"Web Bow By Patrick Hughes"
"Acclaimed British artist Patrick Hughes is known for his ‘Reverspective’ artwork: paintings that reverse the perspective of three dimensional objects and structures. Combining the illusionistic with the surreal, Hughes’ aesthetic is inspired by: the artists Magritte Duchamp; a love of wordplay; and a formative, childhood moment, sheltering from blitz bombing under his grandparents’ staircase, where he was hypnotised by the inverted stair treads as viewed from below. So began over half celebrated century of visual art. ‘Web Bow’ draws the rainbow away from the Romantic tradition, transforming ephemeral and ethereal associations into the earthly, the substantial, the natural. Here, the rainbow has fallen down to earth, no longer a mystical arc in the sky but a simple crescent, nestled in the grass, on which a spider has spun its intricate web to catch the morning dew. In this landscape of limitless possibility, ’Web Bow’ boldly treads through the artistic imaginary with painterly prowess."

"Cry Me A River By Patrick Hughes"
"Acclaimed British artist Patrick Hughes is known for his ‘Reverspective’ artwork: paintings that reverse the perspective of three dimensional objects and structures. Combining the illusionistic with the surreal, Hughes’ aesthetic is inspired by: the artists Magritte Duchamp; a love of wordplay; and a formative, childhood moment, sheltering from blitz bombing under his grandparents’ staircase, where he was hypnotised by the inverted stair treads as viewed from below. So began over half celebrated century of visual art. ‘Cry Me a River’ wrests the rainbow back from the Romantic tradition, transforming the ephemeral and ethereal associations into the human, the earthly, the substantial. A memento mori of sorts, ‘Cry Me a River’ reminds us of our own mortality in surreal and psychedelic undertones, but reads more like a celebration of life than the mawkish loom of death. Heaven and hell? Meh. A decomposing skull shedding rivers of rainbow tears? Now that’s more like it."

"Ava 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. ‘Ava’ depicts the black and white portrait of Hollywood starlet Audrey Hepburn, fitted with a stunning headpiece, featuring birds from across the world, all while dressed in a coat of feathers and diamonds. In the amongst the headpiece are branches, flowers, birds eggs and small figures!"

"Gone Bart By Whatshisname"
"Contemporary artist Whatshisname fuses the digital and the traditional to create provocative works of art. Attempting to express the ineffable, Whatshisname challenges his viewer to refocus on the world around them, questioning what they see in unorthodox and unconventional ways. Often parodic, and always saturated with humour and irony, Whatshisname’s work is powerfully visual, creating instantaneous connection with every viewer. ’Gone Bart’ depicts the silhouette of the iconic Simpson’s son, seen as if behind a layer of translucence. As Bart presses his hand against the impenetrable barrier, the familiar figure becomes a spectacle, childish humour drained away and replaced with a haunting impression. Playing with the two-dimensional surface, Whatshisname creates an illusionistic sense of depth, transcending expectations of the printed form with compelling visual prowess."

"Real Hugs By Moruzzi"
"Moruzzi is a contemporary artist, first established in 2016 as a London-based design agency for menswear fashion. Today, Moruzzi has expanded his practice into a limited edition stencil aesthetic that plays with the cult of the logo in contemporary culture. ‘Real Hugs’ combines the work of legendary New York street artist Keith Haring with the familiar Nike logo. The painting features one of Haring’s simple stickmen from his iconic ‘Best Buddies’. Yet, in place of a second figure, Moruzzi's little stick dude has his arm draped over the classic Nike tick. Icon on icon, the resulting effect can be only one thing: irresistibly iconic."

Icon on icon, the resulting effect can be only one thing: irresistibly iconic."

"Struck By Simon Freeborough"
"Simon Freeborough’s work explores the disposable trimmings of contemporary, capitalist-driven society, transforming them into lasting objects of visual admiration while always questioning the fine line between artistic practice and consumer branding. Behold, Dior’s iconic J’Adore perfume bottle, reimagined in pink pattern and monochrome leopard print. A thoughtful comment on our fraught relationship with luxury and indulgence, a question of where creativity fits in our money-oriented culture - oh, and an absolutely sumptuous work of contemporary art. You can forget perfume this Christmas - all we want is Freeborough’s beguiling bottle."

"Argent By Simon Freeborough"
"Simon Freeborough’s work explores the disposable trimmings of contemporary, capitalist-driven society, transforming them into lasting objects of visual admiration while always questioning the fine line between artistic practice and consumer branding. ‘Cartier, Cartier, Cartier’ - is Simon Freeborough’s camo-covered print just the first three lines of every woman’s Christmas wish list? Not quite. The provocative print is a comment on our fraught relationship with luxury and indulgence, questioning where creativity fits in our money-oriented culture - oh, and it actually shows lines 2, 3, and 4 of the Christmas list, because ‘Argent’ just moved right up to the top…"

"Beauty On Beauty Kate - Green By Dirty Hans"
"Contemporary artist Dirty Hans cites Toulouse-Lautrec and Lichtenstein amongst his greatest influences: an unlikely pairing of art greats, the result is Dirty Hans’ own unique and striking aesthetic, by turns gritty and poppy, in artful measures. His work riffs off 1950s pop culture, from music to movies to magazines, updating Pop Art styles with an innovative combination of acrylic and spray-paint, merged with digital techniques. ‘Beauty On Beauty Kate - Green’ depicts Britain’s best loved supermodel, backed by bold, floral wallpaper, in shades of tropical orange and ice-white. Like a delicate chameleon, Kate’s striking face bends into the blossoming background: this truly is beauty on beauty."

"Gold Dusk By Cleo Barbour"
"Cleo Barbour is a Brighton-based contemporary artist, who specialises in abstract, graphic illustrations and prints. Inspired by Art Deco design, Barbour’s pieces recall 1920s graphics: think Gatsby-era glamour with an abstract twist. Driven by a fluidity of composition, ‘Gold Dusk’ creates an abstract landscape, subtly evoking the stretching horizon - all gold sands and glittering seas - below a fiery, setting sun. Working with the simple interconnection of shapes - little more than hard lines and curved orbs - ‘Gold Dusk’ is a triumph of colour and compositional technique."

His practice tends towards the abstract and the experimental, where the energy of ideas fuses with the chance nature of trial and error, to produce an organic range of print works. Using a custom built printing press and specially developed techniques, each work is the product of a long and physically involved journey, from initial sketch to finished form. Intricate white loops merge and coalesce for ‘D.B.X. DRIFTWORKS [BROWN]’.

"KM Metallic Black (2017) By Steve Smythe"
"The work of Steve Smythe is flavoured by his background as a graphic designer. Smythe’s prints - which make deft use of mixed-media techniques, collage styles, and material innovation - are distinguished by their bold use of colour and compositional practices, crossing the line from graphics to art in the style of early Warhol or Paolozzi. ‘KM Metallic Black (2017)’ depicts supermodel Kate Moss posing in profile, an oversized, black leather jacket draped across her shoulders, and a cigarette hanging nonchalantly from her mouth, as soft waves of hair fall across her face. Using dark metallic ink, Smythe has crafted a shifting image: sometimes you see the positive, sometimes the negative, and occasionally you see nothing at all, against the inky black background."

"Photo Bombed Blue 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. ‘Photo Bombed Blue’ depicts a strip of four, Photo Booth snapshots, each one featuring a Jacobean lady with an extravagant, feather adorned wig. Obviously, Lady Rotherham had donned her glad rags for her new passport picture; her only mistake was in taking her BFF Lady Gloucester along with her. From arch eyebrow to insuppressible giggles, there was no way Rotherham couldn’t laugh at Gloucester’s cheeky photobomb!"

Her work is infused with the travel that has shaped her life, in both Africa and India, where she was immersed in exotic colours and patterns. Arnett creates fantastical landscapes, intertwining the Regency vistas of Brighton with the tropical scenery of her formative years, along with her passion for early film and botanical illustration. ‘Orange Bandstand’ depicts Brighton’s iconic bandstand, rendered in glittering gold against a burnt orange sunset. Around the structure, Arnett has added an explosion of colourful designs, from bold, Oriental patterns, to delicate butterfly wings, and sprouting flora and fauna. With her incredible eye for colour, composition, and texture, Arnett has brilliantly captured the vibrant and eccentric mood of the seaside city."

The first screen printed edition from ‘Gestures’, the sell out series of digital prints, ‘Gesture - Peace’ depicts a human hand, two fingers raised in a sign of peaceful protest. Recalling the work of the surrealists, whose paintings often portrayed detached hands at work, Von has captured the intricate lines and powerful musculature of the organ, printing onto beautifully soft, dusty pink paper for a work of captivating beauty."

"Bittersweet By Simone Webb"
"Simone Webb is contemporary British artist whose work blends the digital with the painterly, creating images of flowers, suspended in space as they bloom and decay. Recalling the floral compositions of Dutch Renaissance masters, Webb’s work offers a contemporary take on the still-life: where the Northern European tradition reflected the growing urbanism of the 1600s, Webb’s pieces mirror our increasing shift towards the digital. Three pink and cream carnations tumble across in inky black background for ‘Bittersweet’, creating a sense of Renaissance-inspired chiaroscuro. Hazy paint daubs and streaks of grey pigment gesture towards the onset state of decay: hanging these gentle flowers in timeless space, Webb challenges our expectations of creeping entropy, transforming slow decline into an instant of immense beauty."

"A Quiet Fall By Simone Webb"
"Simone Webb is contemporary British artist whose work blends the digital with the painterly, creating images of flowers, suspended in space as they bloom and decay. Recalling the floral compositions of Dutch Renaissance masters, Webb’s work offers a contemporary take on the still-life: where the Northern European tradition reflected the growing urbanism of the 1600s, Webb’s pieces mirror our increasing shift towards the digital. A cluster of double narcissus takes centre stage for ‘A Quiet Fall’, as soft pink petals tumble across an inky black background, to create a sense of Renaissance-inspired chiaroscuro. At the edges, hazy paint daubs gesture towards the onset of decay, challenging our expectations of creeping entropy, by transforming slow decline into an instant of immense beauty."

"Cool Waters, 1979 By Poppy Faun"
"Collage artist and graphic designer, Poppy Faun, uses unique 1960s and 70s images to create an aesthetic of escapism. Futuristic and otherworldly, through the piecing together of fragments from the past, Faun’s work fuses rock and roll with retro fashion for a revolutionary edge. A sensuous mash-up of collaged parts, ‘Cool Waters 1979’ is Bauhaus-meets-Hockney, with its effortless assemblage of colour blocks and vintage motifs. A solitary swimmer, an old school radio, and supreme sensitivity for colour and composition is all this print needs for a refreshing splash of contemporary cool."

"Square By Cleo Barbour"
"Cleo Barbour is a Brighton-based contemporary artist, who specialises in abstract, graphic illustrations and prints. Inspired by Art Deco design, Barbour’s pieces recall 1920s graphics: think Gatsby-era glamour with an abstract twist. Striking in its compositional minimalism and harmony of abstraction, ‘Square’ revels in the pitch-perfect convergence of shape and colour, as circles and stripes in black and blue, melt into candy-floss pink, finished with a glistening square of hand stitched gold, for a compellingly beautiful model of luxury and decadence de rigeur."

"Carina - Artist Proof By Maria Rivans"

Maria Rivans often features flowers and nature in her pieces making the woman featured appear as though she has some kind of magical ‘jungle’ around her head. ‘Carina’ is signed and numbered by the artist."

"Study - Infinity Building By Bonnie and Clyde"
"Bonnie and Clyde has mastered the art of mixed media collage, blending photography with fine art until the lines of distinction disappear. Her brightly coloured brushstrokes - often depicting modernist architecture, expanses of sea, and palm-tree lined streets - are reminiscent of early Hockney, given an up-to-date twist with a contemporary techniques, employed to unrivalled effect. Photomontage is at play in ‘Study - Infinity Building’, the seams of production laid bare for a subtly disjunctive vista. A network of telephone wires hang in the grey sky over an elegant, blue building, which is surrounded by palms and parked cars. Painting over the photographs, until only the hint of a trace remains, Bonnie and Clyde explores the intersections between traditional and digital techniques, in this exemplary work of contemporary collage."

With a novel take on ‘found art’, her work appropriates antiquated artworks, transforming unloved and unknown junk shop treasures with anachronistic motifs for an anarchically witty aesthetic. Little Red’s detour through the woods was getting eerier by the minute. Mists were starting to roll in, she hadn’t heard from Grannie for hours, and she was sure she didn’t remember seeing that kind of caution sign before…"

"Madonna (True Blue) By Agent X"
"Agent X is an experimental multimedia artist, working at the forefront of contemporary art. His memorable moniker hints at the ungraspable nature of his art, while poignantly alluding to a brutal moment in American history: X signifies the last name commonly given to African American slaves. Working under this pseudonym, the elusive artist strives to honour the victims of this history, seeing himself as “a slave to my art in a twisted way.” Pop Art for the twenty-first century, ‘Madonna (True Blue)’ depicts the illustrious singer in all her 80s glory - red lips and thick eyebrows; iconic crucifix necklace; and bright, MTV logo, to boot. Using a flat palette of primary colours (think archetypal Alex Katz), Agent X commemorates the icon of a generation, in this pitch-perfect homage."

"Awakening Ride By Katrin Fridriks"
"Icelandic-born artist Katrin Fridricks works at the forefront of contemporary abstract expressionism, creating explosive artworks that leap and dance with forceful vivacity from the stilled space of the page or canvas. ‘Awakening Ride’ is a study in suspended time and motion. Boldly expressive paint strokes and splashes cast themselves across the print, every bright colour merging and melding to create a thickly textured, amorphous composition, possessing a proud and loud life of its own. Conceptually powerfull - and endlessly eye-catching - ‘Awakening Ride’ is a piece that’ll find you returning again and again, each time finding a little more emotion in every curve, splatter, and speckle of vibrant viscosity."

"Treescape 18 By Rob Wass"
"Rob Wass is a contemporary artist whose work details the majesty of the natural world. His prints centre around landscapes, flora and fauna, birds and butterflies, balancing exceptional colour palettes with soft texture and composition. ‘Treescape 18’ depicts a row of windblown trees, their asymmetrical doubles reflected in an invisible pool for an off-kilter composition. Wass’s winter trees are slender and skeletal, their leafless branches rendered in soft watercolour shades of lime green, sky blue, and deep indigo: a bewitching translation of the natural world onto the canvas."

"Big Boy - White By FAKE"
"Contemporary street artist FAKE works the tricks of urban art - from stencilling to spray paint - into his limited edition prints. Brimming with playful irony, FAKE’s work is both colourful and charming, for a provocative aesthetic with magnetic appeal. Here comes Big Boy Donald, driving his little tank! Beep beep! FAKE’s hand spray painted stencil sees the trigger happy POTUS, careering around on a tiny tank, his face distorted into little-boy aggression, while a crescent of patriotic red stars surrounds him like a modern-day religious icon: a searing satire that cuts right to the heart of the contemporary political stage."

"Kaikai Kiki And Me: Lots Of Fun By Takashi Murakami"
"Heralded “the Warhol of Japan,” Takashi Murakami is one of Asia’s most acclaimed contemporary artists, mixing high art with low for a bright, bold aesthetic. Known for his ""Superflat” theory, Murakami is concerned with the relative “flatness” of Japanese visual culture, not only in antiquity, but in a radically revisioned, post World War II climate. A thicket of colourful, grinning flowers sets the backdrop for ‘Kaikai Kiki and Me: Lots of Fun’, which Murakami magically layers without creating an inkling of depth - everything is surface in this ‘Superflat’ print, and boy is it breathtaking. Two anime heads float across the floral stage, laughing with cartoon cuteness (white bunny ears, pink hair bobbles - does it get any more adorable?). Yet this is so much more than saccharine-sweetness: in merging high art with low, Murakami’s print challenges the values we place on certain visual cultures with bold, conceptual force."

"Monica's Walnut Spong Cake By Bruce McLean"
"'Monica's Walnut Spong Cake' is a hand-painted silkscreen print with hand-painted collaged elements and glazes from abstract artist Bruce McLean. This piece is a Limited Edition of 100. Inspired by his autobiography, where food is the central motif, McLean merges text from his book with his art, making this one of his most personal pieces in recent years."

"Rebel By Hutch"
"Contemporary artist Hutch works at the forefront of stencil and screen print, to produce a striking aesthetic. Drawing on erotica, 1950s nostalgia, music and urban street art, Hutch’s work is provocative and seductive, mixing a skill for stencilling with an extraordinary eye for tonal harmony. Trick or treat? In this modern-day memento mori, Hutch shows us that even the temptress falls victim to mortality’s fate, her rattling bones visible beneath her skin as she poses seductively. Bold, beautiful, and arresting, ‘Rebel’ is contemporary street art at its very best."
