Mentalgassi

Mentalgassi are a German based graffiti collective, really interesting site specific installations.

Tom Kitchen

Tom Kitchen has some excellent illustrative work, more of which can be found on his blog.

Stuart Haygarth

Stuart Haygarth specialises in finding new uses for old things, I really love the way he creates such beautiful decorative items out of what other people consider waste.

Faile

Is a Brooklyn based collective whose work can be found all across the world, prominent features include collage and the use of massively repeated logos and icons. I love the multi layered pieces such as the one above. They have also worked on much more ambitious pieces such as a full scale temple in Portugal, more of their varied work can be found here.

Anne Adamson

Anne Edmondson is a Bristol based artist whose work comprises of fantastical and dreamlike landscapes. She was another person I saw at the BV Open Studios showing the wide range of talent on display at the event.

Sinead Finnegan

At the North Bristol Art Trail there was some good work and very hospitable people, I especially liked the embroidery work of Sinead Finnegan.

Mat Collishaw

I was just having a flick through the Evening Standard my sister picked up in London yesterday and I was attracted by the story about Mat Collishaw's Magic Lantern installation at the V&A. Upon having a look at his website I found that there was a lot of good (and sometimes challenging) work, combining sculpture, animals and photography.
