Alveston Fine Arts is an eclectic art space based in London’s Notting Hill. Founded by Fergus Downey in 2016, the focus has always been on discovering emerging artistic talent and giving back.

Born 1968 in Rotherham, UK, Jason Brooks studied at Cheltenham Art School and Goldsmiths, before obtaining an MA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design. Brooks is closely associated with the generation of artists who emerged in Britain in the early nineties to great international acclaim and he is known for images which intensify the portraiture process more than any photographic medium.

Born in 1973, Oliver Akers Douglas is an artist best known for his dramatic interpretations of the British landscape - a reputation that has made him one of the most collectable living artists working today.

Oliver’s paintings are bold, distinctive and vividly convey the idea of place. He spends a great deal of time searching for the scenes that convey a dynamism and beauty that appeal to him. His work is rooted in direct experience and is predominantly executed en plein aire.

Artist Dan Hollings was chosen by Saatchi Art as one of 34 artists from Europe and America to invest in – less than a month after graduating from Falmouth University.

Teddy’s artwork emphasises the importance of laughter, celebrating happiness and silliness through his surreal creations. His pieces are meant to be taken at face value, designed solely to make you smile and remind us to enjoy the art experience.

Gary lives and works in Dorset. He is Vice President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI), where he has been awarded The Frank Herring Easel Prize for an outstanding work. He sits on the council of the Society of Graphic Fine Art (SGFA) where he has twice been awarded Best in Show at their annual exhibitions and is an elected member of The Arborealists. He writes regularly for Resurgence & Ecologist magazine and the Dorset Magazine.

Natasha is an emerging visual artist deeply passionate about creating art that not only speaks to the soul but also respects the world we live in. She works as sustainably as she can using recycled materials to craft abstract pieces that are inspired by the rhythm of urban life and the beauty of architecture. Each piece reflects her belief in art as a bridge between modern life and environmental consciousness.

Percy Lizzard studied at the Royal College of Art, tutored by some of the leading contemporary artists of the time. His paintings, which often feature brightly- coloured birds, fish and plants are influenced by the natural world and far-away destinations.

His work can be found in many private collections at home and abroad.

Alongside maintaining her own practice, Helen lives and teaches art in Dorset.

Originally trained in printed textiles, Helen’s drawings seek to depict the detail, structure and tone of natural form, particularly folds and creases, fur and texture. Her collages explore found/accidental colour and pattern.

Drawing animals started after a trip to Morocco and some close encounters with camels, so majestic and proud, with their beautiful eyes and snooty faces!

And it has gone on from there, with many pet portrait commissions completed in a variety of media, and anything new is a welcome challenge.
