough Artist nominee Anna Boggon has exhibited in China, New Zealand, US, Italy, Bolivia and Paraguay in the last five years, and most recently in the central show of the Concrete and Glass festival last this October. She has previously taken up residencies from the Arts Council, the British Council and the Serpentine Gallery. These silhouettes are part of a new series of work which comprises of found and imagined images**get more on series and what she is doing this year.

Freya Douglas-Morris
Brighton Painting graduate and 2008 Marmite Award nominee Freya Douglas-Morris has in the last year shown in the London Art Fair with TAG Fine Arts, been in a group show with the Rebecca Hossack gallery and had a solo exhibition at the De Morgan Gallery. Her work is in the American Express collection and in 2006 she was commissioned by Taylor Wessing to produce a body of work for their London Offices. This painting is based partly on the Lido at London Fields, where the artist swims most days, but also inspired by colour tinted photographs of the many Lidos built in the 1950s in and around Berlin, where the artist spent a year in residency. Her next exhibition, of miniature works, will be at 16 Beauchamp Place in Knightsbridge on the 28th May.

Luke Montgomery
A graduate of Glasgow Art School with a first class degree in 2007, Montgomery has since exhibited in Low Salt Gallery in Glasgow and the Shunt Vaults in London. This piece explores common themes in the artist's work, including lines between the spiritual and the scientific and eye-catching features within ambiguous spaces. Montgomery's practice has in the last year extended to  sculpture and installation and will see him about to exhibit in Tunnel 228, a major show underneath Waterloo Station with artists Polly Morgan, Alastair Mackie, Slinkachu and the Chapman Brothers and organised by Kevin Spacey, Joe la Placa, British Rail and Punch Drunk Theatre.

Noj Barker
Previously a trained ballet dancer and the owner of a restaurant and bar, Barker first started painting on the 19th August 2007. His work shows influences of abstract expressionism, pointillism, Op Art and Newton's theory of color, while in practice an obsession and compulsion rendered in paint.  First he lays down fields of coloured spots.  Then he paints dots over those spots.  And then - as if that wasn't painstaking enough, he paints miniscule spots on top of those dots - hundreds and thousands of them. Noj's first solo exhibition in London last October sold out. Currently exhibiting in a group show curated by Flora Fairbairn, Noj is planning a solo exhibition in London later this year.

Paul Archard
Archard earned his bachelor degree in sculpture at Chelsea School of Art, before moving to live, work and exhibit in Los Angeles for several years. Since his return to London he has had a solo painting show 'Lost Signal' at Hiscox Art Projects and exhibited with Anna Boggon (above) in the central show of the Concrete and Glass Festival 08. His paintings have simple line drawings as their starting point. They come from nature observed and the man-made elements that are embedded in it. Using pale and silvery tones, the paint is built up and cut into, giving the work a textural depth that relates to his roots as a sculptor. Archard is currently painting for several summer group shows including 'METRO-LAND' in May.

Tamara Dubnyckyj
After graduating with a Masters degree from the Royal College of Art in 2007, Dubnyckyj was a prize-winner in the Mercury Art Prize and shortlisted for the Conran Foundation Award and gone on to exhibit in the Whitstable Bienniale, the Transition Gallery in the last two years. Last month she was interviewed in the art magazine Garageland and exhibited in Madame Lillies Gallery. Her work tends to collect places, times and atmospheres, often cropping in on corners and featuring lightness emerging from the dark. Spectator viewpoints are manipulated; sometimes the viewer plays an active part in the painting, and sometimes watching observation happening.

Will Bradley
After completing his Masters degree at Wimbledon last year, Bradley has already been exhibited in the 2008 Future Map at the David Roberts Foundation, a survey of the best graduates from the London art colleges and gone on to show at Maddox Arts last month where he will return for a solo show later in the year. Through
black gestural marks, William Bradley references the idea of quotation in order to subvert the importance of the authorial mark. By contrast the viscous paint drips reveal a combination of painterly intuition as well as the original design, creating a sympathetic critique of the tradition on which it comments. He is currently in the last six contenders for the high profile 2009 Catlin Art prize which will be decided at the prize exhibition from the 19th of May.

Amy Moffat
Wimbledon graduate and Channel4/Saatchi Sensations 2008 finalist Moffat’s oil paintings capture a mood of figurative ambiguity and a desire for the abstract. Taken from early 20th century archival photography their subjects are chosen as much for their formal structure as for their figurative meaning. For Amy, the process of re-interpreting this imagery into paint involves a stripping down of identity and context, leaving the painting as a notional representation that often calls on abstact tools of plains of colour and patterns. Exhibited at Flora Fairbairn's Salon show earlier this year, Moffat goes on to show at the Standpoint Gallery this July.
