"Horror"
"Horror Tales 2013"
"Raising Hell"
"Hells Gate"
"Demon"
"Party Talk 2008"
A set of six A5 limited edition digital prints (6)

James Jessop’s paintings are a celebration of the birth of New York Subway Graffiti, its journey to a global art movement and all the writers and photographers who captured the scene.

His large-scale and vibrant works often combine classical references with 1970s subway art photographs and pop culture images.

Jessop graduated in Fine Art from Coventry University in 1995 and went on to study at The Royal College of Art in 1997. Since then, he has exhibited worldwide including solo shows in Sao Paulo and Copenhagen and group exhibitions in Melbourne, Moscow, New York and Turin.

Jessop teaches on the Fine Art BA degree course at City and Guilds of London Art School. He lives and works in Glasgow.

by Coloquix
"My The Bitter End"
Signed print, 29.7cm by 42cm

Having started drawing on the walls at the age of 2 (sorry, mum) but picking it up ten years ago, there is nothing that Coloquix enjoys more than leaving colourful marks on public surfaces. Usually a psychedelic female character, but occasionally portrait-based, Coloquix uses paint, pastes and stickers to spread some colourful necromancy and has had work up in cities across the world, from New York to Nottingham and Rio to Whitby.

Lot 42
by Sharon McDonagh - Artist

"Watch Ya Bass Bins"
Signed print, 42cm by 59.4cm

Sharon's work takes on many forms including large murals, paintings, drawings and 3D pieces. Known for her love of prawns and pigeons (they remind her of her late Dad and her childhood) her work can range from the bright and colourful to the dark and slightly offputting - a bit like her life experiences. Sharon's unusual career history has definitely shaped her outlook on life, which in turn is reflected in her work.

LOT 41
by Remi/Rough
"Masterpiece Minus (2002)"
Signed, limited edition 6/25, giclée print on Somerset paper, 42cm by 30cm

Remi Rough was born in 1971 in South London and makes complexly composed abstract paintings on surfaces ranging from paper, wood and canvas, to brick and concrete. His formative years and experiences as a style writer (or as most people would know it, a graffiti artist) inform his precise, constructed artworks. His clever use of highly sensory colour evokes an array of different feelings for the viewer and can at times be perceived as musical, due to the vibrational energy the work emits.

‘Family Tree’
By Listen04
Signed, spray paint and pencil on paper, 29.7cm by 42cm

Born in 1983, Listen04 is the product of a tractor mechanic and a young high school drop out. His father would go on to commit su***de when the young artist was just five years old, leaving him to find his own way in a world full of questions. Listen04's work is him attempting to answer those questions, with a combination of drawing, painting and sculpture, and disproportionately low levels of serotonin.

LOT 38
by Rowdy
"Ouse Mouse"
Signed, limited edition 1/25, (created especially for the exhibition) giclee print on natural textured paper, 60cm by 80cm

Playful floats of crocodiles have been stalking Bristol and London's walls for decades courtesy of Rowdy, and in recent years these bold shapes have evolved to include fine, architectural impressions on canvas. Reaching back to the late 80's, the iconic works of Rowdy range from spray can on walls and characters on rocks, to abstract and gestural cityscapes of finger smudges on canvas. Ambiguous compositions are honest reflections of his environment: politically charged, yet deeply personal reflections of space. Whether literally drawing inspiration from his surroundings, or collaging his vision with wider interests or colour-fields, the result is a fluid and evolving style celebrating alternative culture and its ongoing metamorphosis.

by Acerone
"Love"
Collage, spray paint on layered card, 25cm by 25cm (2)

Acerone/Luke Palmer is a contemporary visual artist from Bristol, best known for his active contribution to the graffiti and street art scene in and around the South-West of England since the mid 1990's. His work draws upon photography, graphic design, sign-writing and the use of sacred geometry to create murals, installations, canvases and prints that explore the balance between simplicity and complexity.

Born in 1978 in Bristol, UK, he received a BA Hons degree in Visual Art from the University of Plymouth in 2003 and an FbA in Creative Arts Therapies Studies in 2012. His work rose to prominance and critical acclaim following the acquisition of four of his paintings by The Royal West of England Academy for inclusion into their permanent collection on the opening evening of the 2010 "Crimes of Passion" exhibition. He continues to create work both on the streets and in galleries and museums for private and corporate clients, alongside designing and delivering arts engagement programmes for young people, aspiring artists and community groups.
