KEW II (51 28'54'' 0 17'26''W) by Rebecca Tucker

Rebecca Tucker

KEW II (51 28'54'' 0 17'26''W)

Size:50x25cm

Price:£375

My work is involved with visually mapping my day to day experience, using locations associated with strong personal connection, or of places of emotional or historical significance. My paintings in this way form an aide memoire, a record of places that come to mean something to me through the recording of memory.

Glasshouses have become a recent inspiration, the combination of organic forms and architectural structures is of particular interest to me.

This painting is acrylic paint on wood panel, overlaying an abstract background with a layer of white negative space that forms the image of the plants in the Palm House at Kew Gardens.

Girl with beasts by Jade Evans

Jade Evans

Girl with beasts

Size:16x22cm

Price:NFS

A piece made from placing scraps of paper down and rolling acrylic paint across them. Then picking out details in the shapes I found. It was completely spontaneous as to what shapes and story I would see in this and only found the narrative while making the piece.

Claire Redoutet

The well of Santa Cristina

Size:

Price:NFS

This is a frottage marking of the sacred well of Santa Cristina in Sardinia. Made during my artist residency this year in Milis, Sardinia. I’ve been working on a texture collection project, using frottage and field recording to document the landscape here.

Yilin by Dan Whiteson

Dan Whiteson

Yilin

Size:50x70cm

Price:£600

‘Yilin’ is an original ink drawing and papercut from my ‘Disintegration of the Physical’ series; an ongoing process in which I attempt to visualise the impact of digital media on our physical existence and how we connect to the world around us.

I have always pictured this assault on our consciousness as a kind of death by a thousand cuts; endlessly pulling us away from the here and now and from what truly feeds the soul: human connection; physical touch; shared experience. My work seeks to portray this through a surgical deconstruction of the human form. Limbs become inorganic; geometric shapes wrestling with the beauty of the body and threatening to overwhelm it. Vast swathes of the figure vanish into thin air as we inhabit space and time less and less.

The process of drawing and then ‘destroying’ both the figure itself and the surface around it through papercutting both speaks to the quiet violence of modern distraction and further amplifies the sense of ‘disintegration’.

Parkland walk by Philip Bartle

Philip Bartle

Parkland walk

Size:31x39cm

Price:£240

A watercolour view of one of the bridges on the 3.1 mile linear park that used to be a railway line between Finsbury Park and Muswell hill. When signing a painting I usually try to make it as discrete as possible but in this case I took a spraycan and tagged the bridge, then painted it into the scene, so I guess that gives the art a direct connection to the place though it’s probably been over painted many times by now

Quiet Smile

Size:27x22cm

Price:£70

A 15-minute watercolour study from my first session with the life drawing group at Undersketch Soho. I’ve wanted to get more confident using watercolour in life drawing for a long time. There’s something exciting (and a bit scary) about working with such an unforgiving medium on a tight time limit. This piece captures a brief moment and the model’s subtle smile.

Portrait of Luc by Carolina Thorbert

Carolina Thorbert

Portrait of Luc

Size:24x33cm

Price:£250

It is said that “the face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart”. It was my aim to evoke something of the sitter’s soul or personality. I am interested in the silent language between us that is expressed consciously and subconsciously on our faces and bodies. I have been doing these portraits for a year and a half and they are part of an investigation in my observational, intuitive drawing style and personal mark making, using portrait as the subject matter.
This drawing is one in a pair of drawings submitted to the show.

Three Colours Red, Blue, Yellow by Su Bonfanti

Su Bonfanti

Three Colours Red, Blue, Yellow

Size:40x25 each piece

Price:£200 each, £500 for the triptych

These are old pieces of work that I rediscovered, refreshed and reframed. I can’t now remember why I made them but it looks like I was using bits and pieces of leftovers, which is typical of my felt making practice. When I saw them again, I loved the vibrant colour and the simple composition that lets the tones and textures sing. Sometimes you just want something that gives you joy.

Number 1: The Tesco’s by Julia Karl

Julia Karl

Number 1: The Tesco’s

Size:49x69cm

Price:£1,450

Part of an ongoing series, this watercolour painting blends traditional still life with contemporary pop culture. Number 1: The Tesco’s features an East London–brewed beer can paired with flowers sourced from both the Columbia Road Flower Market and Tesco. A playful dialogue emerges between the beer’s name and the Tesco receipt placed beside the can, adding a subtle narrative twist.

Cornucopia by Andreea Ditu

Andreea Ditu

Cornucopia

Size:29.7x42cm

Price:NFS

This screenprint reimagines the traditional Romanian blessing “casă de piatră” (“house of stone,” wished to newlyweds) through a humourous culinary lens. Rendered entirely in vivid red ink, the artwork constructs the silhouette of a house from the layered ingredients of biryani—rice grains, spices, herbs, and aromatic elements forming walls, beams, and rooflines.

The piece balances humour and symbolism: the biryani components evoke warmth, abundance, and the shared act of making a home, while the reinterpreted “house of stone” becomes a metaphor for building a future on richness, flavour, and care.

Moth Halo by Raph Seymour

Raph Seymour

Moth Halo

Size:42x33cm

As with the other piece Goldfish Halo that I entered the work was part of a series of faces haloed by ordinary or insignificant seeming things, the idea was exploring everyday divinity.

Lunar Year of the Wood Snake by Lucia Fioretti / KitsuneArt

Lucia Fioretti / KitsuneArt

Lunar Year of the Wood Snake

Size:21x30cm

Price:£20

I’ve imagined it as an ascending spiral staircase, approached with caution but also with intention. The year of the Snake is a time for deep transformation, wisdom, and shedding old layers to reveal our truest self. Reminding us that growth comes when we embrace change and trust our instincts. The Snake invites us to listen to our inner voice and release anything that no longer serves us, just as a snake naturally sheds its skin. It’s a time for strategic action, deep self-reflection, and stepping into our personal power.

(The Lunar Year of the Snake goes from Jan 29, 2025 to Feb 16, 2026).

Digital art printed on premium matte paper 225 gsm.

Graphite stick on paper. A spontaneous study of a head. It was drawn during on a recent trip to Paris where I made it a rule to draw every day whilst I was there no matter how I felt.

It’s not knowingly part of a series, but I often find myself drawing faces and expressions…

A Kind of Angel by Chiara Scoglio

Chiara Scoglio

A Kind of Angel

Size:40x36cm

Price:£50

A Kind of Angel is a graphite and watercolour drawing on upcycled paper. It is part of an ongoing series of illustrations, paintings and sculptural works created in 2025 and exploring the concept of personal mythology and identity through the continual research into lost Northern Italian folklore, as well as nightmares and daydreams. A Kind of Angel reimagines a London cloudy sky into a secretly spiritual image of angels and a symbol of longing. It attempts to represent the strive for a truly deep, pure, connection to someone or something other. The series this drawing is part of has been an experiment in a new direction, as I have been trying to draw on a bigger scale and in a more experimental and intuitive way. Though not religious in a strict sense, I wish to reach a creative state that might equal a form of prayer.

Rod by Dr Helen R. Jacobus

Dr Helen R. Jacobus

Rod

Size:50x40cm

Price:£270.50

Portrait of the talented artist, teacher and our friend, Rod Kitson. Rod kindly invited me to submit one of my watercolour portraits to the show, as I had told him that I didn’t think I had anything suitable to contribute to it. So, I took up his suggestion and painted his portrait. Inspired by the light, bold colours and his really cool shades, I went for gouache, which is a new medium for me, aiming for a kind of retro Pop-Art style with a free-floating Hamilton, Warhol, Hockney vibe. In this way, I could try to achieve the effect of the smooth flatness of the cerulean sky, at least. I also wanted a bit of mystery, and psychology: what is he looking at, what’s going through his mind? I think the non-distracting cleanness of gouache may help with this kind of focus.

Oil painting on canvas board of a calm Italian harbour. Timing is ambiguous between morning and evening. An unusual perspective with eyeline above the horizon gives a sense of looking in on the scene, not part of it.

Sensation

The collage explores the sensations via which we experience our surrounding and the ambivalence they could provoke.

Experimental abstract 1 - fluid motion by Jon Clay

Jon Clay

Experimental abstract 1 - fluid motion

Size:50x40cm

Price:NFS

Oil on panel. Experimental abstract with sense of motion and question of imbalance. A strong vertical separates ‘balance’ from ‘imbalance’.

Moving away from a preference for representational work, this piece addresses issues of motion, balance and security by placing a source of imbalance in one of the major blocks of structure.

The intention is to convey a sense of flow mainly in the horizontal but there are also areas where the viewer can see flow in the vertical plane.

The viewer is left to question what the impression of mass is and whether there could be a lack of support from the imbalance and if this gives a feeling of insecurity.

Jo's Bar by Lucy Stylianou

Lucy Stylianou

Jo's Bar

Size:70x20cm + A4

Price:NFS

Ever wondered what it might be like working in a strip club?

For about three years, I worked behind the bar of strip pub. Yes, a strip PUB not a strip CLUB. A strip pub is basically a really budget strip club, and they’re typically only found in East London. Entry fees are low, or non-existent before 4pm (they’re usually open from noon) and they attract all sorts; from wealthy bankers, to quiet old men who just want to watch their fave footie team play on the telly, all without having to queue up like you would at a regular pub. Oh, and with the addition of naked ladies adoring you (or rather, your wallet) everywhere you look.

The seed for Jo’s Bar got planted in my brain during one of the very long bus rides home at the end of my shift. I got into the habit of noting down all the bizarre happenings from the night into my phone’s notes, and imagined it would be a fun concept for a RPG game. Those notes I made have become priceless in the development of Jo’s Bar.

Secretary Bird

Size:8x8in

I was mesmerised by the Secretary birds (Sagittarius serpentarius) since I was lucky enough to see one in-person in Tokyo Zoo. It is an elegant yet ferocious bird. Despite appearing delicate, they are capable of killing venomous snakes and other reptiles. I aspired to capture this balance of the opposites in the artwork.
It is a piece of digital art that was created throughout the first half of 2025. It is part of a growing series of birds of prey paintings, currently featuring two artworks.

Purple Tansy by Juli Fejer

Juli Fejer

Purple Tansy

Size:31x38

Price:£65

My work is rooted in my journey from isolated invalid to gallery artist. For decades I was locked in chronic pain, worklessness, and despair – on society’s scrapheap. I was encouraged to take my art seriously by therapists on an NHS pain management course. Soon, what had started as a distraction became a passion as I reconnected with a childhood love of drawing.

I paint landscapes and I am interested in the story behind the scene – my emotional connection with a moment or place. I am fascinated by trees and celebrate them in my work from the ancient forests to urban streets.

This painting, made with watercolour and gouache on paper, was created in summer 2025. It was inspired by fields of purple phacelia in Norfolk. I shouted to my husband to stop the car, jumped out and took photographs and sketched on the back of a shopping list. I turned the ideas into a series of paintings. I have no formal training and identify as an outsider artist.

Leo by Dan Whiteson

Dan Whiteson

Leo

Size:50x70cm

Price:£600

‘Leo’ is an original ink drawing and papercut from my ‘Disintegration of the Physical’ series; an ongoing process in which I attempt to visualise the impact of digital media on our physical existence and how we connect to the world around us.

I have always pictured this assault on our consciousness as a kind of death by a thousand cuts; endlessly pulling us away from the here and now and from what truly feeds the soul: human connection; physical touch; shared experience. My work seeks to portray this through a surgical deconstruction of the human form. Limbs become inorganic; geometric shapes wrestling with the beauty of the body and threatening to overwhelm it. Vast swathes of the figure vanish into thin air as we inhabit space and time less and less.

The process of drawing and then ‘destroying’ both the figure itself and the surface around it through papercutting both speaks to the quiet violence of modern distraction and further amplifies the sense of ‘disintegration’.

Rhythm by Cat Coulter

Cat Coulter

Rhythm

Size:27x27cm

Price:£150

“Rhythm” is an original cyanotype, created using natural sunlight and waste plastic. This unique print is perhaps more abstract than my usual work and makes a companion piece to “And Blues”, which is my other original cyanotype in this year’s End of Year show.

Check (yourself) Mate by Mina Gohary

Mina Gohary

Check (yourself) Mate

Size:30x43cm

Price:£50

This risograph print shows half of a series of animation frames. The animation tells the story of a cowboy riding a knight chess piece, and when the other player goes to move their piece, the cowboy swats their hand away with a lasso. As a keen chess player (but not a very good one), the piece was inspired by a losing streak of chess games, and aims to narrate the whimsy in the trivial pursuit of failure.

The Amateur by Hector Huang

Hector Huang

The Amateur

Size:42x32cm

Price:£150

Gouache, acrylic underpainting, paper. Winter 2023.

This is a piece that has never seen the light of day since its creation, but suddenly it feels relevant 2 winters later. The alienation feels the same, but a passion seems to resurface.

Alienation and uncanny-ness have always been the focus of my art, which features a lot of imaginary faces.

A Girl and A Kozak by Elena Oliinyk

Elena Oliinyk

A Girl and A Kozak

Size:297x500mm

Price:£60

These are stills from my first animation this year, inspired by a viral Ukrainian song that suddenly took over my feed. I was missing home, the language, and all the small cultural things, so I started drawing the characters from the song. The girl and the kozak in this frame appear at the very end of the animation.

I made it using hand-drawn textures combined with digital illustration, and it unexpectedly started a new creative direction for me. What began as a small fun project led me to explore animation and even stop motion. This piece is part of the series I am submitting for the show, all inspired by that song and a strong sense of homesickness.

A Wind Within by Chiara Scoglio

Chiara Scoglio

A Wind Within

Size:30x21cm

Price:£30

A Wind Within is a mixed media drawing on paper. It is part of an ongoing series of illustrations, paintings and sculptural works created in 2025 and exploring the concept of personal mythology and identity through the continual research into lost Northern Italian folklore, as well as nightmares and daydreams. A Wind Within attempts to capture a side of me that I still find too restless, undefinable and dark to properly describe, one that priorities my own freedom above anything else. At times I believe this side of me to be all I can really rely on, my North Star, but I also so fear the loneliness coming with it. The series this drawing is part of has been an experiment in a new direction, as I have been trying to draw on a bigger scale and in a more experimental and intuitive way. Though not religious in a strict sense, I wish to reach a creative state that might equal a form of prayer.

Caught in Profile by Michael Ollerton

Michael Ollerton

Caught in Profile

Size:27x22cm

Price:£70

“A 10-minute sketch using diluted calligraphy ink loaded into a water brush pen, from the first Undersketch Soho session. I was really pleased with how the folds on her shirt sleeve came together in just a few brushstrokes. The model had this constant, subtle smile as if she were thinking of a moment that made her happy, and I loved trying to catch that feeling in the moment.

mixed media and acrylic mixed media piece exploring the complexities of female body image.

Honesty in Blue by Sari Uchida

Sari Uchida

Honesty in Blue

Size:21x30cm

Price:NFS

Painting on paper, gouache and gansai.
I am entranced by the luminous, translucent quality of the seed pods of Honesty, which is the name of the plant. This work is the first in a series to come.

Alchemy by Oliver Lassalle

Oliver Lassalle

Alchemy

Size:25x20cm

Price:£600

Abstract painting, acrylic on canvas. Framed.
Inspired by Lyrical Abstraction, I aim to reactivate this pictorial language within a contemporary context. Each work is created in the moment, through a process of total improvisation where chance and control converge. The act of painting matters as much as the result: each canvas is a trace of lived intensity. While my work resonates with the legacy of a great master, it asserts its own identity, shaped by my time and personal experience.
Maintaining visual creation within the confines of human emotional territories has never been more relevant.

Ascent by Rashad Al-Karooni

Rashad Al-Karooni

Ascent

Size:63x46cm

Price:£700

In this piece, I continue my exploration of movement, structure, and the spaces between form and function. Inspired by the fluidity of dance, the drawing captures not the dancer themselves but the traces of motion they leave behind—an echo of rhythm suspended in time. The ethereal, drifting forms reflect my ongoing interest in translating physical gesture into spatial expression, a dialogue shaped by my background in art and architecture.

Feeling a Little Klimt by John Williams

Feeling a Little Klimt

Multimedia work inspired by Japanese woodblock artist Hokusai and Austrian artist Gustav Klimt

Yishu by Paul Shinn

Yishu

Size:32.5x24cm

A 20 minute drawing from a life drawing class in September. Dramatic lighting led me to play more with light and shadow. Brush pen, colour pencil, markers and highlighter pen.

Corals by Letitia Zhao

Letitia Zhao

Corals

Size:25x25cm

Price:NFS

A gouache and coloured pencil painting inspired by corals, whose somewhat alien forms and array of colours feel like an escape from the rigidity of rules felt in day-to-day life. Precision was not the main aim here, instead, the idea of making ‘incorrect’ marks was disregarded and the final piece was formed from many layers. This allowed for a meditative process, much like the experience of watching corals ebb in water.

Yellow flowers on fire by Jon Clay

Jon Clay

Yellow flowers on fire

Size:50x40cm

Price:NFS

Oil on panel in a very loose thick impasto style. This imagined scene uses a coastal sky / sea background with bright bare trees and green climbing plants. Contrasting this is are tall yellow flowers being enveloped by fire. The viewer is left to decide if or when the fire could spread.

The composition is less ‘certain’ as to the eventual outcome for the content of the scene. The viewer is unsure if the flowers would burn on their own leaving the other material intact or whether all the living material would be destroyed.

If all the vegetation were to burn this would leave just the sun and sea – reminding us of their permanence over living plants and creatures on earth.

Us and Them by Ben Gorrad

Ben Gorrad

Us and Them

Size:34x46cm

Price:£135

‘Us and Them’ is an abstracted landscape illustration in Ink and Watercolour, a reflection of the existential threat of ever-accelerating wealth and class divide on full abhorrent display here in London and across the ‘developed’ world. The horizon line between the foreground slums and those sleek, glistening towers of the city mirrors the relative housing price increase since the year of the artists birth. Part of an ongoing series of abstracted ‘Rorschach Tests’ – prints available at ArtBiBen.com.

The Guitar Player by Maciej Rackiewicz

Inspired by one of the drawings from my daily practice. I often find myself inspired to draw people working with their hands.

And Blues by Cat Coulter

And Blues

Size:27x27cm

Price:£150

“And Blues” is an original cyanotype created using natural sunlight and waste plastic. This unique print is more abstract than my usual work and makes a companion piece to “Rhythm”, which is my other original cyanotype in this year’s End of Year show.

Self Portrait November 2025 by Gavin Nicholls

Gavin Nicholls

Self Portrait November 2025

Size:38x31cm

Price:NFS

As a portrait artist I frequently draw or paint self portraits in between other works. These form not only a record of my progress and help me to improve my skills but will also become a collection over time of my ageing process.
With AI on the rise, there has been a surge in digitally generated portraits in particular profile pictures on social media. I don’t think anything can replace the human approach to a portrait. There is a connection made between artist and sitter, and in my opinion this cannot be replicated by technology. AI tends to remove the soul of the artwork.
My submission was created with charcoal pencils, a medium I return to regularly and currently is my preferred method. Again, there is not only a connection with artist and subject or sitter, but also a connection directly with the pencil and paper, something of me is infused into the drawing.

Portrait of Ed by Derek Mason

Derek Mason

Portrait of Ed

Size:44x61cm

Price:NFS

A portrait of life model Ed.
Soft pastels on paper.
I was drawn to Ed’s strong profile and tried to depict it accurately but loosely, with as few marks as possible.
Working with a limited palette, I experimented with layering to build form. I find this can also help to portray the translucence of skin.
I tend to work quickly and hope to express the dynamic energy, fragility and strength of a person.

Emma & Pal by JL Maxcy

Emma & Pal

Size:31x41cm

Price:£600

Whimsical portrait of two unlikely friends. Acrylic on canvas panel. From the artist’s Cool Portrait series.

Egyptian Vulture by Anastasia Klimova

Anastasia Klimova

Egyptian Vulture

Size:8x8in

Price:£20

Egyptian vultures (Neophron percnopterus) were venerated by ancient Egyptians as a symbol of royalty and it was associated with the gods Isis and Mut. In more recent times, however, they were despised and called dung-eaters. Considering the contrast of opinions that humans held for it, I wanted to present this bird as it is, with its beautiful white feathers and stunning bright yellow face, and let the viewer decide whether they want to apply any particular label to it.
It is a piece of digital art that was created throughout the first half of 2025. It is part of a growing series of birds of prey paintings, currently featuring two artworks.

Natsumi I & II by Christopher Devlin

Christopher Devlin

Natsumi I & II

Size:56x42c,

Price:£89

Drawn in charcoal and chalk pencils on grey paper. The reference for these images was a home-recorded life drawing session, where a trained dancer leapt from a poised seated pose, to a dramatic arched position. I wanted to see how different my approach would be when working from a screen versus working from life – whether the ability to pause, measure, and obsess over detail, would affect the dynamism and strain of the second pose; how the hard work of the model can create a pressure to do it justice.
