Philip James Chandler is a 29 year old portrait and figurative painter, currently based in North Yorkshire, England.
His paintings are derived from continued fascination and research of the human body, specifically the figure and the mind that occupies. Drawing on his own experiences and those of others, he explores subjects such as aesthetic satisfaction, mental health and their abstraction.
Although she grew up in an artistic environment, Kuala Lumpur-based Peisy Ting did not set out to be an artist, but a lingering affection for art and design which led her to Birmingham City University, UK where she graduated with a degree in Visual Communications in 1999. Upon her return to Malaysia, she then spent more than a decade and a half as an art director in advertising before taking a heartfelt leap to pursue her hidden passion to paint.
Katie Hallam is fascinated with the complexity of a digital image and also the unpredictable nature of how an image can be altered either intentionally or via the simple product of an error; a glitch. These errors in technology are normally fleeting moments or ‘hiccups’ in transmission where screens freeze, break up the data, crackle the sound or fuzz out completely! We all find these errors a lot less tolerated and something that just shouldn’t happen in ‘today’s world’ as we continue to strive for perfection and instant, seamless results.
We are delighted to introduce the talented artist Aphra O’ Connor to The FLUX Review. Aphra assembles pattern and form aiming to create a dynamic equilibrium within her work, bringing together 2d and 3d design in coadunation and absolute equivalence. This balance is critical in allowing Aphra to unite sculptural forms and drawn patterns in a new dimension that is both flat and solid.
Day Bowman is a graduate of Chelsea School of Art and London University whose painting lies on the axis of abstraction and figuration.

Chris Horner is a British artist who lives and works in Hampshire. He received his BA in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey, UK. He also completed his MA in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey in 2018.
Horner’s artwork explores the relationship between artist and material where he transforms pre used building materials into painted sculptural artworks. All of his works originate from an invented movement known as an ‘Unknown working process’, the key word in this description is ‘unknown’ as this means to not know and to animate characteristics of the unfamiliar.
Day-z is a London born artist who graduated in Fine Art from Central St Martins. With a pencil as the main tool of choice, Day-z fuses techniques learned from the old and new masters with contemporary ideas found among street art and advertising. Day-z was awarded the Derwent Art Prize ‘People’s Choice Award’.
Sarah Pooley’s work focuses on paintings, which can be seen as a study of artificial simulations through the exploration of social spaces and their use of industrialised technology. The creation of consumerist social space deliberately aims to manipulate experience and affect visitors through the use of architecture, elaborate interior design and artificial lighting; technology is increasingly present within these social spaces.
Laurence Causse-Parsley (LAC) was born in France, educated in Paris and Britain, LAC’s first solo exhibition took place in India in 2003. Lac lived for 10 years in Asia, India, Taiwan and Thailand. Relocated to London in 2010 where she set up her studio at Make Space Studios in the vibrant London South East. Shuttling between countries and cultures, LAC takes the freedom to select materials from changing contexts, the result being a very distinctive style best described as contemporary, dense, vibrant, and evocative.
Maria Pierides renders in colour the stories of the physical and emotional landscapes that formed in her experience of being born in Greece, growing up in England and Cyprus and now living and working in Wales.
Gina Parr works predominantly in the medium of painting, but also photographs when traveling: her way of painting whilst on the move. Her work is driven by autobiographical themes and natural reference, exploring the human condition through connections to place, time, space and memory. She has exhibited widely in galleries and art fairs in the UK and completed commissions in The Middle East, Belguim and London.
Wojtek is a Polish artist living in London. On his journey to understanding his own path he studied fine art as well as graphic design and make-up. His art is intuitive and combines a fascination with organic bodies and how they interact with the spiritual aspects of being. He believes life is formed from both light and darkness and both are essential for a balanced existence.
Lisa Carletta is a Fashion Photographer and Digital Media Artist splitting her time between London, Brussels and Milan. In 2017, she completed a Master in Fine Art at Royal College of Art, London.
