Joel Biddle – Q&A
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.

Richard Shipley – Q&A
Richard Shipley is an abstract painter who originates from York, North Yorkshire and is now a resident of Bristol in the South West of England. Shipley’s love of art began in 1987 when he was introduced to graffiti art. This inspired him to pick up the can, and the rest is history. Over the years Shipley’s work has evolved from his early graffiti writings to the non-objective abstract aesthetic we see today. Heavily influenced by the dynamism of the Italian Futurists such as Umberto Boccioni and the geometry of Kazimir Malevich and the Suprematist movement, Shipley keeps his roots in graffiti art.
