Matt Faulkner was born in London in 1977 and after school qualified as a Financial Adviser. After a number of very successful years working in the city Faulkner decided to follow his dream, and open a recording studio in London's famous 'TinPan Alley'. Over the years the studio hosted a wealth of artists including, Adam Ant and rock band Million Dead. In 2002, Matt relocated from London to South Wales. The power of the surrounding countryside inspired Matt to pick up the brush for the first time in 10 years and he began to paint a series of works inspired by the horizon. Art and music have always played a huge part in Matt's life, "I find that the two creative outlets compliment each other as a cathartic release and as a lifestyle away from the rat-race." he says, adding when, "I aren't making a mess with paints, I am usually making a noise in the studio."

Originally trained as a ceramicist, Olga now translates those 3 dimensional skills on to a 2 dimensional plane. Strong and powerful imagery is combined with equally fervent washes of deep earthy colours, often juxtaposing figurative imagery with bold yet soft blocks of colour.

Georgian artist Irma Gelantia studied at the Tbilisi State Academy of Art, graduating from the Faculty of Monumental-Decorative Painting in 2004. Her surrealist images draw on symbols of history, power and the unconscious. Her forms imply a sense of fluidity and freedom sometimes contrasting with the themes they represent, suggesting a dreamlike escape from a troublesome reality. Her traditional still life paintings exhibit her training and high level of skill that underpins the surrealist works and an understanding of the art historical remit for this form, to celebrate the material pleasures of her subjects. From this she departs to the ephemeral representations of her more stylized works.
