Q&A – Peisy Ting

Although she grew up in an artistic environment, Kuala Lumpur-based Peisy Ting did not set out to be an artist, but a lingering affection for art and design which led her to Birmingham City University, UK where she graduated with a degree in Visual Communications in 1999. Upon her return to Malaysia, she then spent more than a decade and a half as an art director in advertising before taking a heartfelt leap to pursue her hidden passion to paint.

Q&A – Katie Hallam

Q&A – Katie Hallam

Katie Hallam is fascinated with the complexity of a digital image and also the unpredictable nature of how an image can be altered either intentionally or via the simple product of an error; a glitch. These errors in technology are normally fleeting moments or ‘hiccups’ in transmission where screens freeze, break up the data, crackle the sound or fuzz out completely! We all find these errors a lot less tolerated and something that just shouldn’t happen in ‘today’s world’ as we continue to strive for perfection and instant, seamless results.

Interview – Aphra O’ Connor

We are delighted to introduce the talented artist Aphra O’ Connor to The FLUX Review.  Aphra assembles pattern and form aiming to create a dynamic equilibrium within her work, bringing together 2d and 3d design in coadunation and absolute equivalence.  This balance is critical in allowing Aphra to unite sculptural forms and drawn patterns in a new dimension that is both flat and solid.

Chris Horner is a British artist who lives and works in Hampshire. He received his BA in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey, UK. He also completed his MA in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey in 2018.

Horner’s artwork explores the relationship between artist and material where he transforms pre used building materials into painted sculptural artworks. All of his works originate from an invented movement known as an ‘Unknown working process’, the key word in this description is ‘unknown’ as this means to not know and to animate characteristics of the unfamiliar.
