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.

About Made in Arts London
Made in Arts London
is a not for profit
enterprise founded by
students, for students.
Nested within Arts SU
(the Student Union
of the University of
Arts London), Made
in Arts London was
established by a group
of UAL students in
2012. Initially funded
by the National Union
of Students it was
designed as a sales
platform for students
to earn an income
from their work while
still studying.
Made in Arts London
now also facilitates
crucial professional
development, industry
advice, networking
and exposure for UAL
students, providing
them with a vital
foundation from which
to enter the creative
industry.
UAL is Europe’s

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.”

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.”
