INSTANT_JESUS_005
'Instant_Jesus_005' is a personal reaction to living in a secular world but wanting a breathing god. These pictures are a search for religious conviction and a reaction to our 'pick and mix' culture of buying into the attractive teachings but leaving out the difficult ones.
Finding a way to express such a thing as belief through a photograph is never going to be easy. This exhibition uses both consumer products and religious images to express how worship sits within everyday living. The photographs are traditionally made on film and printed using a black and white technique called lithprinting, a process which replaces the cold sharpness of black and white with subtle colours and soft tones.
Nigel's editorial photographs are published in news and feature sections of national newspapers. He was one of the first photographers to marry digital cameras with mobile phone technology to supply instant news pictures. He works regularly on the picture desk of the Daily Mail. Nigel went to school in Wallingford and has lived in Abingdon for 20 years.
'Instant_Jesus_005' is Nigel's first solo exhibition and the first public viewing of this new work.

JOSEPHINE LYONS PRESS RELEASE
For her first solo exhibition at the Jam Factory in Oxford Josephine Lyons is to present new and recent paintings and sculptures. Regarded by many as one of the most promising young artists working in the UK this will be her first solo exhibition at the Jam Factory. The exhibition will showcase Oxford-based Lyon’s characteristically exuberant vision, her use of compelling and joyful imagery, and her unique engagement with art history.
I’m in love with the world presents a subjective and open ended narrative. It explores the way meaningful connections are created between disparate experiences and between works of art, using this to making one coherent work from a range individual ‘moments’. The notion of self portraiture is key to her work, as is the idea that a subject can be developed and understood through a series of different moments, motifs or images. In the exhibition Lyons treats each artwork as part of a greater whole, much as in an orchestra a violin or a cello contributes to the overall creation. Primarily a painter, Lyons is interested creating beautiful new forms and images and in creating work that is both complex and evocative, and accessible.
Lyons was encouraged to paint from the age of four. She was much influenced by her art teacher at Wimbledon High School, Calan Lewis, who sadly recently passed away, who asked her to paint what she felt, and thereby gave her a new language to communicate with. In addition she cites artists as varied as Tracey Emin, Roi Vareeri, Howard Hodgkin’s, Turner, Cranach, Picasso, Van Gogh, Matisse, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, and Regina Jose Galindo, as being important for her.
Editor’s Notes,
Josephine Lyons (born 1983, England) studied at Goldsmiths (2002-2006). She has exhibited in group exhibition in London and Oxford including, ‘Opera and art’ at Covent Garden Film Studios (2007).

THE ART BOOK/CALLING ALL ARTISTS!!
The purpose of the art book is to support and promote artists living and working in the Oxford and Oxfordshire area, allowing professional and semi-professional practitioners to display their Work in a publication with high production values
Our goal is to offer newest, sometimes most challenging work from across the region, and to expand the public perception of art, with the prospect to launch the careers of promising young artists.
By no means exhaustive, this selection will reflect a spectrum of current work carefully selected to showcase art and artists in Oxfordshire, with a fresh and original approach to Art.
Each artist will be represented by a colour image of a typical work (Half page, full page, double page) accompanied by text to illuminate the artist and its practice.
This Art publication will provide a fresh and original approach to Art, a unique visual source book, as well as a celebration of the rich and multi-faceted range of visual art culture in Oxford and Oxfordshire.
