Brighton-based artist Henrik Simonsen's oil and charcoal canvases are truly superb works stemming from his observation of nature.

Of Scandinavian descent, Simonsen's rich heritage has influenced his art.

"My work derives from a fascination with nature," he says. "And nature is very much reflected in Scandinavian design. I definitely brought that with me to England."

He takes a few themes, such as birds in flight and tree trunks, and recreates them in varied form.

"The subjects of the drawings are picked up from nature - trees, plants and birds. There is a lesson to be learned from how nature is able to vary simple forms into the infinite."

Sections of tree trunks in forests are depicted in black and grey or against a rich, glossy, red background.

Shapes of trees and the roughness of bark are defined by heavy lines. In Flight 6, against a blue background, a group of ravens flies. The motif is evenly spaced and the sweep of the wings is almost felt to be emanating from the canvas.

A picture of Poppies is formed of black striations on the canvas for the stems with the red marks of the poppies' heads atop them. These are absolutely engrossing works.

Much of their effect comes from Simonsen's surface texture.

"I'm very aware of surfaces," he says. "I build the pictures up in layers. I do my sketching on canvas, which builds a history and you can see where decisions have been made."

Prints by Victor Pasmore dating from the Seventies to the Nineties are also on show. These abstract works are dominated by a single colour with a system of organic lines and marks that may be decoded according to one's own interpretation. They have the feel of unconscious maps.

Pasmore began his career as a figurative artist but, in the late Forties, his art was dramatically altered as he began producing abstract works.

By the Fifties, he had developed his own abstract style. Throughout his career, he was an influential teacher and made it his aim to bring abstract art to the general public.

Prior to Pasmore's death in 1998, the art historian Kenneth Clark described him as: "one of the two or three most talented English painters of this century." This is a rare chance to acquire such collectable prints.
