Pedro Paricio - Pedro (naked at stairs); 195x130 cm; Acrylic on canvas; 2011
A great painting by Spanish artist Pedro Patricio - I find something a bit unnerving bout this mutli-coloured, otherworldly figure.
Dan Hillier - Lyra ; 1 colour screen print ; 55cm x 75cm
I love this guy’s prints - they’re like old world fairy tale characters - wonderful and yet slightly frightening. Dan recently won the Club Monaco Emerging Artist Award.
Dan Hillier - The Woodsman ; 1 colour screen print; 76x56cm
Dan Hillier is a print artist who creates images of fantastical creatures and human\animal hybrids with a slightly spooky Victorian feel. I just bought this one for myself!

Ilya Zomb - Reminiscence of Morning Awakening ; Oil on linen ; 36x46”
Ukrainian born artist Ilya Zomb describes his dream-like paintings as occupying the shadowy space “between the possible and impossible, the real and unreal”.

A stunning realist painting from Mitch Griffiths that skewers our seemingly never-ending cycle of ‘detox then retox’.
