I would describe my Artworks as Graphic Abstract. Using a range of medium, mainly acrylics and house emulsion, I focus on colour,composition,shape and my love of emphisis through repitition to explore the spatial interactions of objects against their settings, carefully selecting what encircles the mundane and my everyday and then combining as a whole to form getaways, inner worlds of design.

My Illustration consists mainly of a “Fashion” theme, geared more towards the music and magazine cultures using colour for immediate impact and taking influences from my surrounding. Slowly slipping into a slightly twisted dream/nightmare of an everyday fairytale. I think all illustation should contain at least a little dark magic.

Colin Jenkinson

Colin Jenkinson I’m an image maker working from my Brighton based studio in the UK. My space is littered with photos, drawings and books ranging from The Bauhaus to Edward Tufte’s beautiful data visualisations. I’ve been drawing obsessively since I was a kid, on the back of envelopes, scraps of paper, anything I could lay my hands on. This obsession has grown over the years into a mass of travelling books, the ‘pictures from my pocket’ that capture my ideas.

David Gifford

David GiffordDavid Gifford has been working as an illustrator for 25 years, producing commercial illustrations for brochures, leaflets, packaging, books, press-ads; as well as commissions for individual clients. Whatever the subject – be it a surgeon at work, a robot, landscapes, a portrait, or children at play – his approach is the same: to capture the essence of the subject simply and strongly. He has experience working in different media – from highly realistic airbrush work to oils and watercolours to simple diagrammatic line art. Most of his current work is digital using the Mac. His specialisation is in science and medicine, and many of the Folio examples are produced for Science Photo Library. But he is also very involved in worldwide healthcare work particularly for the Child-to-Child Trust, UNICEF and Macmillan.

Karin Akesson for Refugee Week

 

Refugee WeekThe campaign is called Simple Acts, and is part of Refugee Week 2009 (15th-21st June) which is a countrywide programme of events including concerts, film screenings and exhibitions that celebrate the enormous contribution of refugees to the UK. This year the celebrations take on a new twist as people are invited not to raise funds, or make huge gestures, but to choose from 20 Simple Acts such as cooking a dish from a foreign country or watching a movie with/about refugees, which brings them closer to refugees. Every Simple Act –will be contributed to on an online total at Refugee Week.org.uk so people can see what a big impact they are making collectively.

You can see Karin’s design’s all across http://www.refugeeweek.org.uk/simple-acts/ and reported on last week in Design Week.

4Wall

4Wall4WALL was founded by Sam Stubbings (of  The RGBs) in 2005 after he attended an exhibition of Black Convoy work in Jaguar Shoes. The show was exceptional but the group didn’t have a mechanism for commissions or even to buy the work and it was funded solely in the short term by the Arts Council. From that point he decided that he wanted to get the Convoy collective together with other leading artists and see if something could exist between a commercial enterprise and an exhibiting collective. The answer was that it could – and the instinct to refuse branded or briefed work paid off quickly, with London’s top agencies and creatives such as Barbara Hulanicki of BIBA, Chris Blackwell – founder of Island Records, Selfridges, and Stella McCartney respecting 4WALL’s artistic values and commissioning work. We stick to the belief that people not only get turned off by brands and traditional marketing, but that the smart companies are the ones that give people the authentic.
