“Woke Trinity” - JYMA

Acrylic paint, sharpies and oil pastel on canvas.

For the past few months JYMA has been experimenting with many different ways of depicting his original poems that contain powerful messages.

The artist has this to say about his final artwork…

“These are three causes that are close to my heart. And I’m ready to share them with the world.”

“Elora” 3D textile sculpture (20cm) by Michael Morley. ✨

Michael has recently been working on a series of pieces in a variety of mediums based on an original design of Ancient Greece, two of which are pictured here.

This Ancient Greece work is from a previous series of digital illustrations Michael created based on “time travel”.

Talented at whatever technique this artist puts his hand too, this latest iteration of “Ancient Greece” showcases Michael’s attention to detail and refined approach.

Matt, working from his own drawings of riverboats, began this piece by creating a series of interlocking shapes using modelling wire. He then wrappped the final sculpture with masking tape to use as a stencil for spray painting.

We are loving the confidence Matt is establishing in his unique creative processes.
