Review the biographies of the artists we have chosen below.

Andy Warhol

Born on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Andy Warhol was a successful magazine and ad illustrator who became a leading artist of the 1960s Pop art movements. He ventured into a wide variety of art forms, including performance art, filmmaking, video installations and writing, and controversially blurred the lines between fine art and mainstream aesthetics.
When he graduated from college with his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1949, Warhol moved to New York City to pursue a career as a commercial artist. It was also at this time that he dropped the "a" at the end of his last name to become Andy Warhol. He landed a job with Glamour magazine in September, and went on to become one of the most successful commercial artists of the 1950s. He won frequent awards for his uniquely whimsical style, using his own blotted line technique and rubber stamps to create his drawings
Warhol died on February 22, 1987, in New York City

Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein was one of the first American Pop artists to achieve widespread renown, and he became a lightning rod for criticism of the movement. His early work ranged widely in style and subject matter, and displayed considerable understanding of modernist painting: Lichtenstein would often maintain that he was as interested in the abstract qualities of his images as he was in their subject matter. However, the mature Pop style he arrived at in 1961, which was inspired by comic strips, was greeted by accusations of banality, lack of originality, and, later, even copying. His high-impact, iconic images have since become synonymous with Pop art, and his method of creating images, which blended aspects of mechanical reproduction and drawing by hand, has become central to critics' understanding of the significance of the movement

Eleni Gagoushi

London Artist Eleni Gagoushi's spectacular works have won over the hearts of international who's who from TV Presenter and ex world champion seeded tennis player-Pat Cash, music icons [Iron Maiden], Paul Weller, Paul Young, Billy Duffy from the Cult to name just a few, with her magical water colour paintings on canvas. Eleni first started painting murals in her home, but following a fire that destroyed all her Artwork and Home. She began painting on canvas for the first time and quickly received recognition for her originality and creativity.
At present Eleni has a collection of 19 canvases plus a collaborated one piece of Art with Lee Ryan. Lee is an ex boy band member of Blue.
Eleni's passion has always been to capture her colourful dreams and reflect them into her fine paintings, some are angels that are hidden in the lush fantasy woodlands, to her more new Abstract forms.

Ben Lowe

Ben Lowe (British b. 1976) creates thought-provoking artwork that explores human emotions. His work straddles different artistic styles, using figurative and landscape elements to provide context, and layers of abstraction to capture atmosphere and feelings of emotion. Lowe’s variety and depth of source imagery, coupled with his command and subtle use of different styles, results in complex but accessible artwork that is both rewarding and evocative. Ben Lowe lives and works in London. In 2009 he participated in BBC2's School of Saatchi and, as a result, exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery, London. He has gone on to exhibit at Galerie Nathan Koestlin, Berlin and has work hanging in collections throughout the World.

Bill Butcher

Bill Butcher is an innovative Artist Illustrator, particularly well known for his work in the Times “How to Spend It” magazine.
Since graduating, he has carved a unique career in the UK and abroad for his stunning illustrations for leading publications and companies including the Financial Times, The Economist, Phaidon Books, Moet Hennessey and the Wall Street journal amongst many others.
He has completed several important public and private commissions & exhibited widely in group and solo shows since graduating from Maidstone College of Art.
His aim has always been to strive to make the idea the focus of the illustration to tell the story and is in constant demand both in the UK and in the USA.

Nathan Bowen

Nathan Bowen is a street artist that transforms old wasted street spaces into new colourful and creative spaces. He gives the streets an artistic reincarnation, making them look vibrant and eye catching to members of public as they walk by.
He calls this ‘After Lives’ an art movement which gives the streets invention and a creative re- birth by producing artwork on building sites and derelict walls. He studied at Central Saint Martins School of Art at the early age of 17, Nathan left school a year early without completing his A levels and it was at Central Saint Martins he had learnt how to experiment with art using different mediums and materials.
Nathan has collaborated with various commercial companies such as Schwarzkopf, GHD and Borough Market. In 2012 his Demon Soldiers featured in an advert along side with fashion model Pixie Geldof for the 'Fashion Targets Breast Cancer' campaign. He also appeared on BBC's 'The Apprentice', where his artwork was sold and showcased for a task set by the candidates that starred in the show.
He is also known for his unique, fast and dynamic approach to art, a courageous artist that works in the streets. He uses the streets as a gallery, by that way he believes that everyone gets to see his work, it's free to look at and the people who aren't really interested in art still get to see it because his artwork becomes a part of everyday life.

Steve Edwards

I am currently interested in landscapes, and in particular cityscapes of London. Living in London for 30 years has given me many opportunities for observing the city and its multi-various moods. As this thematic series has grown, I have become interested in the dialogue between the sky and the buildings beneath.
The etched lino technique that I have developed has lent itself to representing natural elements such as water and clouds, and so many of my pictures have those elements in them. Over the years, a completely unconscious fascination for bridges has revealed itself.
Biography
I was introduced to printmaking in 1980 whilst studying for a BA in Textile Design at Camberwell. I took up printmaking again in 1998 at the City Lit and fell in love with etching. I joined East London Printmakers in 2003, which gave me access to a well-equipped studio and a vibrant artistic community. I started experimenting with lino in 2005, and this has now become my main mode of expression. I joined Greenwich Printmakers in 2011 and the Printmakers Council in 2013.

Laurent Dequick

This 40 year old photographer is an architect by profession. There are signs of this in his work as it is first of all a reflection on contemporary cities and more specifically about the proliferation of modern urban space. Laurent Dequick’s purpose is to accurately convey an impression of frenzy which results from a density of population and activity in urban areas:
“Along the streets, the lights, the noise, the traffic, the swarms of pedestrians, the blend of smells, are so fascinating that no single shot can entirely capture it. Do choices have to be made? I don’t think so; I don’t want to…”
To translate this urban life “congestion” into an image, the photographer does not shy away from the juxtaposition, superposition or inlaying of shots. With the same intensity he overlaps photographs representing architectural complexes, main traffic routes and people. He condenses the images like the city condenses the sum of its inhabitants’ lives. Dequick’s style is reminiscent of cubism in its execution close to abstraction and in his representation of permanent movement.

Eliza Southwood

Former architect, studied at Glasgow School of Art and now a full time artist, specialising in printmaking, painting and illustration. Recent clients include Rapha, Magma, Bloomsbury, Laurence King Publishing, Sustrans and the V&A Museum. I exhibit regularly at the Affordable Art Fair with East London Printmakers and Gas Gallery, and currently have prints on display at the Old Cafe, Foyles and the Rapha CC Gallery in Manchester.

Lynne Blackburn

Lynne Blackburn is an experienced printmaker, exhibition artist and screen print editioner. She owns and runs her own screen printing company – Hippo Screenprinters – from her studio near Chelmsford in Essex.
Lynne’s work explores the memories and history embedded within familiar places and buildings – the human traces left behind in, and on, buildings, from the visual traces to subconscious and psychological ones. She is interested in how the ordinary and mundane of the everyday show and mark the passing of time and how, recording traces of personal memory, a sense of a broader social and historical memory is evoked. Lynne is fascinated by the transitory nature of the built environment; the stories that exist within it and the décor and detritus of modern cities.
Lynne’s prints begin as digital photographic observations of her surroundings which are taken as a way of recording these places as they are and the traces of how they were. The compositions are intuitive and the low resolutions of the photographs gives the feeling of a snapshot. By their nature these images are disposable, usually viewed then deleted. These impermanent images are taken through a lengthy process of digital deconstruction and reassembly, and then printed, by hand, as multi-layered screen prints. This process is an attempt to substantiate and objectify them; to give them supplement memories of a place and to recapture experiences had there.

Soozy Barker

Soozy Barker is well known for her absorbing and atmospheric landscapes which challenge the viewer’s perception, leading them into the dream-like world of her imagination..
Soozy Barker is  an experienced professional artist specialising in producing contemporary mixed media art works designed to enhance interior design themes within private homes and corporate environments. 
She is also Director of the Barker Gallery Eton, which has been meeting client's needs for quality affordable art for over 15 years.
She was initially trained as an artist by her Father, Jon Barker, whose own work is published internationally.  However she has developed her own unique style and specialist techniques using a variety of media.
Her Directorship of the Barker Gallery keeps her in touch with trends and fashions within the art and interior design world. Exhibiting regularly at major art fairs keeps her in tune with client's needs and expectations.
As Soozy says "I feel that my talent as an artist combined with my appreciation for what clients are looking for places me in a unique position. I can provide a service which is unequalled in terms of understanding a brief and providing value for money. I enjoy the process of meeting my clients, visiting their homes and working together on defining and refining a brief then executing a work of art that meets their ultimate approval."

Neil Dawson

Neil furthered his artistic education at Central Saint Martins College in London and continues to learn on a daily basis in the studio.
He found his course at Central Saint Martins very interesting and enjoyable although a change in direction saw him pursue a career in banking and he worked in the City after university, not picking up a paintbrush for many years.
It was an extended period of travel that rekindled Neil's love of art. Whilst travelling, his camera was his artistic outlet as he tried to capture elements of his new, exciting surroundings.
When Neil got home, he dusted off the palette and paints in an attempt to recapture some of the sights and experiences from his time abroad.
He quickly realised how much he had missed creating art and hasn't looked back since.
Neil’s subject is the urban environment and he continues to develop work inspired by the colour, vibrancy and energy of the city, which is constantly evolving and in a state of flux.

Paul Kenton

A pivotal moment in the young Paul Kenton’s life was a move from his birth place in Derby to the West Country when he was eight years old. As a teenager he learnt to surf on the wild beaches of North Devon. Now settled in Ilfracombe with his Brazilian partner, Alexandra and two young daughters, Paul still surfs when he’s not in the studio or enjoying the hectic pandemonium of family life.
Paul showed an interest in painting from an early age; while others wanted to be doctors or pilots he clearly remembers telling a friend that he wanted to be an artist. This was cemented when, at the tender age of twelve, he won a national colouring competition - winning a prized set of paints. He continued to draw and paint all through school becoming proficient in watercolour but was disappointed not to be awarded a place at art college due to his English grades.
In 1995, supported by a grant from the Princes Youth Business Trust, he took the plunge and started to paint full-time and began exhibiting. Working in acrylic and oils he took inspiration from his worldwide travels; the cityscapes, cafes, harbours, bridges and seascapes.
 Like the impressionist paintings before him, Kenton strives for his paintings to create a mood, evoke a feeling or reflect a myriad of emotions; with free shapes, mixed media, dripped lines and colour.
Citing the early work of Monet as a great influence in his art, Kenton focuses on the accurate depiction of light in his work; often painting similar scenes at different times of the day, from an early dawn across the Thames to a balmy Parisian dusk.
Exploring moods and feelings are the backbone of Kenton's creations, very often painting places he has visited throughout his life; Kenton tries to relive his feelings and memories of those cities, portraying them on canvas. Kenton's technique is extremely free and unplanned, forgoing sketching and planning in favour of the immediacy of diving into the heart of the painting.

Lawrence Coulson

At the age of 21, Lawrence's father encouraged him to have a go at painting and set him the exercise of copying a Victorian landscape. He gave Lawrence a few tips and pointers but then left him to get on with it.
Lawrence enjoyed the processes of trying to match his stumbling technique to what this old master had created, and the end result was proficient enough to encourage him to do more.
In 2003, Lawrence was awarded as the Best-Selling Published Artist by the Art & Framing Industry Business Awards, hosted by The Fine Art Trade Guild. The previous year, Lawrence also won the Up & Coming Artist award. 
 Lawrence is hugely influenced by his local landscape. Living on the edge of the Cambridgeshire fens, everything is dominated by the huge skies and endless horizons.
There are large empty vistas punctuated by just the trains of telegraph poles or the odd church spire. Dramatic sunsets amplified by the flat skyline are reflected in the wetlands, doubling the effect. Heavy stormy skies become even more threatening due to their sheer size. All of this has provided Lawrence with a wealth of reference material to draw upon.

Stephen Simpson

Wanting to understand the art world, after obtaining his degree in Fine Art Stephen accepted an internship and then a full-time position at Christie's.
Four years at the world's leading auction house provided him with an opportunity to see some treasured works of art and to work with leading specialists in the art world, broadening his knowledge and inspiring him greatly; so much so that he felt brave enough to embark on painting as a career.
When Stephen plans a painting, he likes to sit at his desk with his sketch book and photos, and focus on the elements he finds interesting before turning his hand to a quick sketch. He then loosely transfers this sketch directly onto canvas using graphite.
He then paints in the outlines of the key elements and captures the sea's emotion. He enjoys working in acrylic as it allows Stephen to work quickly and build up layers, which create depth of colour and a range of textures from very thin-washed to impasto where the paint appears to come out of the canvas.

Marvel

In collaboration with several artists, most notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, Stan Lee co-created Spider-Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor, the Silver Surfer, The Avengers and many other fictional characters for Marvel.
Lee led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation during an era now referred to as The Marvel Revolution.
In 1984, Stan Lee was awarded The National Medal of Arts by the United States Congress, the highest honour awarded to an individual artist in the United States.  Previous recipients include Georgia O'Keefe, William de Kooning and Bob Dylan.
 Stan Lee’s Marvel Revolution extended beyond the characters and storylines, to the way in which comic books engaged the audience and created a community between the readers and the creators.
Additionally, he pioneered and advocated the use of comic books to comment on social issues of the time, including bigotry, injustice and discrimination.
This got him into some hot water with the rather conservative Comics Code Authority but Stan wouldn't yield, he continued to pursue what he believed in and what he knew his audience wanted; thus the code changed.
There is a long established heritage for contemporary sequential art which represents the struggles, the triumphs, the trials and the wonder of the human condition. Whilst comic books take this to a level of fantasy, we can see through Stan Lee’s work the desire and motivation to ground these narratives in reality; enabling each and every one of us to relate to the messages being conveyed.

Louis Sidoli

Louis Sidoli’s fusion of different artistic mediums and inspiring techniques demonstrates that he is a talent who likes to push the boundaries and challenge the concept of what art is, and what it can do.
Louis Sidoli comes from an artistic Anglo-Italian family and displayed an aptitude for art at an early age. However rather than taking the traditional art school route, he carved out a successful design career in the car industry for over 15 years, working for well known brands such as BMW, Mini and Land Rover. His commercial experience in the auto industry was in fact to become the building block for his artistic techniques. “Working in car design really taught me about the processes involved in making desirable things that people want” says Sidoli who believes his affinity for 'high tech' artistic mediums was developed as a result of his product design background. Sidoli grew up absorbing the pop culture, album cover art & music videos of the 1970’s & 80’s which along with an enduring fascination with Andy Warhol, has had a powerful impact on his work. Warhols high-contrast silkscreen prints and simple graphic elements remain one of the key influences on his work.
He has achieved considerable acclaim since his late arrival on the art scene. A commercially successful artist, he was signed to he was signed to the UK’s largest art publishing company, Washington Green, immediately after his very first collection of art in 2007. His work is owned by collectors worldwide including high-profile figures such as Liam Gallagher (Oasis), Ozzy Osbourne, Ali Campell (UB40) and fashion designer Henry Holland. His artistic exploration of popular culture is evolving the genre that began with Warhol, as he carries on his printmaking legacy today through the experimental use of innovative new materials & technology.
Louis Sidoli's body of work fuses elements from the conceptual and pop art traditions. His iconic portraits often utilise authentic photos from popular culture history and graphic elements appropriated from a variety of different sources such as newspapers, memorabilia and public records. He describes this process of taking things that are not considered to be art and then presenting them as art as "Taking trash and turning it into treasure”. His experimental nature has inspired him to convey these powerful images and messages through the unconventional artistic medium of aluminium and cast resin. Through meticulous attention to detail, craftsmanship and the selection of the finest quality materials, his work is a mirror of our consumer society and the desire for luxury goods and brands.

Sarah Graham

Sarah Graham studied for a foundation course in art and design, followed by a BA in Fine Art. Whilst studying, Sarah organised a public exhibition in the empty floors above the pub she was working in, from which she began selling work.
After school, Sarah Graham studied for a foundation course in art and design, followed by a BA in Fine Art. Whilst studying, Sarah organised a public exhibition in the empty floors above the pub she was working in, from which I began selling work. This experience was invaluable as it helped Sarah to realise that she could make a living being an artist. From that point onwards Sarah Graham has been consistently exhibiting and selling her art throughout the UK and abroad.
Sarah is entirely motivated by colour, and as a realist painter, this inevitably leads to the subject matter of toys and sweets. It allows Sarah to explore extremely vivid colour and at the same time manipulate the structure and form of an image. Having trawled sweetshops, markets, eBay, and her mother's attic to find her subject, Sarah takes a staged photograph before beginning the painting process. Sarah translates the image onto canvas by lightly sketching it in yellow paint, followed by a more detailed under painting which acts as a map for the final painting.

Natasha K. Cobby

British born Natasha's (b. 1979) early background was one of being immersed in the family business of music, composing, publishing and printing where the roots of her creativity were planted. These early experiences, working alongside her graphic design, photographer and musician father, were to be the making of an artistic foundation that would later play a major part in shaping her journey as an exciting, up and coming artist.
Her phenomenal success rate has been acquired in a relatively short time frame expedited by her studies in 2014 at Toronto School of Art, focusing on the design elements of abstraction in oils together with life drawing and figurative studies. 
Before her time in Canada, she practiced acrylic painting at Richmond Art College while being an active, exhibiting member of the Walton-on-Thames Art Group. It was here where a profound comment made by an experienced senior member was to prove to be a most memorable compliment and one to be the springboard to Natasha's rapid creative success. 
"There are two types of artists like us. There are painters who are taught and there are artists who are born, and you Natasha, are a true artist."
Viewers are seduced into a multi-layered infusion and emotional kaleidoscope with each work of art. Being world travelled and also of Scandinavian heritage, it is not surprising that woven into her often semi-abstract style, frequently favouring the blending of various impasto techniques, is a rich international flavour of intense texture, opacity and mood. To describe her best, one might use the term modern day colourist, as each evolving moment she absorbs is beautifully translated onto canvas.
Her work displays an infinite magical energy, which is revealed through each brush stroke -  love, light, passion and moments of deep emotional intensity.  These quite apparent attributes alone continue to contribute to her snowballing popularity and exponentially increasing requests for commissions.
​

Jon Gubbay

​Gubbay qualified as an interior designer in 1971 and later worked as a graphic designer in the capital. He went on to follow his heart though, becoming a full time artist working in a variety of mediums before settling on acrylic to achieve his strong signature style with vibrant colours.   He has travelled extensively during his lifetime, living in Sydney for almost two years and marrying his New-Zealand born wife along the way. He has enjoyed numerous sell-out solo exhibitions as well as becoming a regular at major art fairs worldwide.   Gubbay’s inspiration is often derived from views along the Thames in Central London, which he translates in his own unique way, using a palette knife 95% of the time. Stunning large panels of colour blend recognisable architectural vistas with abstract skies and billowing masses, to draw the viewer deeper in to each piece released from his studio.
​

Veronica Vilsan

​I am Veronica Vilsan from Romania, and I sell the original abstract paintings that I paint. I have an art online gallery that I sell my paintings on.
​All of my art is genuine, high quality, hand painted oil/acrylic abstract art on canvas. Every piece was hand painted by me, Veronica Vilsan.
I really am the happiest when I have a paint brush in my hand, and the ever-loving blank canvas to wrap my ideas around. When I paint, I journey through my mind in my art; every piece has a meaning and a story.
I can be inspired by almost anything – the shape of a tree branch, the curve of a moving human body or a melody . I then carry this inspiration with me as I keep sketching and experimenting until I arrive at an image that is my artistic response to that inspiration.
​

Mel Graham

Mel Graham produces a unique and contemporary style that touches the soul.  Her endless landscapes, sweeping skyscapes, and dramatic seascapes focus on the sheer and raw beauty of space and nature.   Her colours are vibrant and brush strokes vivid, with hues chosen entirely by mood.
Her studio and adjoining gallery, are located in Nottingham, UK, with viewings by appointment.
 The canvas’ Mel works on are artist quality, and the paints are deeply textured and high grade. 
Mel Graham studied at Nottingham University BA (Hons) and Cardiff University MSc (Econ), and has travelled widely at home and abroad.  
She received a “Highly Commended” status in the Artist category in the Patchings 2015 Competition for Squall of Teal, and went on to win the Peoples Choice Award 2015 (Patchings Competition).​
​

Ansgar Dressler

Abstract Art Painter using oil and acrylics.
Educated through life.
Exhibitions and fans throughout the world.   
Ansgar developed his passion for painting in earliest childhood and since then is his constant companion. For Ansgar, abstract painting is another form of self-expression and communication that goes beyond the spoken and written word. He lets the interplay of colours, shapes, and different painting techniques, as well as spontaneity and sometimes chance, carry himself through the creativity process to unload the accumulated creative energy onto canvas. The abstract paintings of Gerhard Richter have inspired Ansgar the most which is often reflected in his works. Ansgar's paintings have been successfully exhibited around the world
​

Alexander Calder

​Alexander Calder was an American sculptor known as the originator of the mobile, a type of moving sculpture made with delicately balanced or suspended shapes that move in response to touch or air currents. Calder’s monumental stationary sculptures are called stabiles. He also produced wire figures, which are like drawings made in space, and notably a miniature circus work that was performed by the artist.

Steve Kaufman

​Steven Alan Kaufman (also known as Steve Kaufman, December 29, 1960 – February 12, 2010) was an American pop artist, fine artist, sculptor, stained glass artist, filmmaker, photographer and humanitarian. His entry into the world of serious pop art began in his teens when he became an assistant to Andy Warhol at The Factory studio. Nicknamed "SAK" by Warhol, Kaufman eventually executed such pieces as a 144-foot long canvas which later toured the country.
​

Mr Brainwash

​Mr. Brainwash (often written MBW) is a name used by French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist Thierry Guetta. According to the 2010 Banksy-directed film Exit Through the Gift Shop, Guetta was a proprietor of a used clothing store, where he began as a security guard, and amateur videographer who was first introduced to street art by his cousin, the street artist Invader, and who filmed street artists through the 2000s and "evolved" into an artist in his own right in a matter of weeks after an off-hand suggestion from Banksy.
Many critics have observed that his works strongly emulate the styles and concepts of Banksy, and have speculated that Guetta is an elaborate prank staged by Banksy, who may have created the works himself. Banksy insists on his official website, however, that Exit Through the Gift Shop is authentic and that Guetta is not part of a prank.
His work sold for five-figure sums at his self-financed debut exhibit Life Is Beautiful, due, it is thought, to a mixture of an overheated and hyped street art market and – according to Banksy and Shepard Fairey as seen in Exit – his misuse of endorsements from Banksy and Fairey. The exhibit was held in Los Angeles, California, on June 18, 2008, and was a popular success. In 2009, Madonna paid Guetta to design the cover art for her Celebration album.
​

Bernhard Hartmann

Born in Frankfurt in 1955, Bernhard Hartmann began his artistic career at the age of 18 as a press photographer for a German newspaper. Self-taught, he studied art and became a landscape photographer after discovering this medium with the aid of his parents? Polaroid. He creates dramatic and cinemascopic images that are often compared to the Romantic paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, but also to the dramatic natural scenes by English painter William Turner. He prefers to photograph places where the arts are practised and expressed and thus presents series on operas, theatres, or European manors. A lawyer in Munich, Bernard Hartmann now lives near Lake Starnberg in the Bavarian Alps. His works belong to numerous private collections and have been shown in the United States, Spain, Italy, and Germany. He was elected 'Photographer of the Year' by a Swiss magazine and won the 'American Black-and-White Photo Awards' as well as the 'Panoramic Epson Award'. 
​

Sandra Lawrence

Sandra Lawrence chooses objects, situations and compositional devices that involve as little perception of depth as possible. The eye stops at the picture plane, while the objects placed upon this flat surface seem to protrude into the spectator's space. To further fool the eye, all of Lawrence's paintings keep the scale of her subject close to the size in which the represented object is seen in normal experience. This also explains why trompe l'oeil is almost entirely used for still life. Still life deals with objects small enough to be represented in their natural size on an canvas' of manageable proportions.
Lawrence's versatility and adventurousness led her to undertake the task of creating the monumental Overlord Tapestry. She was commissioned in 1968 by Lord Dulverton to design and paint full-size cartoons for the Overlord Embroidery. It was commissioned as a permanent memorial to and record of Operation Overlord, the code words for the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944. The embroidery measures 272 feet and is the largest of its kind in the world. It is 33 feet longer than the 11th century Bayeaux Tapestry, which in many ways is the Overlord's medieval counterpart
​

Juliette Jourdain

Juliette Jourdain was born in 1991, she is fast-growing French artist. Painting, folding, molding and cutting....these tangible activities in her photos were part of her childhood. She graduated from EFET photography school and began her career as a freelancer and specialized in portraiture.
Juliette Jourdain's works are mainly influenced by seventh art, but fashion photography and painting play their role too.
Juliette Jourdain takes photos just like a master paints his canvas
​

John Eastcott and Yva Momatiuk

​Yva Momatiuk and John Eastcott met in 1976. While John is a photographer from New Zealand, Yva is a Polish architect and designer based in New York. Their photographs are dedicated to the representation of nature and native cultures. They have a shared vision of their art and travel the world, in the wildest locations, to capture striking images of nature
​

Jude Allen

Born in 1975 in Monterey, Jude Allen is an American photographer based near San Francisco. Although he only became interested in photography later in life, he enjoys a wonderful reputation in his native California and abroad. Self-taught, he began by making portraits of people on his cell phone, captured through chance meetings, followed by objects found along the way. What made him famous on Instagram were undeniably his pictures dedicated to skateboarding. A trip to the Yosemite national park in June 2014 enabled him to try his hand at astrophotography, experiment with long exposure times, and use specific filters to treat his images. For the past three years, Jude Allen has only focused on landscapes: nothing but the landscapes that he traverses alone and whose strange and mysterious beauty he seeks to portray

Ringo Starr

Ringo Starr "I started in the late nineties with my computer art. While I was touring it gave me something to do in all those crazy hotels you have to stay in on the road. In its way ‘Pop’ art is always changing-like ‘Pop’ artists. Its a natural move of things like pop music and even Popeye the Sailor Man." Ringo 2005
These artworks showcase his visual talents as never before. Starting out using acrylics and oils, Ringo was creating paintings for many years before he decided to start composing art on his computer in the late 90s. “I love modern media, it is the way I do my art now,” Starr said. After his first exhibition of paintings in 2005 that he called “My Faces,” Ringo has continued to evolve and create new and different artworks each and every year. Compared often to Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, Ringo’s “pop art” has captured the feel and spirit of the colorful, modern age in which we live. By following his progression, you will get an incredible journey into the creative process and mind of one of the greatest rock and roll legends of all time.
As he sang on the autobiographical Liverpool 8, “I always followed my heart and I never missed a beat.” Peace and love are Ringo’s life’s rhythm and melody, and he propels this universal message in everything he does: his evocative artwork, his enthused live performances, his legendary songs, all imbued with the joy, reflection, and wisdom of the music icon the world knows and loves simply as “Ringo.”
Ringo is collected worldwide and has had exhibitions of his art in Europe, South America, Australia, and the United States. He designed a painting for the Knot For Violence campaign that sold out in one day, and another of his paintings was used for the Hard Rock Hotels Signature Series t-shirt collection. In addition to that, his images have been used on Timberland boots and clothing for the menswear company Robert Graham. And as always, 100% of his proceeds go to support the Lotus Foundation.

​

Masashi Wakui

Tokyo is the main source of inspiration of the Japanese photographer Masashi Wakui, who specialises in nocturnal views of urban landscapes. Born in 1978, he brings an entrancing and poetic eye to the Japanese capital, which he continually captures in the course of his nocturnal wanderings. His introduction to photography took place in 2012 on a shooting platform, when discovering a new camera that enabled him to extract fixed images of shots taken by filming a scene in very high definition. He became more and more interested and thus produced his first photographs, later modifying the colours and lighting with the help of retouching software. Masashi Wakui finds inspiration in the film world, where he has worked on a daily basis since 1999. His photographs in cosy colours evoke the mystical and surrealistic atmospheres of Japanese comic strips and animations, whether these are mangas like Ghost in the Shell by Masamune Shirow and Akira by Katsuhiro Ôtomo or productions by the illustrious Studio Ghibli.

Gerry Buxton

Photographer, illustrator, printmaker
Gerry is part of a new generation of print-makers combining cutting-edge digital illustration and the time-honoured discipline of screen-printing. His work focuses on the relationship between people and iconic places.
Buxton's prints are based on his photographs. By combining many photographs from the same location he captures much more than just a snap shot of a single moment of time. The final prints are an idealised version of the scene and capture a progression of time into one single image, charting the progress of different characters as they make their way through the scene.
Gerry has exhibited widely in the UK and has produced commissioned work for amongst others London City Airport, The Science Museum, The Margate Gallery and the V Festival.
”Gerry’s cityscapes are timeless and it reminds us of how much beauty we miss on our daily journeys in the city.”

Jessica Leigh Owen

​My name is Jess.  I am an artist based in Wales.  I sell my paintings throughout the UK and ship to almost every other country.  I have no art training, I am 100% self-taught.  Six years ago I attained a degree in Law and post graduate diploma, I have since worked in family support.  However, my passion lies within art, painting and colour.
I create original paintings, putting love and passion into each.  I don't make prints, so each piece is unique.  I take time and care creating each piece, photographing each piece, creating my own website and social media accounts, packing and everything in between.
I create art because I love it, I love paint and what it can do, how colours interact with each other and it's unpredictability.  I don't over-conceptualise as a lot of art and artists sometimes do.  I just love what I do.  I don't care for rules or conformity, I just hope that my love of colour, shapes and paint will shine through my paintings.  Freedom is rare and incredibly valuable.
I also do commissions, so please get in touch if you have an idea of different colours or work you would like me to create for you

Ernesto Trova

Ernest Tino Trova (February 19, 1927 – March 8, 2009) was a self-trained American surrealist and pop art painter and sculptor. Best known for his signature image and figure series, The Falling Man, Trova considered his entire output a single "work in progress." Trova used classic American comic character toys in some of his pieces because he admired their surrealism. Many of Trova's sculptures are cast in unusual white bronze. He began as a painter, progressing through three-dimensional constructions to his mature medium, sculpture. Trova's gift of forty of his works led to the opening of St. Louis County, Missouri's Laumeier Sculpture Park.

​

Henri Matisse

​Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse was a French artist, known for both his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter.
Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture. Although he was initially labelled a Fauve (wild beast), by the 1920s he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting. His mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.

John Lennon

JOHN LENNON – A musician, song writer, poet, artist, philosopher – not from 2,000 years ago but of and for our generation. The artforms that he worked with were vehicles for his message – human love and communication!
Art was actually Lennon’s first love. He began drawing long before he had a guitar. He attended the prestigious Liverpool Art Institute for three years (1957-1960) before The Beatles became a full-time occupation.
He continued to draw throughout his life. John’s primary medium was line drawing either in pen, pencil, or Japanese sumi ink.
His drawings became illustrations for three best selling books: In His Own Write (1964), A Spaniard in the Works (1965) and Skywriting By Word of Mouth (1987).
In addition, a complete suite of the ‘Bag One’ portfolio of lithographs was donated to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where it remains in the permanent collection.

Claude Monet

Oscar-Claude Monet was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris.
Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. From 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property and began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life
​

Joan Miro

Joan Miró i Ferrà a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city of Barcelona in 1975, and another, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, was established in his adoptive city of Palma de Mallorca in 1981.
Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting
​

Jorn Fox

Jorn Fox was exposed to art at an early age by his father, an art instructor and abstract painter. Even through Jorn had studied in College he believes that his real education came from many hours he spent painting in his studio. There his canvases offered him unlimited opportunities for expression, exploration and discovery.
The varied landscapes are reoccurring theme in Jorn's works. He is currently working on a Series of impressionist Scene's "The Road Series" --- Figurative, Coastal, Landscapes, Jazz ,Captured Moments. Indeed,though he has a signature characteristic elegance of style, each of his paintings are distinct from one another, as are the various stunning locales,people,and moments that inspire them.
Working with palette knife and brush Jorn is able to evoke serenity and stillness in his works, simultaneously creating liveiness and motion. His striking use of color, much of it pure and thickly layered, exalts and even immortalizes what he chooses to depict. Jorn is frequently referred to as a California Impressionist, yet his work possesses a singular style in contrast to his French counterparts, displays an engaging sense of balance.
Jorn Fox's distinctive works have achieved national recognition and are included in numerous collections throughout the United States

Marc Chagall

​Marc Zakharovich Chagall was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic format, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.
Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century" (though Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity"). According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's preeminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN, and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra.
Before World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his idea of Eastern European Jewish folk culture. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1922.
He had two basic reputations, writes Lewis: as a pioneer of modernism and as a major Jewish artist. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk. When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is".

Piet Mondrian

Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondriaan, after 1906 Mondrian was a Dutch painter.
Mondrian was a contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group, which was founded by Theo van Doesburg. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed neoplasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which he painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors.
Mondrian's arrival in Paris from the Netherlands in 1911 marked the beginning of a period of profound change. He encountered experiments in Cubism and with the intent of integrating himself within the Parisian avant-garde removed an 'a' from the Dutch spelling of his name (Mondriaan).

Scott Naismith

With the ambition to become an artist, Scott studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee. In June 2000 he left with a BDes in Illustration and printmaking. Since graduating Scott has been a full time artist, working from his studio in Glasgow. Much of his time is spent travelling around the country looking for inspiration for another depiction of the Scottish landscape. The many lochs, glens and isles of the West coast are amongst his favourite subject matter for his vibrant and atmospheric oils. Scott has been lecturing part time since 2004 and now lectures one day a week at the creative arts department of West College Scotland. Scott uses vivid colours in a vigorous application to represent the fast changing light conditions of the West coast of Scotland. Colour use often becomes an entirely emotional response to the subject while values can remain representational. The love he has for his native Scottish countryside is portayed in his work through an ebullient energy with which he handles the colour with palette knife and brush. Scotts recent work concentrates on transitional skies and the many colours involved when light breaks through cloud. These changing skies from dark to light are a metaphor for optimism and hope. After a miraculous recovery from cancer by his father, recent marriage and birth of his 2 children, Scott draws upon a great positivity and energy. ​Recent success has seen Scott’s work reach a worldwide audience through his 11 000 youtube subscribers and a total view count exceeding 1.4 million views. In 2014 one painting was purchased for the collection of the BMA (British Medical Association) and his work reached the USA through Gallery 13, Downtown Minneapolis.
