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.

As a conceptual artist, Franziska Ostermann’s medium is the word and the image. The central themes of her work are virtuality and identity. An important motif for Ostermann is the photographic self-portrait. Dealing with one’s being, online and offline, is the starting point of her work. The photographic self-portrait allows Ostermann to encounter herself. When the shutter is released, she is both the photographer and the photographed, in the same place. Is she doubled or split? Photographic splinters of our selves’ views represent our identity in a place that we cannot enter. The physicality itself becomes a barrier to its representation.
