BANKSY
Perhaps the most famous figure in street art working today, Banksy is known for urban interventions that demonstrate irreverent wit and a biting political edge. Enhancing his mystique by maintaining an anonymous identity, the artist has modified street signs, illegally printed his own currency, and illicitly hung his own work in the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art. He often uses spray paint and stencils in his critiques of consumerism, political authority, terrorism, and the status of art and its display. His street art, installations, and studio-produced works have been shown in Los Angeles, New York, London, Bethlehem, and beyond. His art has been subject to widespread interest on the secondary market and has fetched eight figures at auction.

Katia Bellini
After traveling extensively around the world Katia decided to make the UK her home and that is now where she spends her time exploring nature and using that inspiration for her artwork.
When Katia paints she has an overwhelming feeling to balance abstraction and representation while using traditional and contemporary oil painting techniques at the same time. Katia will often try to evoke a specific mood or an atmosphere and often a sense of mystery and complexity. As each painting evolves Katia is always thinking in terms of harmony of colour and composition as well as vibrancy or muted quality of oil paint. The use of visible brushstrokes and somewhat unfinished quality is of great importance to Katia as it gives an added dimension to her work.

Daniel Byrne
Daniel explores the potential of breaking free from the confines of static, ordered singularity.
Daniel’s early work was in reaction to the macabre in Victorian butterfly displays and inspired by his desire to breathe life into them. Daniel replaced uniformity with movement and created hand-cut compositions that appeared to be breaking free of their frames.
Each piece begins with a two-dimensional image and evolves into a three-dimensional object: fabricated in paper-based materials by hand, using a unique blend of 5 (or however many) precision processes.

The Connor Brothers
This obsession with truth and fiction is the golden thread that runs throughout the life and work of the Connor Brothers and is particularly relevant in the current climate of fake news, post-truth and social media.
The brothers create retro style figurative images which encourage us to challenge our assumptions and preconceptions, and as a result to perhaps see the world a little differently. Their interest in undermining our assumptions and casual acceptance of cultural norms is reflected in their extraordinary background.

Charlotte Cornish
Charlotte Cornish is a distinguished artist who studied Fine Art Printmaking at Brighton and pursued postgraduate studies at the Slade and Central St. Martins in the 1990s. She stands as one of the leading figures in the contemporary abstract printmaking movement.
Her artistic vision is deeply influenced by her extensive travels in Central America and the Far East. Drawing inspiration from her experiences, Cornish's work is a captivating blend of elements from the observed world and her own emotional responses.
Cornish's fascination with paint and its diverse possibilities is evident in her choice of acrylic as her preferred medium. The medium's quick-drying nature allows her to build up layers of thinly poured paint, creating a contrast with directly applied, thicker marks. The meticulous process involves waiting for each layer to dry before introducing new marks, providing her with the flexibility to modify or remove sections without impacting the underlying layers. Each painting takes approximately eight weeks to complete.

Matt Eley
“As you begin to fill the sheet of paper with your ideas, you are truly in the purest creative zone. Sometimes writing a single word can steer you in a completely different creative direction, which allows you to develop fresh and unexpected solutions. Although the process can be chaotic and random, the moment you scribble an idea that solves the brief – you know it. A few lines, a word or two – just enough to prompt your mind’s eye to see what it can be when nurtured to its full potential.
In the days or weeks that follow this, despite the process still being creative, the excitement and immediacy of these initial ideas is never repeated. All of the development work that follows, colour palettes, typefaces, formats, timings, reviews and roll-outs are essentially the measured execution of the initial spark. That’s what this work is about, letting the ‘sparks’ take centre stage in their unvarnished form.”

Chuck Elliott
Chuck Elliott (b. 1967, Camberwell, London) is a pioneer of digitally generated art. He claims to have used the first Apple Macintosh imported to the UK in 1984, the same year Apple launched the computers with their now infamous Orwellian advertising campaign.
Acquiring his own machine in 1989, he has been drawing, sculpting, editing and compositing digitally ever since. Graduating in 1992, he founded a succession of small, successful studios in London. In 2005 he moved to Bristol, where he now works full time on his sublime, fluid studies in light, colour, motion and liquid geometry.
Delighting in the machines' ability to hone and craft sculptural drawings, render, edit, mix, cut, paste, sculpt, and re edit, colour spaces are manipulated, light levels finely tuned, and a myriad of images and series of derivations are produced, using processes analogous to the way in which modern music is realised.
Chuck Elliott is reinterpreting the essence of abstract fine art printmaking for the digital age. Pure logical progression.

Alison Johnson
Alison's atmospheric oil paintings are vibrant and seductive and focal points for any space. By expressing the power of light playing amongst the water drops, this artist shows the abstract, surreal side of the natural world.
Her seascapes follow a deep tradition that Johnson modernises and brings to the contemporary forefront. Colours sink below a piercing white surface as oceans and landscapes drift in and out of a sweeping hazy mist.

James McQueen
Supercharged with colour, McQueen’s book-themed artworks create an effect not dissimilar to the giant playing cards in Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Taking an object you can hold in your hands and blowing it up into something you can hang on your wall has been a long-time fascination of the artist, who seeks to capture the look and feel of vintage books via layers of stripped-back paint. An avid collector, he can often be found amongst the dusty shelves and secret backrooms of old bookshops in New York and London.
Using paint and a spray can, McQueen light-heartedly subverts the traditional representation of book covers through his tongue-in-cheek titles and bold, contemporary aesthetic. The subject of books – explored by artists including the American illustrator Norman Rockwell – is given a modern feel through the incorporation of graffiti elements. Inspired by artists like Rothko, these urban touches elevate the vintage, distressed feel of the book covers, adding texture and challenging their history. McQueen adds: "I want to create that wear and tear, that authenticity. It’s too easy to do something clean. It’s too easy to do something with straight lines. It’s much harder to make something look old and tired."

Oli Mumby
The rural setting and landscape of Derbyshire and the Peaks drew Oli away from London, and it’s this landscape which the artist continues to draw upon today. Captivated by colour and form, Oli makes his work in response to the inherent beauty he sees within his surroundings. And ‘seeing’ is a critical point for the artist’s practice. Oli’s work is concerned with the notion of looking more intensely and truly appreciating the world around us - how light, colour, and space really work; how together they shape our experience of the world, and how rewarding it is to record and represent this intense ‘seeing’ through art.
Oli works predominantly in pastel, enjoying the directness and physicality of the medium and process; blending a distinctive palette of colour and building layers, often in collage - using pastel worked into paper.

David Shrigley
Born in Cheshire in 1968, Shrigley started studying art at Leicester Polytechnic in 1987 before heading to Glasgow School of Art for his degree in environment art in 1988, a time when he believed “there wasn't a precedent for people selling work that wasn't figurative painting.” Shrigley believes he is an outsider to the art world for his flat compositions taking on the inconsequential, the bizarre, and the disquieting elements of daily life.
Inspired by a simplicity of sorts, David Shrigley’s art is recognisable for his flat compositions accompanied by satirical comments on mundane, everyday situations. Perhaps featuring a cartoon elephant, penguins, basketballs or people, Shrigley finds himself influenced by the animated spirit of contemporary visual culture.
David Shrigley’s cartoon-like characters are accompanied by his humorous and witty narratives, leaving the onlooker lost in the satirical world of David Shrigley. Known to challenge boundaries in the artworld,
