As we where so impressed with the work we got we thought we would share the artists who submitted so you can support them and their practise

Check them out here:

 

Marcus Nodwell

My Northern Irish roots act as a foundation for investigating my identity as an artist. By exploring the representation of masculinity in today’s social climate, I use mixed media and layering techniques to establish a depiction of the human figure. I use my art practice as a research tool to demonstrate freedom, open-mindedness and social commentary, while carefully depicting my own artistic journey. I draw inspiration specifically from Jean – Michel Basquiat, Willem de Kooning and Alberto Giacometti, in order to fully establish my own unique vision.

Kerrie Illustrates

My work focuses on all things illustrative from art prints, stationary to hand painted ceramic pieces. I have a distinct style of  using bold colours and patterns throughout my work. This is heavily inspired by the world around us, plants, nature, landscapes, travelling (basically everything I have an interest in!) Only in the past year I have really defined the type of work I produce but this is forever changing as I love to try new things and experiment.

Leigh Lowry

I am a creative based in Belfast. I love to work with spray paints and gouache to make psychedelic space paintings of primarily insects with large planetary backgrounds. I really love making the contrast between super tiny creatures and the hugeness of space. Recently I’ve been writing pieces and finding information about the creatures in my art and the impact they have on the world. This process has been really interesting to see how even a little thing like a beetle can affect such a big place like Earth. My work can be found @leighoops on Instagram and is open to commissions through direct message there.

Jordain Molloy Gillen

Living in a world full of stars and a spectrum of colour, Jordain Molloy Gillen is an artist and designer, based in Northern Ireland, in​ spired by love, magic, a​ strology, mythology and storytelling. Creating work which tells a story or reflects on a particular moment in time, he has a dreamlike vision in which he likes to work with, using processes that incorporate colour, golden shine and illusionistic qualities, offering something you can only imagine from a dream. Everything he creates is special to him as it holds a concept, meaning or story which is personal or has inspired him as an artist and as a person. A magical form of escapism from everyday life.

Judith Guiney

I am a young sculpture student and illustrator working from Belfast, specializing in ceramics. I enjoy working with a wide variety of materials and subjects, but all my works tend to stem from the theme of nature. I paint landscapes, throw clay and transform household objects into models of living creatures, all of which are imbued with a sense of whimsy, a twist on old formulas.

Alana McDowell

I’m a multi-disciplinary designer and illustrator from Belfast. I work across a number of different mediums and creative sectors from digital to mural work, but the thing I’m most passionate about is illustration – small or large. I have a keen interest in pop-culture and current affairs which I like to try and incorporate into my pieces, and I love to use my freehand drawing skills to add a rebellious edge to campaigns and branding. You can expect heavy line work, bold type and stark contrasting colours from my work.
Brands I have worked with include Jameson, Vans, WWF and Schwarzkopf among others.

I create prints and am open for both commercial and independent commissions 🙂

Sofia Erto

I am an Italian-German photographer, who has been taking pictures for about ten years now. I have already been featured in different art magazines and had small personal

and group exhibitions in Berlin, Freiburg, Milan, Rome, Trieste and Mönchengladbach. My preferred genre is street photography. What keeps me doing it, is the fear of forgetting

what I have seen or felt. I use this mechanical eye as my artificial memory.
