Gold Touch

Chloe Hughes

This project created for my level 5 unit was an opportunity for me to identify my area of specialism and aesthetic. The shoot was inspired by the 80’s nightlife fashion scene, incorporating contemporary elements alongside the era’s disco aesthetic. I wanted to produce a modern fashion editorial with the subtle, yet clear, hints of 80’s visuals communicated though the styling and…

The Order of Time

Illustrated by Müdrã

This project consists a series of images that play upon ideas from the book titled ‘The Order of Time’ published by the theoretical physicist – Carlo Rovelli. I take the often abstract ideas addressed within the book such as ‘local time’ and ‘now’ – both of which make reference to text denoting the ideas of the very personal nature of time, and how the term ‘present’ is really…

With You

Photographed by Phillip Howarth

‘With You’ is an autumn fashion editorial which explores moments shared between two people together. The inspiration for this work came from a 3,000 km road trip that my girlfriend and I took around Iceland at the end of summer 2017.

Reflecting on memories of endless roads, vast horizons and whipping winds, I wanted to create an intimate series that captured…

Blue on Blue

Illustrated by Harry Bhalerao

My project is a playful visual exploration of colonialism and the very real human impact on the environment, framed within a cute and childlike illustrated universe. I have created busy isometric scenes with my own cast of idiosyncratic blue-skinned characters, and in my series of five illustrations, I show a cycle of careless environmental destruction and…

Beauty and the Obscure

Ellie Milner

The The purpose of this project was to combine make-up, typically associated with beauty, and insects, typically thought of as ugly and unattractive. Inspired by the microscopic photography of Levon Bliss, the make-up aims to take the beauty of textures and colours found in iridescent insects and reflect it in the hair and face. These transform and reflect the beauty in the,…

Daydream and Drunkenness of a Young Lady

Megan Marett

I chose adult fiction as a sector, and within this produced 4 illustrations and a book jacket cover for Daydream and Drunkenness of a Young Lady by Clarice Lispector. The book consists of three short stories, each revolving around the secrets and desires of a female protagonist. I found the stories to be heavily metaphor driven, there is a continuous feeling of doubt and wonder…

Europa

Christian Marot

I am a London based Fine Art Photographer. Experimenting with a range of camera-less techniques my work explores the line between the abstract and figurative. Often working on a large scale, the works aim to provoke a sense of awe and ambiguity.

The natural world plays a common motif, attempting to conjure particular moods and feelings of an object or place. My ongoing series…

Dream States

Cristian Blanaru

I was in my last year of high-school of arts in Romania when I typed illustration for the first time on my computer keyboard. I have studied drawing, painting and sculpting in a classical manner for several years but by the time I graduated high-school I was looking for something else, a new challenge perhaps.

I quickly found myself immersed in the beautiful images created by…

Emotional Impact

Gianluca Urdiroz Agati

A punch, a car crush, a body hitting the ground… Action scenes come to mind when I think about impact. It’s often physical, fast, loud and dramatic. However, the last few months I’ve been thinking of the deep and silent ways of emotional impact. Of how there are moments that may not have been physically impactful, not even dramatic, and still they resonate in the future…

Be in the Water, By the Coast, and you’ll be ok

Ana Clark – BA (Hons) Textiles

I was born in a bathtub in Rio de Janeiro and ever since I’ve loved being in water. There’s something about the stillness yet overwhelming power that feels comforting during complicated times. This year has been difficult – struggling with past trauma and trying to figure out a new normal, but what I was reminded of was my relationship to water & the sea. It has…

Reflective Mausoleum

Kinnari Saraiya – BA (Hons) Fine Art

Being an International student comes with the perks having a different cultural background that others may or may not be aware of. The most exciting aspect of it is to be able to use the cultural knowledge in artworks and stun the audience.

I find it interesting using my origin and knowledge of the Indian colonial history, the British Raj, the piece of…

#Fine Art

BH9 2QL

This project created by Morven Shortt was inspired by the boldness and expressiveness of Street Art. It adapts traditional crafts such as hand knit and latch hook. The aim was to challenge the belief that these skills are outdated and cannot be used to create something edgy and on trend.

An intensity exists within any hand process, and this was expressed through the vibrant use of fringing…

With the brilliant help of my photographer July Sumalde and Stylist Charlotte…
