SYRETT

Utilising high end textures and techniques of the fashion industry, he uses these elements to create exquisite artworks with hints of exotic animal skins, rarely occurring nature materials such real gold and pearls together with glossy finishes and hardware more akin to handbags. Working in several processes, mixing traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial techniques. SYRETT is developing a highly polished art process, creating twice yearly collections with ever changing styles. SYRETT’s latest collection of works is called The Designer Collection and each piece is named after a fashion designer that SYRETT respects. SYRETT lives and works in London.
Jake Mosher
Jake Mosher is a multi-award-winning photographer from Montana, USA. He grew up in Northern Vermont, on the edge of a tiny village near the Canadian border, in the heart of some of New England’s wildest country. From a very young age, he found himself drawn to remote places, at home in the deep woods, falling in love with the natural world around him.
“My work is photography and artistic design intertwined, and its results are pieces that yield new surprises each time you look at them. From complicated, geometric patterns, to sublime shifts in colour, to the flowing feel of wings on a summer breeze, my images are a fitting tribute to one of Earth’s most beautiful creatures”

Dara Vandor
Dara Vandor received a BA from McGill in Art History. Her work is held in public and private collections in North America and Europe, and has been exhibited in London, Los Angeles, Toronto and Montreal.
“Much like works of art, lingerie can occupy spaces of both function and fantasy. For me, this makes it an ideal subject through which to explore desire, femininity and memory. Through this series of drawings, an effort has been made to render that most personal portrait — with the intimacy of the private simultaneously shared.”
Ant Pearce
After completing his education at Central Saint Martins School of Art and an MA from Camberwell College of Arts, Pearce began to showcase human psychology, interpreting the theories of Freud, Kafka, Camus, Dostoyevsky, Kant and Schopenhauer through his inventive artistic mediums.
His art emphasises the relationship between order and mayhem. Pearce's work explores the themes of anxiety and imprisonment specifically, but not exclusively on the masculine body. Each piece embraces the idea of de-construction and the spiritual importance of the line as explored by Dutch avant-garde, constructivist Theo van Doesburg while the style of abstraction termed ‘painter-ly architectonics’ developed by Russian Cubo-Furturist Lyubov Popova is clearly visible.
