LUPEN CROOK

Lupen Crook is a visual artist, songwriter and DIY enthusiast. Crook’s creative output has only gained pace and relevance since pop magazine NME first tipped him for the top in 2005. Recently described as a ‘classic british eccentric’ and likened to a ‘British Nick Cave’ by The Big Issue, his uncompromising art-driven approach, including a prolific output of music (albums including 2012’s ‘British Folk Tales’ appear as hand-crafted editions) have given way to a growing cult following. A 2012 exhibition in Camden curated by Liana Burne of renowned arts organisation The Museum Of Everything, and independent sales since 2009 across Europe and the UK have continued to expose Lupen Crook’s ‘Broken Arts’, which present real life scenes as well as the imagined, using traditional oil paints alongside puzzle pieces and other mixed media. Lupen Crook will showcase a new and unseen body of work at this forthcoming exhibition. www.lupencrook.com


JONI BELARUSKI

Joni Belaruski is from the North-West coast of Ireland. A self-taught artist and musician, upon landing in the North-East underbelly of London she has embraced the alternative cabaret and underground music scenes, forming gypsy punk outfit The Great Malarkey. As an artist she has exhibited across London since 2010, showcasing her work in a variety of independent galleries.

Joni’s distinctive illustrations draw inspiration from the colourful characters of these underground environments, as well dealing with explorations of the human psyche - surreal dreamlike compositions evoking images of orgies and animalistic instincts. Joni will be showing a new collection of drawings with the same dark and decadent edge, drawing inspiration from myth and fiction… a savage reality where human and animal are indistinguishable from chimeras and monsters of the mind. jonibelaruski.com
