Helen Lang, Wet Paint

Originally from Devon, Helen now lives and works from a rather lovely South West London studio (from which she can witness squirrel fights in the park) and spends her time developing her decorative lettering styles, combining beautiful colour and clean lines to create a quirky and vibrant style.

Her passion for her work is illustrated in everything she designs, creatures and characters burst into life in her colourful and gently humorous designs.

Helen has worked on a number of projects for many high profile organisations and companies in the UK, Europe and beyond including John Lewis, Te Neues and the Tate. Her illustrations have also adorned an array of products over her career including t-shirts, porcelain mugs, greeting cards and stationery.

Helen's beautiful limited edition prints are available through a variety of online retailers as well as her website and are perfect gifts which can adorn your home or workplace.

Lene Bladbjerg

Lene is a Danish artist based in London. Her work is influenced by her background as a graphic designer - typography and grids drift in and out of her pieces creating haunting images and surprising messages.

Lene’s work can be very thought-provoking. She pays great attention to the smaller scale details of everyday life. In her work she attempts to capture the hidden beauty or interesting aspect of even the most ordinary of events or objects. She often creates her work by incorporating unusual materials, often re-cycled. www.lenebladbjerg.com

Architectural Art

These original paintings are formed out of a unique layering technique to give depth and space to the image. This also enables the production of large scale paintings to client specifications.

These original paintings mainly include various historical and contemporary landmark buildings in major towns and cities. The work is unique in its construction and technique and the resulting pieces generate interest and fascination for the viewer, who is able to relate to familiar architecture through an alternative and stimulating interpretation.

In conjunction with paintings, artistically enhanced photographs provide a thought-provoking environment for both home and office.
