やった！
It was a slow process, but I finally came to the end of my latest work.

This acrylic painting was inspired by an old pic of my great grandfather and is now ready to be varnished!

UKCOLAB Judgement Show are proud to reveal another esteemed guest artist Araba Ocran.

Araba Ocran is a sculptor and photographer who uses her craft to explore many aspects of popular culture. She is fascinated by the human condition and how we deal with life events and circumstances.
Her works are often labour intensive and are very much part of her creative process. The materials she uses have been carefully considered and are as much part of the subject matter as the pieces she creates.

Presently she works as a freelance as a sculptor, prop maker, and painter mainly in the film, museum and television industry.
In 2009 she graduated from Camberwell College of Arts with a BA Hons degree in Fine Art Sculpture. Then in 2011 graduated from Kingston University with an MA in Fine Art with Learning and Teaching in HE.

In 2013 she set up a small artist collective called 'Bad Behaviour' presenting artists who have not been educated within the contemporary art school system, together with those who have.

‘My only regret is not telling enough people to f**k off’ Today I am sharing one of the prints that seems to resonate with so many people, but today I’m sharing it for my friend Joanne, who sadly left this earthly plane recently and far too soon. Joanne was bursting with life and I always looked forward to seeing her. This was her favourite picture of mine and every time I saw her she told me how much she loved having it on her wall. We would laugh about the fact that this really wasn’t a regret of hers! She bought sunshine and laughter into this world and will be missed by many friends, including me. So this ones for you Joanne and thank you for the fun and friendship you shared with me ❤️

Prints available in the following options:
Card: £3
A6 Unframed: £5
A6 Framed: £12
A3 Unframed: £25
A3 Framed: £40

Carrie Reichardt

Carrie Reichardt’s award winning public work reflects her sustained engagement with people, place and politics, with a focus on marginalized groups - and in particular, women and their hidden histories. Reichardt draws on local archival sources to create works that resonate with the communities they are set within, and describes her work as a form of “ceramic tapestry” – weaving local people and their histories together.

Reichardt has been involved in community and public art projects for two decades, designing and consulting on large-scale mosaic murals in various local communities. She has produced a community mosaic in Miravalle, one of the most deprived districts on the fringes of Mexico City as well as projects in Argentina and Chile. In 2018, Reichardt finally completed the transformation of her west London home into a giant mosaic mural – a process that took twenty years and tens of thousands of tiles to complete.

In 2013, Reichardt won the prestigious Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship to research ‘How to advance community mosaics in the UK’.

Reichardt trained at Kingston University and achieved a First Class degree in Fine Art from Leeds Metropolitan. She was Artist in Residence at Camberwell Art College in 2009, The Clay Studio, Philadelphia, USA 2014 and has also been artist in residence with The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

Reichardt is frequently called to speak on the use of craft and art as protest and has presented at Museum of Liverpool, Victoria and Albert Museum, ICA, Powerhouse Museum in Sydney

Guest Artist Reveal

Aiyla Beau

Aiyla Beau is a Hyper realism portrait artist specialising in emotionally stimulating, contemporary fe**sh art. After completing her BA degree at UWE in Bristol, she initially established an adult modelling career, the experience of which now plays a huge part in her artistic process and inspiration. Using her knowledge of the industry, she acts on a deep and almost primal instinct, and starts to visualise a way of portraying the emotions and desires she unlocks, she then styles, lights, directs and shoots her own photo-shoots to achieve the desired image from which the final artworks are then created.

Working in colour pencils and gold leaf, Beau creates highly evocative, thought provoking pieces, exploring some of the darker nuances of the human psyche.

Drawing influence from her own fe**shes and kinks, she explores narratives of freedom and control within female sexuality, highlighting and celebrating the freedom that can be attained only when control is relinquished, and owning your sexuality, celebrating it in whatever way feels right for you. For her this more often than not seems to involve an octopus, oil and gags. Through all her work the influence of her own oral fixation is very evident, along with sensory deprivation and restraint. These colourful neo figurative, photo-realistic portraits are laced with surrealistic tendencies and macabre undertones that definitely stir the senses, with a use of colour that beckons the viewer to look just a little deeper.

Guest Artist Reveal

Raffaella Bertolini

UK-based artist Raffaella Bertolini employs a variety of media and forms, working with acrylics, graphite, oils, charcoal, spray paint and collage.

Originally from Italy, Raffaella received her diploma in Art from the Liceo Artistico Arturo Martini in Savona. Her main influences are derived from popular and urban culture, fashion, art, music and literature, along with environmental and political issues. In her portraiture, she blends a (literally!) colourful humour with Psychedelic Art to create her own brand of “Psychedelic Pop Art”, focusing primarily on the female figure. A large number of her “Icons” portraits use alcohol ink. In these works, she celebrates not only the famous but also hidden heroes, such as members of the London Underground scene, unearthed in her recent artwork.

A Mondrian-style background complements that approach in one of her latest series of paintings, which takes on the popular French icons Serge Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot – each, in their own way, representing ‘La Femme’.

Refusing to limit her work, Raffaella is a storyteller who finds inspiration in a variety of artistic expressions, fed by her lifelong passion and ambition for creative expression. She incorporates elements of her various muses, which lately come from urban/street art. In her urban and mixed-media paintings, as well as in her beautifully detailed drawings, she explores themes of sensuality, humour, religion, and mental health.

Raffaella’s artwork has been regularly showcased in exhibitions in the UK and New York, and the breadth and versatility of her talents have been increasingly recognized. Her exceptional painting Re-Veiled was the runner-up among 40 participants in the online competition “V Gran Premio Citta’ – a prize organized by the Savona art movement, the “Movimento Arte del XXI Secolo”, to recognize excellence in contemporary art expression.

Raffaella Bertolini’s works are in many private collections in Europe, Australia, USA and Japan.
