  • Introducing Natalia Millman
    My artistic practice is rooted in intuition and transformation—an ongoing dialogue between destruction and creation, fragility and resilience. I believe in a universal energy that connects all things, and through my work, I try to trace that thread across personal, communal, and ecological narratives. Whether I’m working with drawing, scent, sound, or sculptural installation, my… Read more: Introducing Natalia Millman
  • Artist Feature: Lea Layeux
    As one of the artists taking part in our ‘Alchemical’ exhibition, we invited Léa Layeux, known as Oxalea, to share her processes and inspiration… I mainly work with plants that I pick responsibly in the Alps. I then press these so that the plants retain their colours; occasionally I work with already dried plants. For instance,… Read more: Artist Feature: Lea Layeux

  • Artist of the Month: Taya De La Cruz
    What is your art practice? What themes do you explore and why? My art practice is a little unconventional as my approach to mark making is not commonplace in the art world. I compose my pieces with tiny handwriting, and tiny paint drips created with medical-grade syringes.  I aim to stimulate opposing parts of the… Read more: Artist of the Month: Taya De La Cruz
  • Artist Feature: Molly Lambourn
    My practice specialises in drawing, I draw obsessively on 2D and 3D forms. I am inspired by literature and explore themes of womanhood, self, and mundanity. My work is decadently intricate and detailed, subverting conventional images of beauty and femininity to explore darker realities.  I am interested in making typically domestic or non fine art… Read more: Artist Feature: Molly Lambourn
  • Artist Feature: E Bee Bantug
    My art practice has become a daily meditation triggered by how I see light and its movement in the ether and on light-sensitive surfaces, whether outdoors in nature or interior spaces. I’ve always been drawn to philosophies and nature even when I lived in bustling urban cities in Asia, Europe and, now, America. Both my… Read more: Artist Feature: E Bee Bantug

  • Framing Our Future Interviews: Molly Lambourn and Fiona Pearce

It was the joy to explore different materials, invent my own techniques… Read more: Framing Our Future Interview: Christine Manderla

  • Artist of the Month: Marjan Khorram Golkaran
    My interest in nature is rooted in my childhood, when I became sensitive to it through Iranian tradition and culture, which is itself derived from nature, as well as living in northern Iran. With the development of industry and technology, the man of the modern age has become ignorant of the nature that is his main… Read more: Artist of the Month: Marjan Khorram Golkaran
  • Artist of the Month: The Finsbury Park Deltics
    I have been drawing ever since I burst forth, urgent and confused, from a municipal bed in England. Initially I doodled as a way of alleviating childhood angst; now I do it as a way of alleviating angst that’s all grown up and running around with scissors. Working in a variety of media, I parody mass… Read more: Artist of the Month: The Finsbury Park Deltics
  • Artist of the Month: Catherine Pickop
    I have been working with mineral pigment, coffee residue and senses for the last couple of years. These mediums allow me to use all my sense, I find it very meditative and therapeutic.

  • Work by Anna Marie Savage
    Artist of the Month: Anna Marie Savage
    My practice explores the idea of studying ‘identity’ and more importantly, how cultural and national identity is realized today, albeit in a romanticized, reminiscent concept. Everything I believe in; my country, its historical reference, its language, its culture and identity forms who I am and thus informs my work. My practice is informed by place so therefore… Read more: Artist of the Month: Anna Marie Savage
  • Stefan Dowsing Immeasurable Forces 2019
    Artist of the Month: Stefan Dowsing
    Moving to Southern Spain had a transformational effect on my art. I became fascinated by the distant horizon line of the Mediterranean Sea, and found a new source of inspiration. I have become concerned with what I think of as a ‘poetic longing’ or nostalgia for places I may never have even known. Reoccurring themes… Read more: Artist of the Month: Stefan Dowsing
  • Artist of the Month: Cathy Stocker
    I’m interested in art that challenges and engages the viewer, suggesting a different way of seeing the world. To my mind, it should challenge our attitudes and raise our awareness. Something aesthetically pleasing or dramatic can draw you in and start a conversation – a springboard for thought or discussion. Some of my recent paintings… Read more: Artist of the Month: Cathy Stocker
  • Artist of the Month: James Earley
    I was born in Southampton and from a very early age I was passionate about art. As a quiet and shy child I found art a good way of communicating, as well as an escape from the complex world around me.

ArtCan at Creative Climate Fest! Creative Climate ArtCan at Creative Climate Fest!

Creative Climate Fest will be taking place at Scolton Manor Park on the 5th and 6th July; a weekend of art, music, spoken word and environmentalism at a beautiful country park in Pembrokeshire. ArtCan Green Team curators @lawrencemathias9 and @catherinefentonart are putting together a video installation featuring work by ArtCan member artists with an environmental theme, extending the reach of artists’ work outside regular gallery spaces, and sharing it with people who might not get the chance to travel to a major city for an art exhibition.
