Pakpoom Silaphan channels a diverse range of influences to create works that tread the line between pop, high art and corporate advertising. Inspired by artists like Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali, Silaphan's work is a postmodern mash-up commentary of contemporary art in today's mega-branded, multimedia world.
Native Londoner Matt Small takes traditional portraiture and infuses it with the raw energy of the urban environment. Recording covert footage of passers-by, Small then paints directly onto metal sheets, giving his work immediacy and impact. These are images injected with colour, power and the spirit of the city. By painting young marginalised figures of society he allows the viewer to spend time with these urban characters in the hope that a shared sense of humanity arises, unrestricted by class and social boundaries.
South London born and bred, Remi Rough has been creating street art since before it had a name. His bold works cleverly combine the clean lines of Russian Constructivism with the raw energy of street art. Moving from the street to the gallery, Rough has exhibited everywhere from London to Tokyo, Los Angeles to Berlin.
Avigail Talmor's graphic prints depict structures which are purely functional; checkpoint booths, army tents, portable toilets and so on. She removes the surroundings and any inhabitants, leaving only empty and isolated shells. In doing so she reduces the structures to their purest form, raising questions about functionality. Talmor was born in Haifa, Israel in 1971, and now lives and works in Tel Aviv. Her work has featured in Time Out and The Sunday Times, and she has exhibited in London and New York.
Carla Nizzola lives and breathes her paintings. She splashes, drips, pours, scrapes and flicks paint in an energetic frenzy. Her canvases act as records of the performance; they are abstract narratives depicting a string of subconscious actions. Nizzola studied Fine Art at Lancaster University, and has since exhibited at galleries across the UK.
Paul Catherall reinvents the familiar with his colourful prints, putting a contemporary spin on icons of modern architecture. Classic and cutting-edge in equal measure, his linocuts draw on the golden age of poster design. This print celebrates London's magnificent Tate Modern, the power station-come-modern art gallery which is the most visited in the world.
Clouds? Frogspawn? Cappuccino foam? The bubble has long been an emblem of the fragility of life, and these ephemeral forms are captured just before they burst. Gorick’s oil paintings explore human anxieties and the fear of death. She is particularly interested in man-made spaces designed to intoxicate, such as shopping centres and casinos, which offer new but detached worlds.
“My paintings explore the relation between daily life and human nature. I perceive humanity as a chocolate cake, where beneath the ‘iced’ surface lay more intriguing and challenging mixtures, with fears and social pathology. Through the application and process of painting, I cut a piece of that cake to explore the nature of these problems.” – Bartosz Beda
Collage is typically a speedy process, yet David Fleming often spends months carefully constructing his works. He is painstakingly meticulous about each cut and line, tweaking every element until he reaches perfection. Does this print show the wing of a Red Admiral butterfly? Look a little closer and you can make out the stately guards and baroque carriage of a royal procession, as if seen through the lens of a kaleidoscope.
Jessica Little is fascinated by faces. Using vibrant colours and expressive marks, she transmits the unique personality of her muses through portraiture. Little says she is drawn to the energy emitted by her sitters. The dripping greys of this bespectacled sitter suggest a gloomy narrative, but the tropical colours which scream out from around her face hint at an energetic spirit lurking beneath the mask.
