Style of Wight visited Matthew Chambers at his studio at Jubilee Stores on Newport Quay. Here on the island we have a young artist who makes unique sculptures in clay and his work is unforgettable with a truly individual style like no other.

Style of Wight visited the highly successful marine artist Martyn Mackrill, at his cosy home and studio in Freshwater, where he lives with his wife and three children. Apart from his family, the great love of his life is 'Nightfall', the gaff rigged cutter that he owns and has painstakingly restored. He has had seven one-man shows in London galleries, several group shows across the world and his work is owned by many important yacht clubs and individuals including Princess Anne and Prince Hendrik of Denmark to name but a few. For the past five years he's been with the prestigious Messum's Art Gallery in Cork Street, London where his work sells for up to £32,000.

So what is beauty really all about? Is there a purpose or a use for it? I went to Vogue’s fashions night out in London where at Browns Store Robert Rowland-Smith, an Oxbridge Master of philosophy from The School of Life, gave us a Talk on the thinking behind beauty. The evening buzzed with fashionistas from every part of the industry including the senior fashion editor of Vogue whose talk on this season’s styling was complementary to the evening’s entertainments. So what of beauty...?

The second summer madness concert took place at Carisbrooke fields on August Bank Holiday Sunday. The event had an intimate festival feel. Bands played to chilled out crowds taking the time to relax in the early evening sun under the spectacular backdrop of Carisbrooke Castle.

When you think of the Quay Arts Café, you probably think lunchtime snack after wondering around the gallery, but there special gourmet evening menu provides a more organic taste.
