Christina Kimeze – interview: ‘Making art has been the only consistent thing in my life’

As she holds her first institutional UK solo show, at the South London Gallery, Kimeze explains why, after gaining a degree in biology, she enrolled at the Royal Drawing School, and how literature and roller-skating colour her work

Karolina Albricht, Basil Beattie and Lizzie Munn – interviews: ‘What abstract painting means to me’

Three artists talk about the paintings they are exhibiting in the Saatchi Gallery’s Unreal City: Abstract Painting in London

Basil Beattie – interview: ‘passageway, corridor, ladder, staircase, tunnel: they are all words I use metaphorically with regard to other human experiences’

Rooted in abstract painting, Basil Beattie has for many years developed a uniquely powerful vocabulary of metaphoric images

Karolina Albricht – interview: ‘I was fascinated by how an image plays on different levels: an image that describes something, and an image that can transcend, perhaps, and provide access to the divine’

Albricht discusses her ambitious multi-part painting inspired by the Eastern European tradition of Icon painting

Lizzie Munn – interview: ‘Composing them on a wall, rather than being held in the plane like a painting, the layers are more actual than illusionistic’

A recent graduate of the Royal Academy Schools, Lizzie Munn works between printing, painting, sculpture and installation
