ArtAttack Launch Exhibition Artists Announced!

 

Massive congratulations to the 7 artists officially chosen for the ArtAttack Launch Exhibition from our #HangInChelsea competition.

The artists are:

1. Massimo Agostinelli. American-Italian, but London-born artist, Agostinelli, is known for his ‘Word Play | Text Art’ works which have been exhibited in galleries in London and New York and are held among collections in major cities across 5 continents.

2. Samin Ahmadzadeh. This Iran-born artist and CSM graduate’s background in street       photography is combined with a passion of expressing her personal views on sociological and cultural matters of her country. Her practice continues to evolve with a specific focus on archival collections of her family’s cultural history.

3. Jadé Fadojutimi. First year MA Painting at Royal Collage Of Art, BA graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, 2015. Fadojutimi lives and works in London.

4. Richard Magee. Currently at the Slade School Of Art. Recipient of two Art Awards, Pankerd-Jones Memorial Prize in Fine Art and The City Hotel Art Prize. Work with acrylics and spray paint.

5. Cyrus Mahboubian. Mahboubian, also known as ‘Cyrus Artist’, is a British artist, photographer and independent filmmaker, known for his contemplative approach to photography and his continued use of analogue materials, especially polaroid. His intentionally slow process is a response to the increasing influence of technology in modern life.

6. Imogen Parry. Dark paradise is a concept that fascinates Parry, and she is interested to capture something eerily beautiful. ‘I make work around the concept of paradise. I’m not sure if I believe it to be a real place, but an amalgamation of different ideals.’ Parry’s preferred media is print and photographic based.

7. Tess Williams. MA Fine Art Graduate from Central Saint Martins, Williams is a large-scale gestural abstract painter who lives and works in London. Williams chooses to make large paintings, mainly on canvases that are bigger than herself so that she feels encompassed.
