Both Lapkovsky and Evdokimova have won many photographic awards including Professional Photographer of the Year and the International Photographic Awards and often work together. Their clients range from Bosch, The Sunday Times, Vauxhall, The Independent and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and regularly contribute to international newspapers and magazines.

Lapkovsky's collection of works in this exhibition juxtapose the surreal and the ordinary enabling the viewer to take a leap of imagination and look at our ordinary lives through the realms of fantasy.

The Ghost City Project offers a glimpse of the future that awaits our familiar urban environment, should global warming continue. This can be seen in 'London Ghost City 9', where the iconic image of Big Ben has a surreal decay about it (pictured).

In his black and white works 'Project 55-5' and 'Project 55-2', the artist's concept began with a close up of a violin player to illustrate the relationship between the artist and his instrument. This concept was expanded when two almost identical images were juxtaposed as a diptych, with vital elements changed to heighten the play on reality. In 'Project 55-5' the piano has been removed, so the pianist seems to 'play' the 'memory' of the piano. In the second 'Project 55-2' image, the artist continues to play the violin despite being nude, completely altering his personality from image to image.

Evdokimova's series 'Alter Ego' on the other hand depict the human body as an art work, offering the viewer glimpses, viewed through a veil of hand-made paper as though seen through an old and decayed wall, torn to review the naked flesh beneath. The figures are backlit, illustrating her mastery of chiaroscuro, and perhaps referring back to the Indonesian shadow puppets and magic lantern shows of yesterday.

This exhibition offers an unprecented opportunity to view these works by these leading contemporary photographers, alongside some 50 of Auguste Rodin's seminal bronzes. The nude studies of Eve, Age of Bronze and The Thinker all have a resonance with Evdokimova's studies.
