Art Tart (UK)
We love Bristol-based Art Tart because her work unexpectedly combines self-portraiture, humour, sex and spontineity. She poses and paints, and paints what she poses. It is street art, vulgar, glamorous and entertaining.
She says, “This particular girl is on a mission to inject a pinch of colour and make the world a touch less grey, a smidgen more glamorous and to leave it smelling of roses...”.

Biography
Matthew Stradling (UK)
Matthew's paintings of the male nude are simply stunning. His incredible attention to detail combines classic and contemporary influences, addressing issues of isolation and loneliness and challenging assumptions regarding gender and identity.
His work has been exhibited in the Sotheby’s and his portrait commissions include Marc Almond and Derek Jarman.

Pamela Tait (UK)
Pamela’s pop art-style paintings of women are copied from 70's porn magazines, and Pamela says: “They're super cool with Farrah Fawcett hairstyles, beautiful curvy figures with real boobs, knee high socks, hot pants. Good fun girls, I’m just playing around with them a little.” Both retro and futuristic, the ethereal, angelic quality makes the eroticism seem very naughty. The titles reflect the music she is listening to while she works.
