With a medley of acrylics, pens, and spray cans as his tools, Giles orchestrated a symphony of rough brush strokes, whimsical dribbles, and deliberate smears. Each stroke told a story, each color a whisper of emotion, weaving a tapestry of visual delight.
Yet, like a shooting star that graces the night sky all too briefly, Giles’s journey met an untimely end in 2020. Though he may have departed, his legacy continues to inspire; his art is immortalised in the hearts of those who beheld its splendour.

The result is a visually striking array of pieces that seamlessly blend the organic grace of cats with the structured complexity of geometric shapes.

Jody is a Bristol-based designer and artist. He began painting in 1987 at the now infamous Barton Hill Youth Club in Bristol, developing a solid black-and-white figurative style alongside other Bristol artists: Inkie, Cheo and Banksy. He considers himself more of an aerosol artist. His work takes inspiration from fashion and film and brings a strong, graphic and noirish take on photorealistic female portraits and figurative subjects. His work explores themes of emotional depths that lurk just under the surface, thought-provoking meditation through a darkly glamourous aesthetic.

His works offer a skilled and sometimes shocking reflection of us and our modern society. Executed in a classical motif with a refined palate and delicate brush strokes, they cast a mirror on our own lives. Andrew skillfully developed his technique, utilising materials such as curtain lining that he stretched over handmade frames and household paints, which have now become his preferred tools. Unbeknown to the artist, his technique ‘soak stain’ showcased by artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollok & Morris Louis had its feet firmly embedded in the world of Abstract paintings.

Mason Storm did not follow the traditional route into art, and his training and artistic education in painting, sculpture, ceramics and photography came from, as he puts it, “hanging around with artists from an early age at a local youth centre”. These artists, however, include some of the UK’s most celebrated, from the world’s best art schools, including the Royal Academy, Royal College and Central St.Martins. Mason’s work is, at times, provocative as it is beautiful. However, just like his hero Caravaggio, the work has hidden elements which the viewer is invited to find and decipher, whether it’s a socio-political statement or an outright joke.

Francisco Serrano’s journey into sculpture art started in 2017 with the project Bikebonesbristol. He managed to mix his skills as a bicycle framebuilder with his passion for recycling and foraging. All the bicycle parts and most of the skulls are found in the streets of Bristol or in the woodland around it.
Working with skulls, bikes, or old machines gives him raw material that once had a life. That is their intrinsic beauty, like patterns on wood. It’s a beauty that naturally catches the human eye.

Cheba began painting the streets of Bristol in the early 2000s. Shortly after picking up a spray can, he quickly became addicted to painting the city’s landscape and has been a long-standing figure in his hometown of Bristol’s thriving street art culture.
Cheba has gone on to showcase his work across the World. Cheba’s recent work is heavily inspired by Space, specifically the Hubble Telescope photos. His works depict parts of the cosmos like nebulas and star clusters, but because the subject is so otherworldly and unfamiliar, it blurs the line between the representational and the abstract.

The family of dysfunctional characters began to evolve; they started to satirise and hold to ransom all that fell into their grasp, a welcome jolt of subversion in today’s media-saturated environment, the very same thing he’d grown up on. Bank notes were drawn, printed, and put into circulation for the unsuspecting to receive their change, and billboards were taken over with public service announcements. He wants to encourage people to not just to ‘see’, but to look at what surrounds them and their lives, reflecting our increasingly bizarre popular culture, re-thinking and reworking cultural figures and genres to comment on our ethos of conspicuous consumption. It is a Pandora’s box of bittersweet delights, sweet and sugary on the surface but with an unfamiliar, uncomfortable taste beneath.

Julian Alexander Quaye’s current works illustrate his love of ironic juxtaposition, and his interest in Victorian and Edwardian colours, with his series of human-form animal portraits. When asked about his influences in creating his animal series of paintings, Quaye cites the wit of surrealist Rene Magritte with the animal drawing styles of Beatrix Potter, Walt Disney and Warner Brothers, encapsulated in a portrait in the manner of American realist painter Edward Hopper but with a liberal dose of kitsch. Quite a recipe.

Personally signed by Ronaldinho, it comes complete with its own official certificate of authenticity, which serves as proof that the item is genuine

The visual work he creates is often themed around ritual, altered states, and subconscious imagery, which he combines to produce ambiguous works of imagination. After many years working with public arts, museums, theatres, music/film/animation festivals, and other creative contexts, he now focuses on his own creative practice and has exhibited in galleries and Art fairs in the UK, Europe, and the USA.

SC has jumped a few countries and locations since he was a child: the US, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and the UK. In Berlin, he discovered street art and became a big fan of Noir. The rest is a few confusing years between different names and identities. His first tag was in Paris in the late 90s, and later, he secluded himself into watercolours and illustrations but truly loved the power of mixed media and stencils. SC is a loner and nomad by nature; he is now back into the mix after a long Hiatus. He got lost in Colombia and ended up in Morocco. Nowadays, SC bounces between Kent and L.A., looking for inspiration and a strike to feed his flow.
