"Chameleon By Tom Lewis" |
"Contemporary artist Tom Lewis tells stories; because stories are what make us human. In fact, Lewis tells stories about stories, through his bright, metaphysical paintings and prints - stories that get to the heart of the human condition. Sitting somewhere between Japanese manga and contemporary graffiti art, Lewis’s works are breathtakingly beautiful - oh, and did we mention that they tell a story? Against a rain-soaked, urban backdrop, cast in an evening haze of deep turquoise and purplish indigo, a neon pink Chameleon clings to a spindly tree branch, its bright body blazing a trail of warm illumination in the damp, evening air. Blending contemporary urban motifs with traditional pastoral elements, Lewis’s Print is a gem of modern print making."

"Lesson 1. Happiness 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 bricolage technique, employed to unrivalled effect. Blending elements of the natural world with fragments of the urban, ‘Lesson 1. Happiness’ explores the balance of binaries that shape our everyday lives: black and white buildings, juxtaposed side by side; summer skies placed against thick cloud cover; the digital vs the tactile. Yet for all its fragmentation, Bonnie and Clyde’s print is perfectly balanced: a sumptuous harmony of chaos."

"Tiger Lily 1 By Ricky Byrne" |
"London-based printmaker Ricky Byrne is known for his refined screen printing process, which draws together the traditional and the digital for a strong, contemporary aesthetic. His work incorporates the natural variations inherent in screen printing, as each print in an edition possesses its own, organic character and material traits. A single, orange Tiger Lily unfurls at the centre of a disc of pure, inky black, its petals suspended at the peak of blossom. Beautifully capturing the ephemerality of the summer flower, ‘Tiger Lily 1’ is a precious little gem of contemporary print making."

"My Friends Live Forever - White Spray Paint Edition By John Tsombikos AKA BORF" |
"John Tsombikos, aka BORF is known for his powerful bend of street and academy, seamlessly merging graffiti with fine art, for a pioneering aesthetic. Addressing the alienation of urban life and a general disillusionment with the sad status quo of adulthood, Tsombikos’ works to combine the youthful vigour of hardcore graffiti with a thoughtful and beautiful brand of contemporary abstract art. Passionately imbued with Tsombikos’ own loss (the suicide of his childhood friend, ‘Borf’) ‘My Friends Live Forever - White Spray Paint Edition’ depicts the title words, tagged in white spray paint onto a rough brick wall. Poignant, while conceptually provocative, as it collapses the distinctions between street and canvas, ‘My Friends Live Forever (Varied Edition)’ is a powerful work of contemporary graffiti art."

"We Share Our Chemistry With The Stars (KN200R) By Marc Quinn" |
"Contemporary artist Marc Quinn is a leading name in twenty-first century British art. Famous for casting his head in frozen blood and for crowning Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth with his sculpture of Alison Lapper, Quinn has been a rising star of the art world since the 1990s. With a penchant for humanity’s darker side and a tendency toward the existential, Quinn creates an art that thinks, always probing life’s bigger questions. ‘We Share Our Chemistry With the Stars (KN200)’ is a print from Quinn’s iris series, for which Quinn has employed the Duchampian readymade model, his found ‘object’ taking the form of the human eye. Quinn’s irises are breathtakingly beautiful: glassy shots of intense pigment coalesce to draw out the spectacular power of humanity. ‘We Share Our Chemistry With the Stars (KN200)’ depicts a blue iris, streaked with soft peach and snow white and punctured by an abyssal, black pupil, which contains, in the words of Quinn, “all of the mystery and uncertainty of life.”"

"Chanel Vintage Pineapple (A2 By Angel London" |
"This is a beautiful vintage style design that was initially digitally created and then sublimated/ heat pressed onto a gesso primed mdf board, after pressing at high temperature the brush strokes are then exposed which creates the illusion of a classically worn and tarnished finish. Angel London finds his inspiration from his fashion photography background and his interest in classic consumer culture and iconic brands and institutions. This gorgeous Limited Edition print takes on the iconic Chanel No5 Perfume bottle and adds a contemporary twist with a squashed pineapple with warm tones that would entertain any wall."

"Where Flowers Bloom, So Does Hope (Copper) By Lene Bladbjerg" |
"Danish artist Lene Bladbjerg creates prints of striking graphic quality. Crossing the line from graphic design to fine art, Bladbjerg’s work is infused with a gently haunting character, as bold type and strong composition dominate the frame. ‘Where Flowers Bloom, So Does Hope (Copper)’, perfectly captures the hopeful spirit of those first, joyous days of spring, as flower buds begin to stand out against warm, sun-set skies. In this powerful print, spindly, silhouetted branches are crowned with white blossom, opening against a flat, copper-coloured background. At last, the glorious, yet transitory promise of early spring can be kept and enjoyed the whole year round!"

"Tardis - Gold Leaf By Not Now Nancy" |
"The work of Not Now Nancy stages a dialogue between an Arcadian past and n urban modernity, drawing conflicting themes into a harmonious and beautiful blend. Her prints create a fusion of layers, building found, antique illustrations, hand drawn elements, and symbolic imagery together, to achieve a kaleidoscopic aesthetic. The Tardis - Doctor Who’s iconic time-and-space-travelling police box - stands at the centre of the print, surrounded by a cosmic collage of elements: hazy star charts overly the surface of the time-machine, while thick flowers blossom on Meccano grids, and a Weeping Angel presides over the quietly haunting scene. It’s must have for the Whovian - and for any with a keen eye on contemporary art treasures."

"Flamingo Ground By Nolasean" |
"Nolasean is an independent, creative studio, producing sculpture, and print-based ephemera in limited edition runs. Inspired by the explosive Abstract Expressionism of the 1950s and the playful Pop Art of the 1960s, Nolasean’s work sits somewhere at the hinge of these twentieth-century giants - but with a fresh, twenty-first century take, mixing collage with paint, typography with pure abstraction, for a bold, contemporary aesthetic. Set into a perfect disc, ‘Flamingo’ is a gorgeous mash-up of colour and pattern, all brought together in beautifully balanced bricolage. With its soft-pink flamingo feathers, blossoming out against panels of moss-green and loopy pattern, ‘Flamingo’ recalls cutting-edge, mid-century collage art, brought up-to-date with digital techniques and a keen eye for contemporary style."

"Above The Sun By Andrew Millar" |
"Inspired by traditional Eastern art, Andrew Millar works with a range of media to create a breathtaking collage aesthetic. Layering gold and silver leaf over instant film, Millar’s pieces are soft and delicate, suffused with an intangible, haunting quality and a feel of times past. ‘Above the Sun’ combines a contemporary collage approach with a dreamy vintage aesthetic. The silhouette of a woman in profile, adorned in a richly patterned kimono, is overlaid with the ghostly apparition of a human skull and set against a dazzling panel of 24ct Gold Leaf. Beautiful and haunting, Millar’s print recalls the energy of early photography and surrealism, for a gorgeous gem of contemporary art."

"Under a Summer Sky I By Emma Reynolds" |
"For contemporary, fine-art print-maker, Emma Reynolds, the sky’s the limit; quite literally. Her artworks are characterised by a fascination with playful and experimental processes that translate sky to canvas, capturing the light, ethereal qualities of the celestial screen within the limits of the printed work. There’s nothing like a summer heat haze for evoking warm, childhood memories; and Reynolds’ ‘Under a Summer Sky I’ does just that. An expanse of pink, dusk sky settles over a craggy, silhouetted landscape, where a single tree grows and a band of children dance beneath cirrus clouds. Fizzy with nostalgia, ‘Under a Summer Sky I’ perfectly captures the feeling of endless summer days, stretching out with unlimited possibility. Yet if Reynolds’ print is a tribute to times-past it is also a toast to days-to-come; a reminder to keep our eyes set towards the hopeful horizon of the future."

Part of Hayward’s ‘Above the Clouds’ series, ‘Above the Clouds - 11’ depicts a disused water tower in Kensal Town, recently renovated by interior designer Tom Dixon as a boutique living space. Hayward has captured the idiosyncratic, industrial 1930s design in photographic greyscale, fading into puffs of white vapour as it rises, light as a feather, above the clouds…"

"The Shadow Took Shape - large By Victoria Topping" |
"Victoria Topping creates, in her own words, ‘music for the eyes’. Heavily influenced by all aspects of music - from the styling of 70s Jazz to the passion of Gospel and the groove of Disco - Topping synthesises the rhythmic and the melodic into her synaesthetic originals and limited edition prints, creating artworks with their own unique soul. A kaleidoscopic collage of colour and print, ‘The Shadow Took Shape - Small’ distills the energy of riotous music into the visual form. Against a pale, tangerine background, Topping assembles a mash-up of motifs, from cosmic bubbles to chemical compounds, dazzling crystals to precious gems, and just a glimpse of black and white photography, in the figure of a bracelet-adorned boy, for a gorgeous work of contemporary print-making."

Bright blocks of pink and black, orange and green, recall 1960s Jazz aesthetics, while a convergence of graphic motifs - from Cheese Plant fronds to cocktail glasses, slinking leopards to peaked-party hats - creates the smooth mood of a cocktail party, in this gorgeous synthesis of sound and vision."

"Amy Winehouse II By David Studwell" |
"David Studwell is a contemporary artist, whose work explores traditional print-making processes and cultures of the twentieth century. Taking found, 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, to keep Pop Art alive in the twenty-first century. ‘Amy Winehouse II’ depicts a grainy, black and white snapshot the Queen of Soul in her early days, seated in what looks like an open mic session and casually strumming a guitar. It’s a powerfully intimate shot: Winehouse, in jeans and t-shirt, looks so totally engrossed in the music, you can almost hear the soft strains of her inimitable voice. A rare treasure for the Amy Winehouse fan - and a must have for the avid collector of contemporary Pop Art."

"Drawing Across the Ochre By Simon Palmer" |
"Simon Palmer is an acclaimed, contemporary artist, whose work details scenes of the British landscape. Bearing the traces of Eric Ravillious and Paul Nash, Palmer’s work revels in palettes of soft, woody greens and earthy browns, favouring a non-linear perspective which perfectly captures the undulations of the downland or the labyrinthine layout of a meandering forest. ‘Drawing Across the Ochre’ depicts a snapshot of the English countryside in spring: beneath a warm, blue sky, lush fields roll into the distance, bordered by pretty hedgerows and delicate white flowers, huge oaks in full leaf and spindly trees still waking from their winter slumber. With its hazy palette of moss green and golden yellow, Palmer’s pastoral print offers a moment of calm reflection amidst a whirlwind of urban frenzy."

"Do Good Because of Tomorrow - Side B By Yinka Ilori" |
"Contemporary artist Yinka Ilori is known for his playful furniture design, blending the iconic postmodernism of Memphis Design with the colourful, folkloric traditions of his native Nigeria. Exclusive to Art Republic, Ilori has produced a limited run of two prints, which beautifully capture the indulgent optimism of his furniture design. 'Do Good Because of Tomorrow - Side B’ takes its name from the widely used Nigerian phrase, encouraging people to participate in good deeds and to foster positive change in the community. The philosophy of his childhood, passed down from his parents, 'Do Good Because of Tomorrow’ has suffused Ilori’s work to-date and this colourful print - a bold collection of colour and shape, pattern and texture - seems to bottle all the optimism of the African adage with spirited, artistic prowess."

"Free By NadeemArt" |
"The work of contemporary artist NadeemArt is marked by its introspective intensity. Featuring the recurring trope of the Nowhere Man, a faceless figure who assumes the mixed emotions of both artist and viewer, NadeemArt’s pieces are suffused with a blend of beauty, poignancy and elegiac reflection. ‘Free’ depicts the solitary figure of the Nowhere Man, standing in a blank white space. Yet in this depiction, NadeemArt’s signature figure has shrugged off his usual hunched posture and stands, instead, in a pose of sheer optimism and joy: fists raised in the air, free at last! There is real power in the minimalist image, not only aesthetically - through the use of stark monochrome and crisp composition - but emotionally too, in its poignancy and stirring sentiment."

"Luminous B By Doze Green" |
"Pioneering graffiti artist Doze Green is known for his contemporary model of organic cubism. Fusing kinetic action painting with detailed layers, fluid lines, and concentric planes, Doze Green’s work mixes eclectic sources, from H. P. Lovecraft to Japan’s Edo Period, space-time theory to metaphysics, for a unique and hypnotic aesthetic. Like Picasso on acid, ‘Luminous B’ explores the visual possibilities of fragmented forms and skewed perspective with urban flair. An assemblage of animal body parts - from avian beaks to canine muzzles - converge at the heart of the print, melding together in ribbons of bright colour. Layered over a gritty background of dark, blocky paint, the piece seems to emanate light and energy for a truly luminous work of contemporary art."

The surrounding, woodland copse - the traditional setting of the mythic fairytale - is shrouded in eerie, nighttime shadow, receding into the background against the flickering flames, which hold the viewers’ attention with the hypnotic, primeval intensity of the burning bonfire."

"Glass Swans By Rosie Emerson" |
"The work of contemporary artist Rosie Emerson explores the female form through a range of different media. From photography, to printmaking, to painting, Emerson works with diverse techniques - gilding with gold leaf, or exposing negatives to the sun, or adding charcoal powder, ash and saw dust to a painting - in order to tangibly depict the beauty of femininity. Under a rich canopy of beads, tassels, and petals, a woman in a white dress leads a pair of glass swans: a strange and surreal procession from the past, captured under the watercolour proscenium arch like a miniature diorama. Beautiful, breathtaking, and powerfully escapist, ‘Glass Swans’ is a precious little gem of contemporary printmaking."

"Excelsior By Prefab77" |
"Art collective Prefab77 take contemporary street art to new heights - literally. Their urban artworks to-date include awe-inspiring paste-ups in Newcastle and Brighton, each spanning the size of a three-storey building. Their work relies on heavy texture, using collage techniques, thick application of gloss, and bounteous coatings of spray-paint, to create bold, busy and beautiful prints. A mash-up of the familiar and the totally innovative, ‘Excelsior’ blends traditional, Tudor portraiture with contemporary collage aesthetics for a truly singular work of urban art. A woman sits for her collage-portrait, in antiquated dress: squint you eyes, and this could be Anne Boleyn in her puff sleeved gown, string of pearls at the neck and peaked bonnet on her brow. A closer look reveals a dazzling array of collage elements, from badges and patches, to patterns and prints, all jumbled together in electric shades of black, white, and cherry-red, for a captivating street-to-canvas aesthetic."

"Peeled Lemon with Glass - after Willem Kalf By Chris Kettle" |
"Brighton based artist Chris Kettle is known for his ‘New Still Life’ paintings: inspired by the antique masters, Kettle has updated the traditional form, creating unexpected arrangements from obscure objects, and realising his explosive vision through a hyper-real aesthetic. Merging realism with abstraction, ‘Peeled Lemon with Glass After Willem Kalf’ depicts a still life scene: glassware, a half-peeled lemon, and pleats of bright red fabric, are loosely arranged on a darkened table. Recalling the aesthetic of the Dutch Golden Age painter who gives his name to the title, ‘Peeled Lemon with Glass After Willem Kalf’ plays with the painterly power of light and dark, as luminescent highlights bounce from the glass against the deep, abyssal background of charcoal grey. With its ghostly quality, the print evokes the past, while speaking to the contemporary moment with innovative style."

"Deliverance - Copper Foil By Cassandra Yap" |
"Contemporary artist Cassandra Yap merges beauty and sensuality in her limited edition prints. Using photomontage techniques, Yap explores femininity and sexuality, through images of vintage pin-ups, mixed with gentle flora and fauna, delicate butterfly wings, and exquisite colour palettes. But don’t be fooled by surface sweetness: her aesthetic is unsettled with dark undertones, as images of death and decay creep in for a rich and contemplative mood. ‘Deliverance - Copper Foil’ revels in characteristic Yap sensuality: the bright, copper-coloured butterfly that fills the print reveals itself to be a collaged amalgam of seductive pin-up girls, provocatively posing for the camera. Yet all is not what it seems: nestling amongst the glamour girls are a series of hidden, human skulls, for a quietly ominous memento mori. Hand finished with Copper Leaf, subtly distressed for a vintage effect, each edition contains its own, uniquely beautiful variations."

Full of London grit and punk attitude, the band lean casually against a wall, unapologetic and confrontational, but radiating rakish charm. Studwell finishes the hand-pulled Silkscreen with washes of saturated blue and salmon-pink, lifting the greyscale with Pop highlights. A rare treasure for the Clash fan - and a must have for the avid collector of contemporary Pop Art."

With her sharp eye for graphic composition, Topping beautifully captures the vibrancy and vitality of marine crustacean, in this gorgeous work of contemporary print-making."
