So you'll be sure to find something that will suit every size of Christmas stocking. Here's a sample of the work on show:
Simone Lia, The Hoover doesn't Work. Simone began painting and drawing in her Dad’s tool shed at the age of 13. She went on to write and illustrate books for children, self-publish comics, write graphic novels including
Fluffy (a story of a bunny in denial) and has had her artwork hanging on the walls of The Tate Britain. As well as working to brief for commercial clients, Simone regularly creates stories with a regular cast of characters including Chip and Bean who have had their own strips and stories in The Independent and The Guardian. Simone has a new graphic novel Please God, Find Me A Husband! published by Jonathan Cape
Joy doon, point blank. Joy Doom Manifesto is the creation of Mark Wheatley, a Sussex based fine artist and printmaker specialising in limited edition prints, zines ,objects, publications and other wonderful stuff. The emphasis is on the production of unique and original prints with a playful and raw graphic sensibility.
David Humphries, Velorution.
Katy Goutefangea, both sides of a story. Katy Goutefangea is an artist living and working in London. Since graduating in 2009 she has exhibited work in various venues including The Museum of Childhood, Bankside Gallery and Pushkin House. She works predominantly as a printmaker often using textiles in her practice. Her work explores themes of childhood, memory and folk mythology and seeks to combine the technical precision of printing with ‘organic’ media such as embroidery and crochet.
Lynn Hatzius, untitled. Lynn works as a freelance illustrator on commissions for a variety of clients, mostly in publishing, as well as on personal projects as a collage artist and printmaker. By moving between these different areas and working with a variety of techniques, she has gained a distinctly personal direction in her image-making, which relies on an ever-growing collection of found material and recycled printed matter.
Peter Rapp, Brothers keeper. Peter lives and works in London. His work explores the paradox of how our search for identity drives our need for belonging.
River Jade. River Jade is concerned with the aesthetics of voyeurism, aiming at placing the viewer/ audience in a voyeur’s perspective. Her process begins with the intimacy of photography in the home, which is then translated into laser cut woodcuts. Each woodcut is a singularly cut figure, which is playfully arranged and rearranged to create an endless amount of scenarios. The freedom of this process grants River Jade the authority to manipulate the audience’s perception. In doing so she raises question of who holds the power within the realms of voyeurism. River Jade lives and works in Brighton.
Tinta was conceived in response to the recession, aiming to exhibit affordable art in spaces that are temporarily vacant. The aim is simple: to bring beautiful art into the home, whilst keeping the high street looking cheerful. View all the prints online at Tinta here.
