Shauna Blanchfield

Shauna's Website

Irish muralist, portraitist & street artist, based in New Cross, Southeast London. Shauna’s visual arts practice is grounded in figuration and reflects how self-definition is informed by place. She is interested in questions of unreliable memories, collective social identity, and inter-dependence.

She has recently begun a series of ethereal portraits of women and girls interacting with light, both a visual investigation of the playfulness of light on a figure and a symbolic gesture recognising how painting in a community of women brought sparked a new energy in her artistic practice. She is also experimenting with geometry, 3D-space and optical illusion work.

Experienced in working with private clients, community groups and schools on producing bespoke murals.

A Monument to Summer, 2024. 100% waste: discarded Actimel bottles, leftover buttons, bits, bobs, fruit nets, ringpulls, old business cards and a whole lot of stitching, crocheting and loving on a few layers, 100x100cm.

Ecoartivist, Rubbish Artist

Francesca Busca

https://www.francescabusca.art

As an Eco-artivist, ‘Rubbish artist’ and mosaicist, I pioneer sustainable art and create my artworks entirely out of waste.
Torn between optimism and surrender, haunted by the idea of mankind’s imminent self-destruction, I believe in a future through systemic re-thinking. Every tessera I create is in itself a protest against our disposable lifestyle. I thoroughly enjoy working within the ethical and material limitations involved, working with materials which often take years to gather, and whose legacy I like to extend beyond their mere creation, as the starting point for a continued, multi-faceted narrative through layers of staged photography.
Gesamtkunstwerk, my commitment to sustainability encompasses every aspect of my life, from veganism to renewables, second-hand clothes (…) to not flying.

Ex-City solicitor, I then graduated with distinction at LSoM in 2019, where I also lectured Fabrication. Internationally, I exhibited in 100+ venues, was published in 90+ articles and textbooks, and won 20+ awards.

Founder of Payment in Kind(ness)© and ArtforTrash©, I also run pro-bono art projects on eco-awareness and sustainability.

I am now on a retainer with the Institute of Marine Sciences in Venice, collaborating with the institute and with some prestigious art institutes over the next few years.

Painter and Photographer

Samuel Golc

HadashArt

Being both an artist and art psychotherapist, I am interested in the healing capacity of art as well as its role in conveying meaning and communication with both the internal and external words. I draw inspiration for my paintings from my unconscious as it manifests in dreams and visions. I am inspired by esoteric sciences such as Kabbalah and quantum mechanics. My treatment of photography evokes that of painting and is highly experimental in nature. The shots are created with the use of self-made optical devices, which allow me to beguile the camera into shooting abstract images. In more than one way these instruments replace paint tubes and brushes.

My practice is about boundaries. I believe The rise of the idea of “posthuman” had, in many ways, shaken the fundamentals of dualism. To think that there is an absolute binary relationship between human and machines, nature and culture, object and image, identity, gender ... etc, is simply missing a lot regarding the quintessence of being. And I believe this “missing” is where contemporary art needto engage. Thus I like to work around blurring and challenging these boundaries.I work with image, live art and various forms of media.

I am currently working withbiometric data and computer language, and how the entanglement of the two creating a condition where I am in between physical and non - physical existence, me becoming together with the machine.

I am an artist and architect based in West London.
My medium is black ink pen and marker on Fabriano paper. I create a series of drawings and am currently working on a Biophilia project focused on nature and culture themes.
I was brought up in the forest of Borneo and my work reflects my heritage of living in nature.
My drawings series began in 2010 amid the financial crisis. Then after the pandemic struck in 2019, I have been rigorously spending more time on drawing series in which I am seeking a representation for my works.
