One of his characteristics are the isolated characters and elements, which find themselves integrated into the place in which he paints his graffiti. These characters are often described as quirky, loving and dreamlike. “As far as I can remember, I have always loved 3D and trompe l'oeil” explains Cart1 and for this reason he likes to work with black and white, painting his characters.

TARA CRANSWICK

Tara Cranswick is born in Zimbabwe and currently lives and works in London. Using only oil paint, she creates a rich and varied surface built up of brushstrokes, drips, blobs, washes, smears and calligraphic flourishes. Any hint of figratuve content – a house on a hill, a river, a market – evaporates almost as soon as it is glimpsed, a mirage produced by the swirling, frenetic paint.”

Lucas Dupuy

Lucas Dupuy was born 1992 in London, where he currently lives and works.

In his art Lucas Dupuy creates abstracted works through a stylistic combination of painting drawing and design. He has developed a distinctive artistic language that aims to find an intersection between both language and form and in making things that bridge these elements. There is an evident influence of the monumental dynamic materials and constructs of Brutalist architecture of the 20th century in his paintings and drawings and he wants to show the relationship between perspective, composition and structure.

About his work he says that within his practice he is exploring relationships between architecture, nature, language and form. It really varies how he gets started on a piece of work, he spends a lot of time drawing, this really informs the painting and the sculpture and helps him get started on ideas for larger work. Also looking at photographs and listening to music helps the process too.

Helen Herbert

Helen Herbert is an award winning artist who was born Scotland. She studies under John Bolam at the Art School of Cambridge in the 1970s and she worked as a children’s book illustrator and writer for about 20 years. She now works as a full time artist from her studio in North Norfolk.

Helen Herbert uses many layers of transparent oil paint to create her images. About herself she says that she is constantly changing and improving her paintings so any preparatory drawings are redundant, but then stops when she realises that she can’t add anything more to make it better. Most her paintings are inspired by an idyllic Scottish childhood, full of memories and imagination. For the viewer the characters in her paintings look nearly dreamlike and although she is painting her own little stories, she invites the viewer to imagine their own.

Terri Hallman

While still in school Hallman began working as a product designer, her work in this field won numerous international awards.

She still is using shapes and different textures to create most of her art.
