------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GILL ROCCA SHOWS SELECTION OF NEW WORK EXCLUSIVELY WITH CAVALIERO FINN Gill Rocca, has given Cavaliero Finn an exclusive opportunity to offer our clients five new works from her Cabinet Painting series, for a limited period. Historically, since the 15th Century, Cabinet Painting is the term that has been given to small, highly finished works of art, typically no larger than about two feet in either dimension but often much smaller. Collectors would keep such paintings in a relatively small and private room, a cabinet or study, intended for individual use and contemplation, and to which only those on especially intimate terms would be admitted. These small paintings in Gill’s latest series depict a number of winter landscapes; Gill paints parks at twilight, deserted but for the warm glow of street lamps, motionless lakes at the first light of day and uninhabited snow-bound country lanes. Not a soul in sight, timeless, as if it has been that way for eternity. Only the glowing street lights hint at human presence. Gill Rocca has recently had three sell-out shows in London and exhibits widely in both solo and group shows all over Britain and the Continent. She gained a distinction in her MA in Barcelona and was tipped by the Daily Telegraph as an artist to invest in. Click here to view Gill's work. Prices start at £450.00. Gill will do commissions and the price is dependent on the size and nature of the work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRESS RELEASE ARCHIVE ART BY THE MASSES CAVALIERO FINN SHOWCASES THE WORK OF 20 ARTISTS & DESIGNERS IN ITS STUNNING HOME-CUM-GALLERY SHOW DATES: Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th May 2007, 11.00am – 6.00pm PRIVATE VIEW: Friday 11th May 2007, 6 - 9pm VENUE: Cavaliero Finn, 268 Croxted Road, Herne Hill, London SE24 9DA Tel:07941 200 300.

All the ‘must have’ original items for sale have been hand-picked by Cavaliero Finn from studios and art fairs around the country. All the participating artists exhibit their work nationally and the featured designers are widely acclaimed in their field.EXHIBITORS PAINTERS/FINE ARTISTS Chris Bennett Previously a first prize winner of The New Canadian Painting Competition, the primary focus of Chris’s work is to investigate the functions of images, signs and symbols, and their effectiveness to communicate information. Georgina Carless Cities, and the architecture and buildings within them, provide the inspiration for Georgina’s paintings. Though on first glance the paintings appear abstract, on closer inspection, the grid like patterns of the streets and the levels of high rise buildings become recognisable. These themes resonate alongside more conventional formal and aesthetic concerns of colour, space, light and dark. Working on the paintings over time, marks are built up layer upon layer and the lines and colour combine to create harmony and rhythm.Mia Cavaliero (not of Cavaliero Finn)The starting point in much of Mia's work is the grid. From here line, colour and light are given expression in her paintings. Mia builds up the surface of each of her pieces with layers of paint to create depth and meaning. Holly Frean Holly’s most recent work, the Postcard paintings, are part of an ongoing series about the art of looking. Each painting is a view of a section of her studio wall, now currently papered floor to ceiling with her art postcard collection. Juxtaposing certain postcards profoundly affects how she reads the imagery. Meanings change, colours change in relation to one another; this is reflected in the shorthand way they are painted Gill Rocca Jane Langley Jane’s sensual circular paintings are full of colour and decorative detail. Using the notion of 'craft' as a model, Jane combines iconography from a diverse range of influences. Linda Leroy Linda Leroy's paintings are mainly an expression of personal symbolism. Her most recent works are taken from the Haiku, a form of poetry popular in Japan, which is becoming more widely appreciated around the world. Thurle Wright Thurle's delicate, often dizzyingly repetitive and complex paper works stem from an interest in the systems and structures of language, in the ordering of knowledge, and in the storing and accessing words. She transforms pages from books, atlases, dictionaries, and newspapers into small, fragile units and reconstructs them into truly aesthetic structures and patterns, creating entirely new meanings. DESIGNERS Rose Cobb Practicality and function coupled with elegance are fundamental to Rose Cobb’s designs. While contemporary, Rose's work takes its lead from the past as she mixes the old with the new, giving traditional objects a unique twist to accommodate modern day living. Chris Duffy Chris' Glo-Canvas and Glo-Chadelier lighting, widely acclaimed in Milan this year, offers a clever and modern twist on traditional lighting. His Glo-Canvas at first appears as painting of a beautifully ornate chandelier but when switched on transforms into a stunning lighting feature. Liz Emtage Liz makes a range of stunning porcelain lighting. Each piece gently disperses a subtle light, highlighting Liz’s chosen natural form and surface decoration. She uses a range of organic materials, like rice, lentils, lavender and leaves to decorate each light. Like the paper, these burn out in the kiln, leaving a relief texture that allows even more light through, accentuating her chosen pattern. Becky Oldfield Becky takes her inspirational from the past. Marrying traditional and contemporary patterns, she creates an evocative range of cushions, blinds and many other products for the home. Her stunningly original blinds, perfect for any London pad, are inspired by the iconic double-decker Routemaster bus and feature the destinations of the bus routes themselves. CERAMICISTS Sophie Cook Currently throwing porcelain bottles and pods on the wheel, Sophie’s vibrant glazes embody subtle, sculptural shapes to create fluid, almost luminous forms, which suggest a contemporary feel to a traditional craft. Sam Dickenson Sam's ceramics are beautiful and tactile, aesthetic and functional. She takes her inspiration from the world around her - a china tea cup in a charity shop, a puddle on the ground, a piece of fruit sliced open, a fragment of wallpaper - all these simple things ignite her creativity. Sasha Gabbe Sasha creates intriguing and playful ceramics that blurs the boundaries between art, craft and design. She uses natural forms such as melons, pumpkins and squashes as inspiration for her work. Timea Sido Timea's fragile ceramics explore the delicate use of slip trailing to create beautiful sculptural pieces for contemporary living. Natural colours and forms inspire her work. Timea's Tangled Web Collection includes a variety of round ornamental bowls, plates, vessels and wall pieces, designed and created to complement one another, with each piece 'tangled' in its own unique way no two pieces are ever alike. Deborah Timperley Deborah loves textured fabrics and uses the juxtaposition of surface details such as the weave, frayed edges, stray threads, folds, seams and gathers, the controlled and the random, to create a composition. She also explores the way material drapes and hangs, either as abstract pieces or as dresses.Mizuyo Yamashita Mizuyo’s delicate porcelain ceramics are inspired from nature, the material and the process. Each of her delicate ceramic pieces is hand shaped and decorated with images drawn from nature. A use of butterflies and flowers, convey a sense of transience and fragility. So too does her choice of material, preferring to work with porcelain which she uses for its whiteness, fineness, softness (when wet) and sensitivity. SCULPTORS Jim Jack Jim produces beautifully crafted, layered, wooden sculptures. Jim meticulously constructs each of his sculptures laminating, gluing and dowling each layer of wood, which he pre-cuts, finishes and carves down with rasps files and a grinder. Tom Stogdon Tom works with several materials including, slate, metal, leaves and plants to create a range of stunning indoor and outdoor sculptures.

PRESS RELEASEAFFORDABLE, CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBITION COMES TO HAMPSHIREDATES: 8th - 24th April 2005 PRIVATE VIEW: Thursday 7th April, 6 - 9pm VENUE: Orchid Furniture, The Old Barn, Sandydown, Stockbridge, Hants SO20 6BY For two weeks only, Orchid Furniture, specialists in reclaimed teak furniture and Chinese antiques, is teaming up with London based, art and design consultancy, Cavaliero Finn to exhibit a selection of new art works by some of London's hottest artists and designers. Housed within the premises of Orchid, a magnificently restored 19th Century barn in the Hampshire countryside, visitors to the exhibition will be able to view the artwork hanging within the various room settings at Orchid furniture and imagine how it might look in their own homes. On display will be contemporary paintings, photography and ceramics priced from £65.00 to around £3,000.00. All the work for sale is hand-picked by Cavaliero Finn from studios and art fairs in and around London. All the participating artists exhibit their work nationally and the designers are regularly featured in the pages of lifestyle magazines such as Elle Deco and Vogue. Featured artistsGill Rocca Tipped in the Daily Telegraph as an artist to invest in, Gill takes her inspiration from the world around her. She captures on the canvas elusive moments in time - landscapes at dusk, vivid seascapes at different times of the day, clouds floating in the sky. Andrew Vass Andrew Vass makes drawings on location. His paintings and drawings are influenced by structures within the landscape and represent a feeling of space and movement. Using charcoal he draws the lines of motion that traffic leaves behind. A stretch of busy inner city road is just one inspiration for his stunning, abstract oil paintings. Although complicated in their construction, the paintings have a spontaneous feel to them, beautiful in their apparent simplicity. Colours peep through the surface, hinting at what lies beneath. Faye Haskins Faye's paintings are inspired by her travels in Asia . Her paintings draw from her interests in Buddhism and the images of Buddhas in all various states and forms. Both figurative and abstract in content, the surface of the paintings are built up over time, layer upon layer and have to be seen in the flesh for best effect. Faye's works are strong and serene and perfectly complement the furniture at Orchid. Katherine Palmers-Needham Katherine's colour, abstract paintings have a seductive quality which draws you to them. She engages herself with her materials and the beauty of colour. Painting on gesso, a surface that is as smooth as ice but also extremely absorbent, retains and records every mark made on the surface. She paints in a variety of colours and will do commissioned work tailor-made for her customer. Thurle Wright Thurle works primarily with paper and text. In her 'Memory Box' (which can be commissioned) each tiny map box alludes to a place and time significant to its owner. From London streets to far flung islands, the boxes stand together on the picture surface as they would on a page of a magic atlas. Memory boxes are totally unique and make an ideal anniversary, birthday or wedding gift. Juliette Foy Juliette's photographs appear on first glance to look like fine drawings. Reworking the traditional still life composition and subject matter, she brings the image into the twenty-first century with a contemporary and minimal elegance. Juliette's photographs were recently chosen to hang in the flagship store of Ralph Lauren in London as a back drop to the new collection. Ian Stallard Like some of the stunning furniture housed in the showrooms of Orchid, Ian's ceramics fuse the simple with the opulent, modern with traditional. Six dragon heads guard the otherwise plain form of the dragon vase and it is this juxtaposition which makes it so unique. East meets West as the detailed heads stand out in stark contrast to the simple contemporary body of the vessel. Ian's work is regularly featured within the pages of lifestyle magazines and has been shown in London and New York. Sam Dickenson Sam's ceramics are beautiful and tactile, aesthetic and functional. She takes her inspiration from the world around her - a china tea cup in a charity shop, a puddle on the ground, a piece of fruit sliced open, a fragment of wallpaper - all these simple things ignite her creativity. Sam has won numerous awards, including the Prince's Trust start-up award and best new product at the design fair Pulse at Earl's Court. In 2003 she was short-listed for Elle Deco accessory of the year award. ends
