Johanna Bath, a German artist, has exhibited nationally as well as in the United States. Fascinated by people and their relationship with time, she conveys the ‘bittersweet transiency and impossibility of preserving moments’ in her paintings. Bath’s artistic approach is both intuitive and impulse controlled, as well as traditional and resolutely modern. She creates using oils, acrylics, and spray paint on canvas.

Stephanie Unaeze is a Nigerian female Painter and Illustrator who creates wonderful and whimsical mixed media pieces, exploring themes pertaining to the proverbial self and its place in society, as the object as well as the subject. Looking at the self through the lenses of personal relationships, societal realities and self-actualisation. With aims to further understand shared and common realities that surpass basic socio normative identities, she acknowledges the constant state of becoming that exists in the natural world as a microcosm of the self. Through her form, which is likened to the pop-surrealist movement, she transverses through the subconscious and unconscious (dreamlike) state of being but depicts them in both the mundane and superficial to create striking images.

Larry Simon takes his inspiration from seemingly everyday objects, surfaces and scenes to create composed narratives shrouded in a sense of the unknown: the Inner World residing in our subconscious—a place where we cannot fill in all the blanks. He often works with a blend of sharp and soft focus, presenting his work in photo collage form or as digital prints.

‘Covid 19 hit the country before I could even graduate from university. Once home and with the job market looking bleak, I was still keen to keep my creative side going. I took to the garden shed to create new designs in different mediums. Throughout the summer of 2020, I used Alcohol inks to produce a range of designs, using various techniques and continued this into the festive season, adding silver and gold to bring some sparkle. Being an abstract designer, I love the bright colours and textures alcohol inks create. I took my design forward by producing cards and coasters to sell in my local area. Continuing to be creative during lockdown has helped my mental health and kept my passion for textiles alive. Going into 2021 is much the same as the year before. I wanted to focus and take this time to add new designs to my portfolio and getting my work recognised’. Francesca Gillett
