British artist Claire Milner was famously commissioned to create the Blue Marilyn portrait for Rihanna, but her personal body of work is made up of paintings inspired by her time spent in Africa and focusing on social and environmental issues. Mother and Child, alongside five additional works were acquired by CamFed, an organization helping fight poverty in Africa by educating and empowering girls. Milner’s artworks are held in a number of private collections, including Rihanna’s Blue Marilyn. The portrait has appeared on The Official Website of The Estate of Marilyn Monroe, and has been showcased by Swarovski. It was included in a special edition of Vogue Paris which was guest edited by Rihanna who featured the work in a profile of her favourite things. Milner’s portrait of Amy Winehouse appeared in an exhibition curated by the Amy Winehouse Foundation to mark what would have been the late singer’s 30th birthday.

Joel Biddle is a photographic artist working in Kent in the United Kingdom, recently graduated in photography at the Arts University of Bournemouth. His work is an exploration of the contrast between the still and the fluid, the harsh texture of geological structures, and the glassy smooth of the surface of the sea. His work follows the research for a calming sense of tranquillity and a sense of quietness that reflects the locations in his works. These fractures of time transport the viewer to an unknown, with an absence of context being important. A sense of isolation is established, but it isn’t bleak isolation, it’s more of a break from the chaos, a choice rather than something forced.
