peter howson

i'm not the biggest peter howson fan but i can't think of a better image to represent how brexit, whether leave or remain (fringe loons aside), has split the country

robin doyle

robin doyle has some sort of scattergun approach encompassing street art, graffiti, poster art and beyond. but really well executed and absorbing.

chiharu shiota

chiharu shiota defies categorisation. follow the link and just look at her stuff. amazing

costa dvorezky

not what i'd usually look at whatsoever but i was captivated with costa dvorezky's bodies in space. i love the super traditional technique he's using for his figures juxtaposed onto an abstract space. sublime.

nathalie boutté

i'm guessing this is an earlier work by nathalie boutte as she seems to be more into portrait work these days. or maybe this is just a detail. whichever, i'm liking it.....

hubert tereszkiewicz

apparently hubert tereszkiewicz works mainly in design and just knocks out linocut portraits on the side. which, if you've ever done linocut, is astonishing. i can safely say no linocut i ever do will match the skill (or patience!) on display here

elizabeth lecourt

 i absolutely adore these from elizabeth lecourt and i can't imagine just how tricky it must be to actually make them

the brian jonestown massacre

alexey kondakov

 it's true there's a lot of these juxtaposed images around these days but, for me, alexey kondakov does it better than most

toshi yoshida

i can't believe i haven't had toshi yoshida on here before. i just assumed this would be a double post! looking at his earlier work you'd be forgiven for thinking this was made by another toshi yoshida. but he moved from his more representative imagery to abstract forms taking all his skills with him and achieving something else entirely. easily one of my favourite printmakers

neil shigley

there's always that niggle now when you're looking at images like this that here's an artist making art from the lives of the less fortunate. obviously the stakes are even higher when that artist is whote and male. even so, i'm thinking neil shigley hits the target here and shows a humanity in his subjects and a compassion that's all too easy to miss as we walk by the ever increasing numbers of people dropping through the cracks in our societies. and i love a big print!
