Working mainly with acrylic paint, exploring natural & organic forms of the world and still life.
Chidinma
Swindon
I am a photographic artist exploring identity, memory and belonging through analogue and experimental processes. My practice moves between photography, chemigrams, photograms, textiles and mixed-media approaches, with an interest in materiality and image-making beyond the frame.
Cristina Jordan
Swindon
My work explores identity as it is shaped by memory, emotional response, and lived struggle. I am particularly interested in the spaces of disconnection—what is excluded, erased, or unseen—and how those absences define us.
David Boase
Swindon
Swindon-based sculptor David carves reclaimed hard and softwood into striking artwork inspired by nature, geometry and the Op-art style. Using power tools, he transforms flat panels into pieces rich with depth and texture: a rare, entirely self-developed technique.
Funky2concepts
Swindon
I’m Jeff from Swindon. My art is sometimes chaotic but it mirrors the way my brain works. I play around with stencils due to health issues that would make fine details difficult. I have fun with my art and is heavily inspired by music, song titles,song words, music videos, photo shoots.
Gideon Liddiard
Swindon
Diagnosed as Autistic in my late-40's changed my life significantly, and I re-embraced photography as a way of helping me process my diagnosis. While I have built a second career as an events and music photographer, I have retained a deep love of experimentation within the medium.
Harrie Dearing
Swindon
Hi im Harrie Co-founder of Studio BRUT. I am a Multidisciplinary Artist. Working with Fine art, multimedia and immersive storytelling. My artwork often takes on a life of its own and falls into the world of expressionism, and abstraction, because of my Aphantasia. I'm also a huge nerd and love to explore the interplay of science and art. By sharing my work, I hope for others to find light in the dark.
Idowu (ID)
Swindon
Idowu Sholanke is a self-taught painter based in Wiltshire, England. Working without formal art school training, Sholanke uses the head as a structural device rather than a likeness, a means of investigating pressure, containment, and release across paint rather than portraying identity.

Philip Deed
Swindon
I have lived in hotels by choice since my Mother died of COVID six years ago. I've lived in Swindon for about four years now. I make very small postcard sized collages. They are easier to store in a suitcase when you are made to move out at short notice.
Rebecca Bellamy
Wiltshire
Have made a range of work, some more mainstream and some definitely not something people would buy... especially keen on socially engaged/participatory art. I've experience running workshops.
Romeo Romeo
Wiltshire
My current work centres around the female form. Celebrating feminity. But I love experimenting with anything that strikes me.
Sarah Christie
Wiltshire
I’m a self-taught artist who turns the chaos of the world into colour, texture, and unapologetic honesty. I dive into the subjects people usually dodge—mental health, feminism, and the messy, brilliant business of being human. My work is unfiltered, provocative, and sometimes darkly funny.
Si Griffiths
Wiltshire
Si Griffiths is a self-taught artist, influenced by surrealism, lowbrow, fantasy, street and pop art, tattoos, comic books and death. Inspire to paint in 2008 by the visionary S V Mitchell and his own life experience he now paints as a matter of compulsion bordering on the obsessive.

Swindon
Outsider and figurative expressionist artist. Self-taught, painting prolifically since 2021: memento mori, spirituality and pop culture nostalgia on large canvases. Co-founder of Studio BRUT.
Sophie Boyce
Swindon
I am a self-taught artist who fails to specialise in anything. I bounce between different mediums and styles, including kinusaiga, paper and fabric collage, crochet, printing, drawing, painting and whatever else I feel drawn to at the time.
