| "Purple Rain By Kerry Roper" |
| "London based artist Kerry Roper is known for his iconic woodcut prints. Having been included in a 2009-12 touring exhibition at the V&A, and his work used as the cover art for the accompanying book, Roper is held in high esteem in the world of contemporary street art. ‘Purple Rain’ depicts a simple interior set-up: a bare wooden floor and a roughly plastered wall act as the backdrop to a small table and two metal chairs, one black, the creamy purple. Above the table hangs a work of art, entirely comprised of words: ‘This colour &’, it reads, in a purple that matches the chair, ‘Rain’, in the complementary black. It takes a second to register, but Roper’s print is in fact a conceptual depiction of the iconic Prince track, ‘Purple Rain’. With its satirical jab at modern minimalism, ‘Purple Rain’ is a paragon of contemporary printmaking."

| "Dark Knight - Blue By Trafford Parsons" |
| "Trafford Parsons’ extraordinary and long-spanning career has made its mark on the art world. Avowedly anti-establishment, Parsons work mines popular culture, from B movies to B sides, and brings an energetic street-art aesthetic to the familiar icons that haunt his work. Fusing the figurative with the abstract, ‘Dark Knight - Blue’ depicts the cowled face of Batman in profile, composed in shades of black and electric blue and set against a swirling, deco pattern. Jarring the two aesthetics - the brooding superhero with the floral decoration - Trafford creates a beautifully off-beat print, confounding our expectations of the comic book character with strong visual acuity."

| "GONE Mickey XL 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 - Mickey XL’ depicts the silhouette of Disney’s iconic mouse, seen as if behind a layer of translucence. As Mickey presses his hand against the impenetrable barrier, the familiar figure becomes a sudden spectacle, all 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."

| "Colour Splat Cloud (Black), 2017 By Ian Davenport" |
| "One of the notorious Young British Artists, Ian Davenport has helped to define a generation. With his process-driven paintings, Davenport creates an instantly iconic aesthetic, pushing abstraction to its limits and letting materiality take centre stage. Printed onto black, fine art paper, ‘Colour Splat Cloud (Black) 2017’ gives voice to the beauty of raw, abstract colour. Splatters of multicoloured pigment crowd the centre, merging and melding as streaks course down the print in thick, heavy drips. Immediately dynamic, every tiny splatter tells its own story, expressing the bodily force of the artist’s process with powerful intensity. Violent yet beautiful, ‘Colour Splat Cloud (Black) 2017’ is a paragon of contemporary abstract art."

| "Rainbow Banana By Shuby" |
| "Contemporary street artist Shuby cites dancer Josephine Baker, the films of Busby Berkeley and Andy Warhol’s Pop prints amongst her greatest influences. The result is a unique and eye-catching aesthetic that revels in technicolour, kitsch absurdism, and bold compositions, to astonishing success. ‘Rainbow Banana’ is striking in its loud, graphic minimalism: a half-peeled banana (a recurring image in Shuby’s street-art) sits at the centre of the print, in tones of pink and lilac. Shuby follows the fluid lines of the curved fruit, layering blocks of colour around it in a rainbow spectrum. Powerfully psychedelic, ‘Rainbow Banana’ is a brilliant mash-up of iconic, 60s counter-cultural art and urban, 90s acid aesthetic."

The result is a unique and eye-catching aesthetic that revels in technicolour, kitsch absurdism, and bold, graphic compositions, to astonishing success. ‘The Return of Charles’ reappropriates an antique print with hand painted details: a greyscale illustration shows Charles II, being borne across the ocean to reclaim the throne in a seventeenth-century rowing boat. Only - not quite. Shuby has painted her signature cheeky bunny head over the King-to-be’s face, with pink, grinning mouth of buck-teeth, floppy ears, and silly stare. The tension between the kitsch and colourful juvenility of the rabbit head, with the stately illustration is inspired: a brilliant merging of old and new in a compelling, contemporary print."

| "Kozyndan are a contemporary art duo, whose work plays traditional Japanese imagery - from Hokusai waves to Anime styles - exploring the delicate relationship between the banal and the bizarre. ‘Orcas and Pandas’ is the third image from Kozyndan’s ‘Animal Odd Couples’ series, which pairs creatures from he natural world who are battling extinction in the face of human destruction. Despite its loaded political statement and bleak comment on our fragile environment, the print is fun and refreshing, depicting giant pandas riding merrily on killer whales, against a semi-abstract pattern of blue ripples and green bamboo shoots. A glorious merging of ebony and ivory, the poster is a powerful reminder of the beauty of the natural world and our responsibility to protect it."

| "Strange, surreal and esoteric: the work of contemporary artist Belles Petit vividly captures the realm of the dream, through complex multi-layered processes of illustration. Working at the intersection of the organic and the industrial, Belles Petit draws inspiration from the natural world, exploring the boundaries and contrasts between the human and the animal, the dream and the machine. At the centre of ‘Rising Phoenix’, a woman swings from suspended bar, her face tipped backwards towards the viewer in raptures of ecstasy. All around her, Belles Petite has collaged an assemblage of fragments: flora and fauna, hand-written scraps, birds, and butterflies, all rendered in black and white with highlights of shimmering gold and soft pastel pigment. With its beautiful, vintage aesthetic, ‘Rising Phoenix’ tells a story in non-linear progression: an interlacing of imagery with bewitching, visual prowess."

| "Richard Berner is a Brighton based illustrator, whose work draws inspiration from a colourful array of cultural iconography: from Star Wars to Disney, Brighton landmarks to Amy Winehouse, Berner creates illustrations bursting with imagination and eccentricity. With a flare for fine art technique, all of Berner’s ink drawings are brought to life with colour and texture, often applying paint drips and splatters, before the print-making process. ‘Elvis’ depicts the eponymous singer, his famous features painted with thick lines of black pigment, which Berner has allowed to drip, adding flecks and speckles for a dynamic and textured effect. Into his slicked back hair, Berner has painted stripes of bright colour in rainbow shades, while daubs of red and salmon pink surround the singer’s portrait, capturing his colourful character with artistic prowess."

| "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. ‘Peale’ depicts Rembrandt Peale’s portrait of William Henry Harrison, distorted almost beyond recognition. A man poses at the centre, richly attired in black and gold militia uniform and set against a celestial background of soft sky and clouds. Blades has worked into the nineteenth century 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."

The use of abstract expression is deployed to perfection in the print: subtle and nuanced, Rolph creates an artistic balance that seems to move before the viewers eyes, drawing all of the disparate elements together around a dynamic flow, rather than a fixed focal point."

| "I'm OK AP By Euan Roberts" |
| "Euan Roberts is a London based artist whose work explores the unspectacular using bright, childlike colours in thick acrylic paint. His syncopated compositions explore the everyday and the ignored to reflect the unrefined nature of humanity that contemporary culture seeks to repress. ‘I’m OK’ forms part of Roberts’s recent body of work, which celebrates the natural world through a series of simple and organic scenes. White waves fill the bottom of the image under a salmon-pink sky, both coloured with daubs of bright, blocky paint. From the centre of the frothing ocean, a hand emerges, holding up a small sign that reads ‘I’m OK’. The piece recalls the tragedy of Stevie Smith’s poem ‘Not Waving but Drowning’ while, simultaneously capturing a sense of optimism, through its colourful aesthetic: a brilliant encapsulation of our very human dualisms and contradictions."

The print depicts a composite of patchwork patterns, visually woven together to create a large love heart. Using an array of hand finished elements - including gold, silver, and copper leaf, pearlescent glazes, high gloss spot varnishes, fluorescent pigment, and fluffy clouds - Nomura creates astonishing texture, galvanising each panel of the heart. Four leaf clovers and flowers, cats and clouds, merge in a rainbow palette, powerfully recalling the peace movements of the 1960s and 70s to offer a glimpse of optimism in a time of turbulence. -->"

Merging realism with abstraction, ‘Still Life of Fruit and Flowers, After Van Huysym’ depicts a posy of flowers, recalling the aesthetic of the Dutch Baroque painter who gives his name to the title. Bold-red and luminescent-white petals seem to emerge from a deep, muddy background of charcoal greys and mossy greens, which Kettle has built up with textured streaks and daubs. With its ghostly quality, the print evokes the past, while speaking to the contemporary moment with innovative style. Finished with hand finished details including white and red painted accents to the flowers."

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.” ’Scarface Sleeps (Red)’ depicts a still from the iconic 1980s movie, as the eponymous hero sleeps in a moment of vulnerability. Using only the two tones of inky black and cherry red, the figurative image shades into the abstract, only part decipherable with its electric contrast. Brilliantly composed, the print is filled with explosive energy, in this powerful transference of street to canvas."

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. ’Jaguar XL’ depicts an antique Jaguar, abandoned in an overgrown forest, its once-shining bonnet now half-hidden beneath fallen leaves. Wreathed in mist, the deserted car is ignited, as Soden draws our attention to the trace of now-absent figures: young lovers, perhaps, parked-up in the undergrowth, or a traveller, lost and searching for her destination. Profoundly beautiful, Soden’s haunting print speaks to our very human fascination with time, its passing, and all things ephemeral."

Suffused with humour and high visual impact, Jeffrey’s work crosses the line from graphic design to fine art: these are pieces that demand to be looked at, with their bold colour palettes, striking compositions, and satirical subject matter. ‘Bomb Ballerina (Large Green)’ depicts an elegant ballet dancer, her arms held aloft, mid-arabesque, her legs obscured by a billowing, atomic mushroom cloud which, on first appearance, looks nothing more than a frothy, Swan Lake tutu. Set against a bold, graphic background - a flat, block of soft turquoise with a creamy disc at its centre - the greyscale image is brought to life in this effortless harmony of colour, composition, and character."

| "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. ‘Wireless’ depicts a classic, early Renaissance portrait of a woman of status: white veils fall around her head, pearls lace her neck, and a richly embroidered bodice adorns her body, as she gazes form a high window onto the surrounding land. But, as the old adage goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and every tiny moment of Queen Mary’s down-time is cherished. Finally, at the close of the day, she can don her treasured beats headphones and zone out to her favourite extreme metal playlist. Per-fection. From the Artist ""Clever, strong but fair, Mary was the perfect Queen. She had many burdens and responsibilities, but every day at precisely 4pm Mary ensured she had an hour to herself to listen to an extreme metal playlist. Nothing relaxed the Queen more than hearing 'Scum' by Napalm Death. By 5pm, Mary was always ready and eager to once again face her royal tasks."
