BEN EDMUNDS<br />

Ben Edmunds received his BFA from the Wimbledon College of <strong>Art</strong> in London in<br />

<strong>2016</strong> and has begun his MFA at the Royal College of <strong>Art</strong>. He is interested in the<br />

formal tensions within a painting, how visually different elements interact on a<br />

canvas. Ben has had several exhibitions in Europe, including shows in London<br />

and Amsterdam. Most recently, he participated in the Affordable <strong>Art</strong> Fair in London.<br />

Ben’s work is in both private and public collections in the UK, US, and Norway.<br />

He has also been shortlisted for the Prunella Clough Scholarship and was runnerup<br />

for the East Anglia School’s Portrait Prize.<br />

NICHOLAS GRIFFIN<br />

Nicholas Griffin received his BFA from Falmouth University and was a winner<br />

of the Midas Award in <strong>2016</strong>. His paintings are inspired by disparate source<br />

materials, sometimes derived from personal pho<strong>to</strong>graphs or drawings, other<br />

times from found material. Memories, dreams, music and film serve as the<br />

starting point for many of his paintings, which convey a sense of transience;<br />

figures seem <strong>to</strong> drift in and out of each composition.<br />
