Lois O’Hara

Lois O’Hara is a Brighton-based artist and designer who creates joyful hand-painted murals, and illustrations. Her signature aesthetic uses wavy shapes and patterns in bold colour combinations, and she has applied this to all kinds of products, from water bottles to buses, exercise studio interiors to window displays, and now wallcoverings! Working mainly in public spaces, O’Hara is interested in the positive effects colour can have on people and places. She comments: ‘I’m interested in capturing the fluidity of an image in motion.’ Working with colour that pops out from often dull urban landscapes, Lois's work explores how inserting bright splashes of colour can have a positive effect on people, places, and mental health. www.loisohara.co.uk

Stephen Walter

Stephen's drawings are a tangle of signs, words and images that draw the viewer into the artist’s intricate worlds. A graduate of Manchester Metropolitan University and the Royal College of art, he is best-known for his series of hand-drawn maps, done in enormous detail and layered with both visual and textual information. Each work is an intricate world in itself; a tangle of words and symbols that make up a complex of hidden meanings and wider contradictions. Through drawing, photography and printmaking, his artworks explore the meaning of objects, the glory of maps, our place in the world, and the potential legacy that we bequeath to future generations. Please note that some of Stephen's designs contain colourful language and adult themes. www.stephenwalter.co.uk
