    Robert Andrew

    Mixed MediaPaintingKinetic sculpture

    “I began my creative life as a freelance illustrator after college, learning to build images through careful lines and quiet observation. Illustration taught me discipline, but it also revealed how much I longed for a space where imagination could stretch beyond the edges of the page.”

    Not wheelchair accessible. There is no toilet, no view from the pavement and nothing to eat or drink. Ring ahead to ask what is possible.

    DrawingMixed MediaPainting

    “Kya Beers is a Bristol-based mixed media artist from the coastal town of Ilfracombe, Devon. Working through portraiture, text and natural elements, she builds oil paintings on layered, abstract grounds – combining gestural mark-making with spray paint, drawing and collage-like surfaces.”

    Ben Jones

    Mixed MediaCut paper/pixel art/model making

    “Ben is an avidly online game developer from Manchester. Ben’s work conceptualises a critical commentary of postmodern technology. His neo-pixel art gives a sense of nostalgia, but his skillfully curated vibrant colour palettes, densely packed textures and details always give his work a sense of lighthearted play.”
