What's dropping, by Art-el on Jul 6, 2008 22:00:52 GMT 1, New in at

Hay Folks

Art-el are delighted to add Andy Council to our list of artists.

We start off with some nice black & white originals with more to come.

Andy Council uses his drawing skills and love of detail to create bizarrely intricate collections of creatures, from rabbits made of tanks to dinosaurs mobilized by ‘lots of stuff’. He was trained in the traditional techniques of animation and drawing, influenced by Miyazaki and Geoff Darrow amongst others, then taught himself digital techniques and now uses a combination of graphics, line drawing, ink and paint pen. Not content with screen or paper, Andy is now assaulting windows of Bristol with his unique menagerie.


New work on canvas and paper og's on canvas from Ria Hill

Ria studied printed textiles and screen printing and this design influence is revered in her painting approach and composition. Masses of colour and intense collage against open white space, create striking images of wonderment and women jumping out of the canvas. Rudie Red combines Ria’s love of fashion photography, tattoo imagery and her knack for portraiture and imagination.

Prints from one of the UK's fastest rising pop artists, Brightons Ben Allen.

These notions bare comparison to Ben’s working technique, as his works are largely unplanned, he describes his work as a visual ether of thought and suggestion, a silent dialogue of past, present and future.

Working in a multitude of media and materials, some of his influences include comic book art, Japanese graphics, typography, physical communication, nature and the human condition.

His work is in private collections throughout the UK, in Australia, New York, Barcelona, Japan and has featured in The Observer, Elle Déco and GQ magazines to name but a few

New work from the legend that is Graham 'Paris' will be released soon but can now be viewed on the site.

A recent radio interview with Paris can be heard on the link below at about 40mins
