AimeeAMOUR

Aimee’s screenprints capture the tensions and gracefulness of movement, drawing from old and new traditions of mark making.

Influenced by the fluency and balance of Japanese brushstroke and graphic street art, she produces one off lengths of printed fabric and paper suitable for large scale commissions. Aimee works from her studio in Bristol, where she hosts international graphic art exhibitions curated alongside her partner.

A joint interest in Graffiti has led to this present collaboration. Combining contrasting techniques proves to be both a challenge and a source of creative inspiration.

Ponk

A Bristol based artist working in graffiti for over ten years, Ponk takes the essentials of graffiti letterforms, such as outlines, shading and highlights and adds his own fresh twist.

By contorting, extruding and embellishing shapes and patterns he creates his own style, making every piece look different from the last.

Often opting for a collaborative approach, Ponk enjoys the camaraderie and creativity of working together on a piece considering the overall composition of the wall in order to create the finished look of the production

Dibo

This versatile creator began his career realizing murals in a town near Alicante, called Petrer.

From the beginning his work was based on illustration & the discipline that developed alongside Graffiti which lead him to study animation and graphic design as tool to develop his

creative work.

Nowadays, Dibone is a great designer and draughtsman taking part in many international events.

His work is loaded with dynamism, alluding to a world painted with primary colours and plenty of figures that are twisted in his own physics.

Dora

Dora has been working as a professional artist for 10 years and is one of the very few successful female British urban artists working both on the street and in galleries today. Based in Bristol, her distinctive style encompasses Graffiti, illustrative ink, drawing on reclaimed wood and canvas and reflects her many Influences from art nouveau, Japanese prints, modern day burlesque and 50’s tattoo design all entwined within natural free flowing forms. Her collaborations include; Paris, Milk, Rowdy and Hine. and her designs have been seen on the streets of Bristol, Berlin and London.

The lowbrow pop art of Vinnie Nylon

Vinnie Nylon attended Suffolk College of art and design as well as the Brighton College of technology in the 90's where he began to branch out onto graphic design for the world of skateboarding, clothing and record companies. His visual language is built upon years of exposure to the wacky world of post war advertising, candy packaging, cartoons, sign writing, graffiti and produt design. "A place where all the collections and obsessions of my life collide"

Viwers will find crows sat on top of glass vases or perhaps a giant manicule morphing into a trumpet, pouring out notes of cartoon soda pop drips! 1050's housewives and admen draw your attention to the wonders of consumerism... "Luxury SHE desires at a price HE can afford" The underlying message often taken way out of context and given a savage twist in this visual soup. One mermaid like creature battles with her own hand spraying insecticide as she is invaded by bugs and creepy crawlies in the screen print "Death by aerosol" All of the candy coloured joy of this imagery is served up with a dose of wit and irony, leading us to the conclusion that things are rarely as the first appear.
