Rogue Gene Collective

Rogue Gene Collective is a small group of artists who are committed to helping each other attain a higher level of visibility for their work. We do this by networking; pooling resources, information, knowledge and contacts. There are currently six members, and five guest artists.

As well as being artists, all members act as agents, couriers and publicists for the other members. The members have been chosen to be different in locale, gender, education, artistic genre and preferred technique. This means we offer a wide variety of quality original artwork to the collector, occasional buyer or corporate buyer.

View the recent art uploaded by our members and guests.

Members

The current members are:

Aitch Acrylic abstracts with a particular love of precise shapes and patterns combined with instinctive painting.
Amanda Hunt Acrylic landscape, seascape and abstract artist.
Andrea Farmer Fine artist creating expressive abstract and ethereal landscape paintings.
Kosana Marton Scottish artist specialising in acrylic, mixed media and watercolour paintings.
Mike Finley Fine art photographer, primarily monochrome floral and landscape photography.
Rob Kirbyson Fine artist in acrylics and oils with a keen interest in the environment.

Guests

We like to feature guest artists on our site for periods of time. These are artists who have caught our attention for some reason, and add to the diversity of work shown on this site. The selection of guests changes from time to time.

Peter Williams is our most recent guest. He creates photo realistic pencil work and lively, dramatic watercolours.
Cathy Savels Fine artist combining traditional painting with the use of other materials such as string, paper and cloth.
John Luce Lockett Painter and artistic anatomist, working predominantly in oils.
Cliff Warner Fine artist creating contemporary figurative artwork.
Headcrime Graphic artist creating cover artworks for heavy metal bands and subgenres.

WIP - Little Bit of Red

by Aitch
Here's an image of my latest Work-in-progress, a small canvas which will come complete with an easel, slightly larger than my "mini" paintings, but still not as large as the other paintings in this series that I've done ("A Bit of Orange/Blue/Purple/Brown"). The canvas itself measures 16cm x 12cm. Painted using varying hues of red acrylic paint, this is the second stage of the painting. I am

To change or not to change….

To change or not to change….…my ‘artist’ name after recently getting re-married, was the question.

Each one measures 14cm diameter and they have been hand painted and embellished by me. I will soon be uploading these and others to my Etsy store.

Sold - wooden trinket box.

by Aitch
I sold "Africana" last weekend - this little wooden trinket box which I decorated with Decopatch. I sold it to my Mother, which I think doesn't really count because she is biased about my work - but I'm also sure that she wouldn't spend money on something she didn't really like so that fact balances it out for me! It will be used as a jewellery box by her. My sister also bought one of my new

Wolds Village Spring Open Exhibition

by Aitch
I recently dropped off my two entries for the Spring Open Exhibition at Wolds Village in Bainton, and had a little mooch around their gift shop too. Keith couldn't resist buying some edibles and I was sorely tempted by a whole range of craft items - not just for me, but for creating things with Matheea, Evie and Charlotte, too. (In case you don't know, Matheea and Evie are my two grand-daughters
