The artist Salvatore Arancio explores beauty and sublime in nature and their relation with science. Interested in botany and geology and fascinated by the merging of myth and science in 19th century illustration, Arancio associates these notions with ideas of displacement and ambiguity. Employing a number of different media, including photography, video, etchings and photomontage, his work explores the state of suspension between the real and the fictional through an emphasis on construction and staging.

Salvatore Arancio was selected for New Contemporaries 2007 and has been included in group shows 'No Room for the Groom ' curated by Gregorio Magnani , Herald St, 2007 and 'SVO6' Studio Voltaire in 2006. Emily Candela graduated from Central St Martins School of Art in 2006, she lives and works in Los Angeles, US. Since her graduation she has been short listed for this years New Contemporaries and has exhibited in Novas Contemporary and The Jerwood Space, London in 2007.
