Established Spanish painter and photographer Jesús Zatón works in a realistic style. He digitally manipulates photographs to create textures, new lighting, etc. His work focuses on landscapes and nudes, primarily female, which he treats with great delicacy, using lighting effects to attract attention.

In his own words: In my particular case I differentiate less each time concepts such as photography or painting in my work. In general my starting point is a photograph which through manipulations, inserting a texture, changing a color, etc, I create the base for a later phase in which I finish the piece painting it by hand (with the mouse). It could be said that my digital compositions are compositions of crossbreeding, of fusion, hybrid works in which the only concern is quality.

• Lucie Bennett

  Lucie Bennett’s work presents potent images of women in varying guises - as haunting sirens, alluring pin-ups and supernatural nymphets - but plays absorbing games with the viewer’s preconceptions of these deceptively familiar archetypes. Bennett’s images are sometimes confrontational, directly challenging the viewer. At other times, her women are elusive, oblivious to the viewer’s gaze, seemingly existing in an other-worldly space beyond the flawless surface of the paint.
