Came across Oliver's work on Instagram the other day. I was struck at how he uses media in such a convincing way to create his emotive narrative pieces. He has a real eye for colour and story telling. 


Sophie Eliza Chadwick// Illustration Graduate - Recent work on the Wild Pony Shop in Falmouth Town.

There is something very calming about the way Harry captures things. He is able to frame his subject in an intriguing way without losing a sense of what he trying to convey to the viewer. This is one of my favourite shots of his. The lighting in particular and colour is beautiful.

Sarah's work is truly stunning. I've not seen work in a long time that has actually moved me so much. I think it is her use of colour and sense of motion she creates with media. She's a real gooden!

Amy's beautiful wooden pots are so so unique. I love following her work because she is someone who works really hard at honing a traditional craft. Her combination of pattern and colour is what makes her pieces really striking!//

Phyllida Barlow at the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh

I've spent the last week in Edinburgh where I visited some great exhibitions. I went to to my favourite gallery in Edinburgh, The Fruitmarket Gallery. The first exhibition I saw here was by the Artist Gabriel Orozco. His work has had a huge impact on my own practice, his use of shape and colour really intrigued me. Upon first seeing the display of Barlow's work I was struck at how the gallery had made amazing use of the space. Her work is dominating and powerful.                                  'Set' at the Edinburgh Fruitmarket Gallery 2015                                                         Her use of materials was very clever and the combination of plastic, paper and wood etc. showed a great contrast making each individual element stand out. I was en...

Artist Talks: Phoebe Atkey

Phoebe Atkey is a talented artist whose work I first saw on Instagram. Her commitment and enthusiasm for the arts is very inspiring. Her detailed drawings and attention to detail is what makes her stand out. Phoebe currently has over 25,000 followers in Instagram where she often uploads work. I interviewed Phoebe to gain more of an insight to her interests and how she creates such beautiful works using a variety of media. How often do you draw?  I try to draw everyday, even if it is just 15 minutes. What artists influence you?  I have always been interested in children’s book illustrations especially those of Quentin Blake and Ernest Shepherd. These two artists inspired me to draw from a very young age. As I have got older, I have also become interested in the works of Saul Bass, Herbert Leupin and Paul Rand. Do you see yourself going to Art School?  I would like to try getting into the industry without going to uni. However, I am lucky to live near an ex...

Artist Talks: Simon Lewis

When I was working at the Mall Galleries there was also work on display in the Threadneedle Space as part of the Haworth Prize. The work in this part of the gallery was 12 shortlisted works from people under the age of 30 who work up in the northern part of the country. The work on display was all very different but one that appealed to me was by the illustrator and printmaker Simon Lewis. His work ‘The Headrow’, a vibrant screenprint that captured the busy environment of a street. I was struck by this piece in particular because of the process and a way part of the print has been drawn. There was a lot of detail in the architecture and people and this created a really interesting narrative. His work has inspired me to push my line drawings further by including a more variety of mark-making to create more interest in what I am drawing and adding more texture to the work.  Find more about the Haworth Prize at: http://www.mallgalleries.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/haworth-prize...
