Foreword

Now in its ninth year, the Made in Arts London programme

continues to go from strength to strength – a testament to

the talent, passion and drive of our students. Providing the

artists of tomorrow with real-world work experience in a

supportive environment, it provides an exclusive platform

to students at the University of the Arts London.

The programme provides a necessary springboard for

talented artists at an early and critical point in their career.

Whether through participating in exhibitions, art fairs or

mentoring, we see the difference that Made in Arts London

initiatives make – building confidence, expertise and

understanding of the sector.

I am always excited to see where Made in Arts London

artists go next, and I am honoured and privileged that

we are able to nurture them at the beginning of their

professional and personal journey.

The Made in Arts London team


07

Timur | Oil on board, Original,60.5 x 80 cm (unframed), £345

Felix Allen

BA Fine Art: Painting,

Wimbledon College of Arts 2019

Allen’s paintings explore imaginary scenarios, often bordering on science fiction. He

is constantly experimenting and adapting his approach and style, and his current

collection involved a process of sketching in acrylic on wooden board, before painting

in oils. Each collection influences the next, this one engaging with questions of

humanity and how we as humans interact with our surroundings is an ongoing theme.


The artist is absent | Oil on panel, Original, 150 x 75cm (unframed), £1,600

Sylvia Batycka

08

MFA Fine Art,

Wimbledon College of Arts 2019

Batycka understands her portraits of women to function as an intermediary, between

past and present, photography and painting. Informed by both archival photographs,

and her own photography, her paintings are not items of evidence, but reminders of

loss.

Describing her collection of found photographs she explains that their subjects:

“entice me from the past with their glamour, strength, mystery, untold stories, yet

often all I am left with is an orphan image reflecting a second of their life, a stage

moment.” Her protagonists are “passers-by from a moment in time. I acknowledge

their strength and their glamour. I inquire into the aesthetics of absence, hauntology,

and nostalgia. I look at the dress as the memory of the absent. Dresses, that I

consider to be ultimately female garments, form their own visual language – the

feminine sartorial language that speaks of identity, empowerment, and allure. In the

absence of the wearer, the dress speaks of nonappearance. In the absence of the

wearer, the dress forms the only portrait that remains.”


Kitchen Table 1 | Digital photograph on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper (325gsm), Edition of 8 + 2 AP, 49.7 x

62 cm (framed), £333

09

Gabrielle Brooks

MA Contemporary Photography; Practices and Philosophies,

Central Saint Martins 2019

Brooks’ work in photography, video, and sculpture engages with themes of the domestic

and uncanny, informed by the work of historical and contemporaneous women artists.


Untitled (Rupture #1) | Photographic C-type hand print, Edition of 3 + 1 AP, 50.8 x 60.96 cm (mounted on

aluminium), £750

10

James Bryant

MA Photography,

Central Saint Martins 2019

Bryant uses photographic processes, often in conjunction with networked technology,

performance and site-specific installations, to entangle mechanical image-making with

social interactions. He explores how the realistic image informs thought processes, and

interrogates the relationship of media to consciousness. Recurrent themes in his work

are passivity and modes of non-action in relation to audience participation.

By utilising the new media which is already embedded in his way of life Bryant

describes his practice as “unrestricted”, explaining that he engages with Net Art and live

stream imagery to resist the finality of a traditional photographic image and invite direct

interaction with the viewer. Although producing works that embrace intangibility and a

state of flux, he notes that ”as streams of data, their trace will remain in perpetuity.”


Whippets at Work | Crufts 2019 | Oil on plywood, Original, 22 x 13 cm (unframed), £490

11

Maddy Buttling

BA Fine Art,

Chelsea College of Arts 2020

Balancing the comedy of animal ownership with its more poignant moments, Buttling

plays with the way death can elevate the beloved household pet to the level of a deity.

She describes her fascination with “the meme-ification of domestic pets” driving her

to immortalise them in the extravagance of oil paint. Informed by personal memories

of her own pets, and her fascination with online communities, her paintings utilise

niche references to produce intimate reflections on the pathos of everyday life.


12

Prohibited Unhappiness Book 1 | Ink-jet on card (250gsm), a pre-programmed sound module, Edition of 25, 13

x 18 x 0.8 cm (unframed), £30

Django (Jiangge) Cai

MA Graphic Design Communication,

Chelsea College of Arts 2020

Cai specialises in multi-sensorial book design and reading innovations, utilising

design fiction to critique and comment on social issues.

His research-led graphic design practice is characterised by innovative use of digital

and analogue formats, with his ongoing project ‘Second-reality Cinema’ attempting to

deconstruct passive modes of cinema viewing experience, through suspending the

image, and encouraging user interaction.


13

The Battle of The Oranges | Digital printed photograph, Edition of 10, 105 x 75 cm (framed), £1,250

Andrea Capello

BA (Hons) Photojournalism and Documentary Photography,

London College of Communication 2019

In his photographic practice, Capello is constantly in search of stories that represent

the importance of diversity, seeking out unique and obscure social traditions.

“In a fast-changing world, where we interact more digitally than physically, cultural

heritage continues to play an important role in helping us to remember the past and

bringing people together.”


AFU | Acrylic, paper, oil pastel on wood, Original, 49.53 x 76.2 cm, £4,500

14

Chiizii

MA Fine Art,

Chelsea College of Arts 2020

Chiizii is a visual artist and designer born and based in London, raised in New York,

and with an Igbo background. She positions her work as social commentary, exploring

cultures where Blackness is standard and ever present – not ‘other’ but the norm. “It

is here that the qualities of blackness can be given space to be examined.”

Chiizii's studied at London College of Fashion, before arriving at Chelsea, and her

practice is informed by this print background, as she combines painting, collage and

textile work. Merging traditional and contemporary methods, including a myriad of

styles and references, her multidisciplinary practice is unbound but thoughtful, held

together by her use of vibrant colour and pattern.


15

Artist Joanna Cohn in Central Saint Martins Printmaking Studio, November 2019

Joanna Cohn

MA Fine Art,

Central Saint Martins 2020

Cohn is currently studying for an MA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. Since joining

the course, she has developed her painting practise into the realm of print making,

specialising in both traditional methods including etching and woodcut, and digital print

and combining all of these disciplines. She has worked on a variety of creative projects

including making work at The Tate Exchange in 2019 and then again in January 2020.

In 2019 she exhibited work at The Woolwich Contemporary Art Fair, was a finalist for the

Glyndebourne Touring Art competition, and exhibited at Grange Park Opera, Cass Art,

and in a number of solo and group shows.


Two Face Nostalgia | Watercolour, ink and gouache on Hahnemühle Bamboo Paper (290gsm), Edition of 25,

29.7 x 42 cm, (unframed) £80

16

Veronika Ficek

BA (Hons) Fashion Imaging & Illustration,

London College of Fashion 2021

Ficek is driven by her interest in subconscious interpretations of colour and how

these can be used to inspire different emotional states. Inspired by music and sound,

she works in ink, gouache and watercolour, to produce fast playful translations of

ideas onto paper, responding to the hidden realities and unseen stories she identifies

around her.

Recent series of work explore the body in performance, documenting the invisible

strokes of dancers' movements in space, and capturing a choreography through her

expressive visual language.


17

Miss Nothing | Issue one, Magazine, 21 x 29.7 cm, £23

Karolina Gliniewicz

BA (Hons) Photography,

London College of Communication 2020

Gliniewicz works in printed matter, editorial and book design, as well as photography.

Miss Nothing, the magazine she founded continues to edit, was initially handmade by

herself and friends at university workshops, and is now an online platform dedicated

to emerging photographers. The project has allowed her to explore her fascination

with print techniques and refine her design skills. Watch this space as it expands in

reach and ambition.


Sun and Moon| Glazed Stoneware, Original, 35 x 35 cm, £160

18

Henry Glover

BA (Hons) Fine Art: Painting,

Wimbledon College of Arts 2020

The embrace, is a recurring motif in Glover’s work, occurring in many forms: boxers

clinching, hands squeezing a pillow, and human forms locked together, becoming one.

His painting is acutely physical, yet delicate, he describes it as akin to “the process of

firing clay.“

Inspired by the focus on sensation and emotion in the work of German Expressionist

and Symbolist painters, he cites Edvard Munch as ongoing preoccupation, as he

attempts to produce work that is both truthful and enigmatic. Working predominantly

in sculpture and painting, Glover is alert to the malleable properties of both, using

them to abstract figurative bodily forms and what is understood physically within

intimate relationships.


19

IAM | Paper, pigment, Acrylic, double sided tape, Original, 21.0 x 29.7 cm (unframed), £250

Dan Gombos

BA Fine Art,

Central Saint Martins 2019

Gombos explores analogue and digital image-making processes – experimenting with

darkroom techniques and computer generated approaches. His concern with the way

technological change dictates the production and consumption of visual content, is

driven by his interest in light as the basis of photography.


Walking through the Light | Digital photograph on Fuji Crystal Archive paper (210gsm), Edition of 15,

29.7 x 42 cm (unframed), £125

20

Jonny Luke Grinstead

BA (Hons) Photojournalism and Documentary Photography,

London College of Communication 2019

Grinstead draws inspiration from the American colourist photographers of 1960s and

70s, applying their approaches to his evocative documentary work and commissions.

His ‘By Seeing London’ series comprises candid images of the capital, transporting

the viewer into a sense of what it's like to be alive in the city.


21

A Secure Place – Sunlight | Canson Infinity Photo Lustre (310gsm), Edition of 5, 42.0 X 59.4 cm (A2 unframed), £90

Dana Hong

MA Graphic Communication Design,

Central Saint Martins 2019

Hong describes both her illustration and art work, as driven by a quirky response to

everyday experiences and emotions. Originally from Seoul, her experience of life in

Asia, America, and Europe informs her unique approach to colour and drawing. She

has exhibited in the UK, China, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Recent projects have

involved exploring screen prints and painting, and producing artworks through a

process of hand-drawing and digitisation.


Theresa May | High Quality Matte Inkjet Print White Paper (200gsm), Edition of 25, 21cm x 29.7cm

(unframed), £30

22

Hugo Hutchins

BA Fine Art,

Central Saint Martins, 2019

Hutchins uses both digital and traditional techniques to render fragmented

representations of celebrities that attempt to expose media manipulations – the false

realities and exaggerations constructed by such figures. His intentionally crude approach

acts to highlight the cynicism of media preoccupations with ideas of authenticity.

He describes his concern with the “simulated narratives and hyper-reality that penetrate

contemporary communication channels” as “asking the viewer to assess the artificiality

of the artificial.”


23

I find myself in a strange loop | Video (1h13m50s) stored on custom-designed Maple Wood USB Flash Drive with

Wooden Box, Edition of 20, 1920 x 1080 (FHD) and 3840 x 2160 (4K), £170

Danielle Jacques

MA Fine Art Digital,

Camberwell College of Arts 2020

Jacques explores altered states of consciousness through photography, video, and

audio-visual installation. She engages with the properties of ink, water, and light

– dispersing, diffusing, diffracting, and embracing the unexpected – to develop a

practice she has described as a form of “meditation-in-action”. By documenting her

actions in the moment, Jacques solidifies these visual meditations, so that she may

elongate, interpret, and share her experiences.

Informed by psychology and perception theory she is interested in the impacts of

sensory stimulation upon how we perceive our inner and outer worlds. Photos and

videos are pushed through multiple modes of transformation, using both analogue

and digital processes – layering, reflecting, stretching, scaling, and looping – each

process bringing new depths to her illusions which surprise and delight.


Carmen | Print on recycled card, Edition of 15, 42 cm x 29.7 cm (A3 unframed), £15

24

Lydia Jones

Postgraduate Certificate: Fashion Visual Merchandising,

London College of Fashion 2019

Jones has always been described as an “old soul”. Since her early teens she preferred

the culture of years gone by, favouring her parents’ music tastes to that of her friends,

and shopping in thrift stores rather than on the high street. It was this love of vintage

that led her to set up her own business in November 2016 – Viva Soul London. The

online shop provides vintage lovers with fashion and lifestyle items, and she has used it

as a platform for selling her graphic design,art and craft work ,including prints, greetings

cards, notebooks, and handmade jewellery.

The ‘Icons’ and ‘Doggies’ series showcase Jone’s digital illustrations, and she has used

found pieces, such as vintage pin badges and trading cards, to create some of the other

items for sale. Through her wares, Jones hopes to bring a sense of fun and nostalgia.


25

‘Repurpose’ Look 3 and Look 4 | Fashion collection comprised of: up-cycled nylon tent poles, PVC airbed,

polyester sleeping bags and camping chair, Original, Various sizes, Prices from £460 - £990

Amber Kim

BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Technology: Womenswear,

London College of Fashion 2019

Born in South Korea and raised in the UK, Kim has built experience across various

fashion sectors, working at renowned brands including Tom Ford and Chalayan. Her

recent collection, ‘Repurpose’ re-imagines the avant-garde to produce sustainable

long-lasting textiles items through modern craftsmanship and technology. She

was featured on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, discussing her concern for the

environment and how she was inspired by the discarded tents abandoned at music

festivals – “I’ve seen all of the problems. I couldn’t leave and not do anything about it.”

Following interest from fashion industry insiders, her full collection was presented at

‘Super Super Super’ during London Fashion Week 2019. It has also received attention

as fine art – exhibited at TM Lighting Gallery, with artist collaborators, and included

as an installation and experimental choreography with contemporary dancers, at the

Wells Project exhibition space.


26

Untitled (Scratched off) | Acrylic on Scotchlite, Original, 80 x 60 cm (unframed), £380

Jarek Kubacki

BA Fine Art,

Chelsea College of Arts 2021

"My name is Jarek. I am an art student. I used to paint a lot. Now I don’t make much

art. Sometimes I find an object that I like to put into a sculptural situation with

another object or two. I still like some of my paintings."


27

The day before tomorrow | Digital photograph on Hahnemühle Photo Rag (308gsm), Edition of 5, 119 x 80 cm

(unframed), £770

Jaime Martínez López

BA (Hons): Fine Art, Print and Time Based Media,

Wimbledon College of Arts 2021

Martinez Lopez moved to London from Madrid in 2016 and dealt with separation from

his loved ones by exploring memory, space, and dreams through experimentations with

painting, photography, moving image, sound and performance art.

Originally a graphic designer, he applies his experience in print, composition, and

concept design to develop new modes of perceiving reality. He describes his artistic

practice is an attempt to create a bond with the viewer, beyond distance and logic.


28

Self/Alterity #6 | Pen and ink, Edition of 25, 21 x 29.7 (A4 unframed), £180

Chantalle Mafoti

BA Illustration and Visual Media,

London College of Communication 2020

The unconscious mind is something of an obsession for Mafoti, who feels compelled

to address it through ambiguous visual narratives, using pen and ink, to impressive

effect.

What do you see? Is this me? The drawings become immersive experiences that

challenge viewers sense of self, an awareness that excites Mafoti, as she considers

the processes of orientation and cognition when confronting visual images. She

describes how viewers find themselves within the artwork, “seeking the mirror”.


29

Transition IV | C-type print Matt paper (253gsm), Edition of 15, 42 x 59.4 cm (unframed), £250

Maria Makridis

MA Photography,

London College of Communication, 2019

In her photography practice Makridis explores the boundaries of the medium, its

relationship to truth, and how we understand environmental change. Fascinated by

the complex relation between technology and nature, she confronts the viewer with

examples of blurred lines between the two, underlining manipulations already at play.

“I take images of ‘Nature’ as a starting point, manipulating them digitally and physically,

reshaping and bending them until they become artificial and alienated from their

original form.”


Wedged, Wall sculpture | Metal etching, paper, tissue, string, hooks and wood, Edition of 12, 26 cm x 35 cm

x 40 cm, £1,205

30

Claire McDermott

MA Art and Science,

Central Saint Martins 2020

McDermott’s recent work engages with the unpredictability and asymmetrical

contours of spent flowers. She describes how the “structure of the flower starts to

abstract itself, into endless possibilities.”

Utilising sculpture, drawing, painting, print and photography she describes her

interdisciplinary approach as an “expanded field practice”. “The botanical structure,

function and performance of the flower is observed through both microscope and

macro lens – all materials and methods of working are employed.”


31

Neutron Star Song Cycle no.2 | Mixed media on Canson printed canvas, Original, 100 x 160 cm (unframed),

£1800

Hannah Pratt

MA Art and Science,

Central Saint Martins 2019

Pratt collaborates with singers, musicians, and visual artists to build a library of

creative responses to contemporary astrophysical research. Her research often

explores the stories behind discoveries – the sounds of stars, the women responsible

for the success of the Apollo missions.

Whilst at Central Saint Martins she developed a new framework for working with

the sonification of data from deep space pulsars, combining these with her own

observations of the night sky to create a graphic score entitled ’The Neutron Star

Song Cycle‘.


32

Souvenir for Millais | Oil on canvas, Original, 120 x 90 x 4 cm (unframed), £2500

Caroline Streatfield

MA Painting,

Wimbledon College of Arts 2019

Streatfield investigates the re-telling of narratives and how memory is transmitted from

one generation to the next, creating a dialogue between past and present.

Her recent series has been informed by her personal experience as a daughter of

a refugee mother and an English father, questioning how it relates to collective

experiences of displacement and diaspora. Souvenir for Millais uses the folk costume

of Slovakia as a metaphor for memory, identity and loss of home, demonstrating both a

nostalgia and a search for ancestral roots.


Amassing Light (45 Degrees) 3 | Cyanotype print on Fabriano Unica paper (250gsm), Original, 70 x 50 cm

(unframed), £600

33

Eleanor Suess

PhD, CSM Research Programme, AHRC funded through TECHNE

Central Saint Martins 2020

Suess is an artist, architect, and educator; her work has been exhibited and published

internationally; and she teaches architecture at Kingston School of Art. Her current

research at Central Saint Martins traverses these disciplines to explore temporality

and ephemerality using artists’ digital films and cyanotype blueprints.

The work with cyanotype printing explores a strategy for creating architectural

representations using sunlight. Suess links this time-based approach to the

conventions of architectural ‘axonometric’ drawing projection, by recording the

shadows of clear acrylic solid blocks and hollow cubes. The rays of light that activate

the cyanotype paper produce a sequence of images that follow the convention of

non-perspectival oblique projection. The resulting ‘blueprints’ suggest an architectural

or urban form; however, the abstract instrumentality of the drawing is undermined

through the materiality of the process.


Bateau | Analogue photograph on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta (325gsm), Edition of 10 & 2 Aps, 18 x 27 cm

(unframed), £275

Sophia Wöhleke

34

MA Photography,

London College of Communication 2019

Wöhleke explores ideas of place and identity through her analogue photography that

addresses lines between the strange and familiar, reality and fiction.

‘À la Recherche de Monsieur Tan’ depicts the search for a man who used to live in the

artist’s neighbourhood. Monsieur Tan came to France in the late 1970s to escape the

Khmer Rouge and in order to be allowed to remain, he made himself out to be ten years

younger and began running an old backstreet garage. In his seventies and still working,

he would reflect upon life as he fixed Vespas, sat on a stool he had built himself. One

day, Monsieur Tan closed the garage, and disappeared.

The artist’s search moves from France and Italy, to Cambodia and Thailand, performing

a process of closure. Utilising Monsieur Tan’s own words, his fate remains ambiguous

as Wöhleke grapples with the problematics of privacy and authorship, while exploring

the potentials of telling a life story.


35

Moon Sender 2 | Digital painting on Giclée Hahnemühle German Etching, Edition of 5, 58.7 x 33.3 cm

(framed), £420

Yuqiao Zheng

MA Visual Arts: Illustration,

Camberwell College of Arts 2020

Yuqiao studied Animation and Chinese painting, and completed an MPhil in

Design Theory before starting at Camberwell College of Arts, where she has been

experimenting with egg tempera and developing her understanding of narrative

approaches. The picture book Moon Sender won a Jury award of CIB picture book

award 2019-2020 and the illustrations of the book were shortlist for the CA illustration

Awards 2020. Her artworks have been exhibited in New York, Athens, London, Beijing,

Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Chongqing.

Future works will explore the symbiotic relationship between text and image in

contemporary storytelling, and how historical painting practices can inform picture

book illustration.


We asked our artists why UAL students should apply to

Made in Arts London and what they have gained being

represented by us for two years.

“Made in Arts London is a great way to show your work and

connect with other students, artists and curators.

The really good thing about Made in Arts London is that it

continues to support your art practice even after you have left

the college, which is important as you take your early steps

into the wider art world outside the educational framework.”

Farrukh Akbar, MA Fine Art

Chelsea College of Arts 2018

Artists' Voice

It is never about making 'good' art, it is about making art that is

sincerely and genuinely yours. Being part of Made in Arts London

has been a wonderful journey where I learnt that supporting one

another and trying out new things are more creative than shutting

myself up in the studio creating works.”
