Questions of ‘shared space’ and ‘value’ of art arise when it comes from the city– the sum involves the means by which the art is made and the conditions that affect the artist. Mylo Elliot’s art is a complexity, a use of language and representation. Patterns are observed in writing, inherent structure- architecture, meaning and significance emerge. Working with single words and letters allows Elliott to construct fabric in painting and represent creative movement. By breaking down words in interaction, we can revalue what we already put into everyday communication.

Carp Matthew is a visual artist predominately working with oils. He is known for his dark, visceral and grotesque style featuring mutated lost characters, full of longing, despair and banality. Continually roving between subject and observer, Matthew’s visualizations are at once the artists’ own nihilistic and dark observations of contemporary society with all of its pitfalls as well as the artists’ own longing to understand and assimilate into the world around him. His abstract figures are often depicted in empty rooms or carrying out mundane and everyday tasks, whilst their true nature or feelings are revealed through mutated expressions or physical manifestations.

David Studwell is a contemporary British artist and printmaker who studied at Central St Martins School of Art. Having worked as an artist for over 20 years, Studwell harnesses the spirit of the sixties and seventies, the cult of celebrity and the legacy of Warhol to produce iconic screen prints. His works explore the darker side of fame, nostalgia and Americana-police mug shots of well-known stars show them at their most vulnerable, or at their most defiant. Private moments of icons at screen tests or during reflection become graphically public, produced in bold and vivid colours.
