Bernal Alcantarilla excels in a range of media\, from sculpture to char coal to print work. He describes his work as a commentary on inequality in society rather than a critique or a call-to-action. Bernal Alcantarilla i s a teacher of fine art techniques and his main aim is to show others how he achieves his results\, declaring he has “no secrets”. Helios is cur rently one of the tattoo artists working at The Painted Ladies.\n\nJacob G ourley \nis a Liverpool based artist\, specialising in oil and acrylic pa inting\, graduating with a first class honours degree from the University of Gloucestershire. During his second year of university\, he was awarded a scholarship to study for a month in the British School in Rome. This exp erience\, along with trips to Tuscany and The Far East\, have hugely shape d his practice\, each marking a pivotal moment in his artistic career.\n\n David Howe \nAn artist and Illustrator living and working in Liverpool\, U K. David is known for his charcoal drawings which often have a narrative t wist and illustrate the texts that accompany them. His practice also invol ves documenting the world in this medium\, as seen in his charcoal drawing s around Chernobyl.

David has worked with clients such as AON\, The Folio Society\, HMC coffee in Kuwait and MAGMA in Qatar.\n\nLouis Jeck-Prestidge \nLouis appropriates clips from Youtube to produce paintings and digital videos. These clips are ordered and trans cribed forming an open-ended narrative. Louis is interested in the way in which the media imitates human behaviour. Thus developing a new form of ps ychological discourse. Louis details the changes in techniques and attitud es in movie image making. Images are framed within its own temporarily.\n\ nKenneth J O’Hare \nViewing a modern city from afar becomes almost a med itative experience\, one hears no noise nor sees no people\, buildings sta nd as megalith structures that tower silently above the horizon\, the view er is confronted by a geometry of horizontal and vertical lines. As techno logy advances glass has become an integral part of architects’ designs\, exploiting its potential to its limits\, creating structures where people live and work. Kenneth has experimented in depicting the city by studying the effects of light on glass\, how light is reflected or absorbed. Throu gh his work he endeavours to capture the city\, its geometric forms and sp ace within\, with its facades of glass and geometric shapes\, that appear to suspend or fall from the sky\, reflecting and absorbing energy and ligh t. In his work\, each frame of glass contains a minimalist image in three dimensional space\, each frame harmonising with its neighbour\, collective ly forming a final painting\, giving the viewer a meditative and spiritual experience.\n\nAndy Wolfenden \nAndrew Wolfenden is a freelance graphic a rtist and designer from Liverpool. His current practice involves typograph y\, print\, editorial and promotional design but he still mixes and experi ments with a whole range of different types of media\, processes and disci plines. Over the past year he has became conscious of typography around us \, in shops\, front pages of newspapers and so on and how we perceive it\, how every day it tries to provoke a reaction from us. Has incorporated th e influence typography has into his own work through the use of font and c olour to cause a emotional response in the viewer.
