"Jim Morrison Gold By David Studwell"
"David Studwell is a contemporary artist, whose work explores the traditional print-making processes and cultures of the twentieth century. Taking photographic images of some of the century’s greatest icons and celebrities - from Al Capone to Marilyn Monroe - Studwell revitalises them with washes of retro colour, for a distinctly Pop-Art feel. ‘Jim Morrison Gold’ depicts an image of The Doors frontman - but not as you’ve seen him before. A young, fresh faced Jim Morrison stands for a Police Department mug shot, which Studwell has washed with grainy tones of gold and inky black. Studwell’s eye is finely tuned to the timelessly iconic, while his sensitivity to colour and tonality adds the finishing touch for the perfect pop screen print."

"Dualities By Tom French"
"Acclaimed British artist Tom French, combines expressive, abstract forms with bold realism, to create dynamic motion in stasis. Figures and faces seem to emerge from swirls of pigment in his greyscale prints and paintings, each one a delicate musing on mortality and perception with philosophical acuity. In ‘Dualities’, a collaged collection of heads and hands are enveloped by drips and strokes of black paint, creating a close-up vision of chaos, after the style of 1950s abstract expressionism. From a distance, however, a face begins to appear out of the disorder, loosely gathered into the shape of a heart. Eyes, nose and mouth are forged from grasping fingers and downturned eyes, highlighting the beauty of human connectedness in its many, organic forms."

"Neonasm Pleonasm By Rebecca Mason"
"Contemporary artist Rebecca Mason works with neon, exploring the darker side of human nature through the medium of light for a conceptually powerful juxtaposition. In using neon, Mason allows the seediness of the city to seep into the delicacy of her work, which is always centred around typography, offering a slight but profound comment on human existence and emotion. ‘Neonasm Pleonasm’ depicts the single word ‘bored?’, each letter bent from bright red strips of neon light. The eye-catching word is set against a white background, onto which Mason has printed a comic, meta-paragraph, which undoes itself as it unfolds, questioning the value of words while simultaneously celebrating them. The interplay of light and dark is mesmerising and profoundly beautiful and Mason’s message is life-affirming: a brilliant moment of illumination in an all-too-often dark world. Please note that this is a print only and does not include lights or neon elements."

"The Colours in Sight By Gavin Dobson"
"Contemporary artist and print maker Gavin Dobson creates bold, iconic images, capturing movement and dynamism with distinction. His work is infused with a sense of nostalgia, often generated through a keen sensitivity to colour: from bold, saturated hues, to charcoal, greyscale, or delicate, washed out tones, Dobson’s eye for tonality artfully gestures towards memories of the past. ‘The Colours in Sight’ powerfully fuses the abstract with the figurative, gesturing towards representation without delineating object or form. A host of paint strokes converge onto Dobson’s rectangular canvas: swirls of blue and white create a cloud-like backdrop, while decisive drips and dashes of brightly coloured pigment, in shades of yellow, red, and purple, punctuate the print. Creating depth and perspective, ‘The Colours in Sight’ suggests an urban vista, seen from afar under a hot and hazy sky, but an abstract approach leaves the piece open to limitless possibilities."

"The Pearl Diver By Carne Griffith"
"Contemporary artist Carne Griffiths creates prints of stunning beauty, from his abstract-meets-figurative vision. With an impressive roll-call of clients - from Chanel to the Sultan of Oman - Griffiths’ work is informed by his background as a gold wire embroidery designer: delicate lines of fluidity course through his work, which he creates from various (and sometimes surprising) materials, including ink, graphite, brandy and whiskey. ‘The Pearl Diver’ is a reworking of Vermeer’s infamous Girl With a Pearl Earring. Stripping the colour from the original, Griffiths adds an array of dynamic lines, shapes and colours to the historical muse, using an explosive palette of earthy browns and bold blues, set against a background of soft, golden-yellow. Simultaneously modern and traditional, Griffiths fuses the abstract with the figurative, to create a stunning work of contemporary art."

"From Waterloo Bridge By Jayson Lilley"
"Contemporary artist Jayson Lilley works at the forefront of printmaking practices, incorporating painting and collage techniques into his process. His work is known for its urban and architectural focus reproducing iconic structures from the metropolis. His love of modernist, Art Deco and Brutalist architectural design is infectious, bleeding into his own work which is often stark and minimal, with strong impact: stripped back palettes - often concrete shades of grey - complement bold compositional techniques. ‘From Waterloo Bridge’ depicts the view from London’s Waterloo Bridge, with the city’s skyline rising either side of the Thames. Adding subtle washes of colour to the greyscale photograph, Lilley creates a deliciously Pop Art collage aesthetic, while the strip of sky is covered with a sheet of gold leaf for iridescent texture and tonality."

"Only Human? By Rebecca Mason"
"< p>Contemporary artist Rebecca Mason works with neon, exploring the darker side of human nature through the medium of light for a conceptually powerful juxtaposition. In using neon, Mason allows the seediness of the city to seep into the delicacy of her work, which is always centred around typography, offering a slight but profound comment on human existence and emotion. Against a white background, printed repeatedly with the phrase ‘human error’ like a malfunctioning computer scroll, ‘Only Human?’ depicts the words ‘send help’, each letter bent from bright red strips of neon light. Directly below, Mason had printed ’S.O.S’ and within the big, black lettering, has included many of the slips and faults that make us only human. Be it bad boys and wrinkles or poverty and abuse, Mason’s piece highlights human folly, from the comic to the tragic, to offer a message that is fundamentally life-affirming: a brilliant moment of illumination in an all-too-often dark world.   Please note that this is a print only and does not include lights or neon elements."

"Red Tit 1 By Jane Burrows"
"Jane Burrows is a contemporary painter and print maker, living and working in Brighton. Her work is built around observational drawing, creating monotypes from small-scale graphite sketches. Life drawing is central to Burrows’s work, having herself been both muse and master in the life drawing studio and two recent series’ - ‘Body Parts’ and ‘Tops and Bottoms’ - revolve around the fragmented nude. By playing with perspective, her work merges the abstract with the figurative, placing gender at its core to quietly question cultural expectations of the female form. ‘Red Tit 1’ recalls Russian Constructvisim, with its angular shapes and lines, monochrome palette, and flash of bright red. Yet, closer inspection reveals not an abstract depiction but a female figure, seated and hunched, a single breast just visible, which Burrows has picked out in red. Visually powerful and conceptually acute, ‘Red Tit 1’ is a gem of contemporary print making."

"Adult Entertainment By Richard Heeps"
"Contemporary photographer Richard Heeps favours a traditional, analogue photographic process, eschewing the contemporary digitalisation of the image for a mesmerising and lasting aesthetic. In his work, vibrant colours mingle with ethereal qualities, symbols and motifs float across the surface of the image, while bold composition powerfully emphasises the subject. Photographed against a bright, blue sky, ‘Adult Entertainment’ depicts a road sign advertising the titular temptation in thick white lettering and illuminated, red arrows. Brilliantly observational, ‘A Fabulous 50s Restaurant’ recalls retro photography with contemporary clarity."

"Reunited With Everything You Have Ever Lost XL By Benjamin Thomas Taylor"
"London based artist Benjamin Thomas Taylor is known for his bright, Pop Art inspired landscapes. Fuelled by a sense of joy, his detailed paintings and prints open up hyperreal spaces, crossing from reality into a parallel world of limitless possibility, full of colour and creation. The title of his recent print, ‘Reunited With Everything You Have Ever Lost XL’ attests to the feeling of optimism that suffuses Taylor’s work. A small orb of magical realism, the print depicts an efflorescent landscape, bursting with exotic flowers in high contrast colours. A white moon hangs in the sky, lending its luminescence to a meandering stream that cuts through the centre of the print, while cosy log cabins crouch on the grassy banks on either side. Like Dorothy’s discovery of the Land of Oz, Taylor imagines a paradisiacal world, where everything you have ever lost might be recaptured in technicolour vision."

"Isabella By Maria Rivans"
"The work of Maria Rivans is known for its mash up of surrealism meets pop-art. Her scrapbook-like collages - with their 1950s pop-culture references - have all the playful delight of an early Paolozzi, mixed with the strange surreality of a Dali, and brought up to date with a certain sophistication and quirky aesthetic, unique to Rivans. ‘Isabella’ depicts the black and white portrait of Swedish 1950s starlet Marta Toren, attired in an Edwardian-style collar, crafted from silver foil and spiky shells. Framing her face, Rivans has created one of her signature bricolage headdresses: in the amongst tumbling flora, fauna and foliage, look out for female boxers, smashing the gender stereotypes embodied by the army of air hostesses; 1950s telephones and TV sets; and prowling wolves and dogs, to remind us all of our wild side! The figure in the piece is the iconic Marta Toren"

"Everything You Need Is Right Here By Dominic Bradnum"
"Visual and audio artist Dominic Bradnum seeks to meter music with art, for an electric aesthetic. Capturing the incandescent nature of neon lights, Bradnum’s work is a plaintive musing on all things ephemeral. Against a textured green background, ‘Everything You Need is Right Here’ depicts the titular words, rendered in neon sign writing. The green glow of the words seems to buzz against the dim wall with an intangible sonic quality, while the heartwarming sentiment contrasts powerfully against the bleak setting, for a profound and beautiful print."

"Chicken Cottage - A3 By Lucy Bryant"
"Lucy Bryant is a contemporary artist and graphic designer, whose work is influenced by Pop art and the Punk music scene. Her art subverts the everyday and the banal, always striving to disrupt the ordinary and create something entirely new. With a novel take on ‘found art’, her work appropriates antiquated artworks, turning away from the masters towards those unloved and unknown junk shop treasures. Onto these, Bryant has added anachronistic motifs to create an anarchically witty aesthetic. ‘Chicken Cottage’ depicts a scene from European antiquity: Palladian ruins, domes in the distance, gondolas drifting downstream - oh, and a delicious Chicken Cottage fast food chain, the perfect pit stop after a day of antiquated activities."

Creating depth and perspective, ‘Night Dun’ suggests an urban vista, seen from afar under a drizzly night sky, but an abstract approach leaves the piece open to limitless possibilities."

"Queen of Hearts By Elmo Hood"
"The works of Elmo Hood fuse pop and graffiti art and uses layer upon layer of graffiti tags, symbols and paint splashes to create rich and vibrant works of art. Elmo Hood first saw his popularity boom following a collage he created out of two player cards in 2013 which went viral overnight. His works that involve playing cards tell a story a love, heartbreak and betrayal – humanising playing cards into something much more."

"Just Close Your Eyes AP By Kid-B"
"Kid-B is an emerging artist on the street-art scene. The creative brainchild of female Bass music DJ ‘B-Trix Kiddo’, Kid-B translates her passion for beats onto the canvas, to create a street style that’s dripping with urban savvy. Mixing street-art with a pop aesthetic, Kid-B’s work is all about bold graphics, loud palettes, and no-fuss attitude. ‘Just Close Your Eyes…’ is from Kid-B’s debut collection ‘In the Beginning’, which celebrates the birth of 90s Drum and Bass culture. Across the print, Kid-B has spelt out the words ‘Just close your eyes & dream with me you’ll hear the sound of music’ in spray-can style. The lettering is encircled with a neon heart and shot through with a graffiti'd arrow, brilliantly recapturing 90s iconography with a twist of contemporary cool."

"Sarah By Hannah Adamaszek"
"Hannah Adamaszek brings a fresh and thoughtful angle to the male dominated world of contemporary street art. An arena that many female artists shy away from, Adamaszek embraces the spray-can aesthetic on her own terms, producing nuanced and abstract portraits of the feminine form. Opting for a softer palette, while maintaining all of the dynamism and energy of street-art, Adamaszek’s prints are bold, haunting and heavy with expressive depth. ‘Sarah’ depicts the portrait of a woman, her face turned towards the viewer, her eyes closed as if in spiritual reverie, while a white halo surrounds her head. Against a gentle, yellow background, Adamaszek has surrounded her muse with stencilled palm fronds and flecks of turquoise paint for texture. Augmenting the beauty of the female form, Adamaszek achieves a bewitching blend of the figurative and the abstract."

To create contrast, the silhouettes of two construction cranes have been poised symmetrically in front of the building: a timely touch to this celebration of the city."

"The Unbearable Paranoia Of Being By Rebecca Mason"
"Contemporary artist Rebecca Mason works with neon, exploring the darker side of human nature through the medium of light for a conceptually powerful juxtaposition. In using neon, Mason allows the seediness of the city to seep into the delicacy of her work, which is always centred around typography, offering a slight but profound comment on human existence and emotion. ‘The Unbearable Paranoia of Being’ depicts the words ‘fact?’ and ‘fiction?’, running perpendicular to one another across the print. Both words have been bent from bright blue strips of neon and set against a black background which Mason has printed with a list of mythologies from ‘You are in control’ to ‘The truth will always come out’ (and even, ’Freddie Starr ate my hamster’ manages to make an appearance along the way). At a time when the very notion of truth seems under threat, Mason’s piece is powerfully provocative: a brilliant moment of illumination in an all-too-often dark world. Please note that this is a print only and does not include lights or neon elements."

"Dance By Newton Blades"
"Newton Blades is a contemporary artist, known for his ‘borrowed’ and ‘reimagined’ artworks. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Blades’ aesthetic is wide and varied, encompassing the old and the new through innovative interactions with found art. ‘Waldo’ depicts an eighteenth century portrait, distorted almost beyond recognition. Three sitters pose in a pastoral scene, surrounded by leafy trees and rolling fields. Blades has worked into the painting, blurring and transposing sections to create a faceless and fragmented totality. The result is haunting, the original image remaining only as a spectral trace, abstracted to unsettling but beautiful effect."

"Queen of Space By Fei Alexeli"
"Contemporary artist Fei Alexeli is known for her distinctly retro collages and cut-ups. Often depicting galactic vistas with magazine fragments of 1950s space-age visions of the future, her prints are simultaneously backward and forward looking, speaking to our present age by opening out the utopian spaces of escapism that contemporary society calls for. Underneath a burgundy-coloured, night sky, flecked with tiny speckles of silver light, ‘Queen of Space’ depicts an elegant woman seated on a fur-lined throne, her white dress and heavy jewellery marking out her magisterial status. Behind her, Alexeli has grafted layers of pink palm fronds, spread out to create a cosmic pattern fit for a queen."

"Bedroom (S) By Gina Soden"
"Gina Soden is a contemporary artist and photographer, whose work documents a reverie of architectural decay. Using the medium of the camera, Soden chart’s the slow and entropic passage of time, favouring a lyrical composition that breathes life back into the haunted spaces that time forgot. ’Bedroom’ depicts a crumbling room, its walls wracked with damp and mould, its blue, carpeted floor in a filthy state of disrepair, while a once-inviting bed crouches at its centre: pink and green headboards have assumed creeping patches of black and a feathered quilt slumps across the middle of two mattresses, which cave upwards, as if in an attempt to escape the forlorn setting. Soden breathes life into the inanimate objects but, more than that, she breathes life into the very space, igniting it with the trace of whoever once inhabited the ruinous bed, spending happy days in a now spectral boudoir. Profoundly beautiful, Soden’s haunting print speaks to our very human fascination with time, its passing, and all things ephemeral."

Using the medium of the camera, Soden chart’s the slow and entropic passage of time, favouring a lyrical composition that breathes life back into the haunted spaces that time forgot. ’Chambre Degrade’ depicts a once-decadent bedroom, its decrepit state still bearing the traces of former times: rich, mahogany panelling lines the walls, even as the ceiling exposes its wooden rafters; a marble mantlepiece is flanked by a red velvet chair, now crumbling with dust; while a sumptuous bed perches in front of an ornately painted wall, hung with floating silk curtains. Soden breathes life into inanimate objects but, more than that, she breathes life into the very space, igniting it with the trace of whoever once inhabited the ruinous bed, spending happy days in a now spectral boudoir. Profoundly beautiful, Soden’s haunting print speaks to our very human fascination with time, its passing, and all things ephemeral."
