Ben Wilson is an artist from North West England whose practice began in painting and now extends to drawing, sculpture and installation. Rooted in experimentation, Wilson’s work explores comfort, desire and coping through nostalgic, personal and everyday actions. Combining bold figurative marks with rich textures and tones, Wilson creates pieces that balance familiarity and playfulness, inviting reflective engagement with layered emotional themes. Master of Time explores short moments of tranquillity that hold great significance. It evolves through facing crossroads, noticing the beautiful details of the mundane, and getting a little too lost in thought. In times of strain, Master of Time highlights the importance of rest, reflection and the simple pleasures often overlooked in everyday life.
Billie Rae Busby is a Canadian visual artist known for abstract landscape paintings. Using precise hard- edge techniques and colour theory, Busby layers linear and geometric forms to evoke memory, movement and time. Inspired by both urban architecture and vast rural environments, Busby reinterprets familiar places in fresh ways. Busby continues to explore how art can transform ordinary surroundings into spaces of wonder and possibility. The landscape painting Gravity of You is a response to both personal and collective overwhelm. Through abstraction, Billie Rae Busby seeks to express the emotional truth of what is timeless and quietly powerful. This artwork invites viewers to pause, reflect and reconnect with the enduring beauty that lies just beyond the visible.
Ben Sheppee is a London-based graphic and fine artist whose work explores communication, identity and linguistic diversity through typographic abstraction. By deconstructing written systems and introducing deliberate errors, Sheppee reveals aesthetics born of disruption. Sheppee uses an archive of over 300 alphabets. The practice reflects cultural syncretism and challenges boundaries of verbal expression. In Polyglot , Ben Sheppee presents a generative system that releases random characters from more than 300 global alphabets, producing grids of glyphs that unfold into an evolving tapestry of written expression. By showcasing the diversity of human scripts, the work celebrates cultural richness while reflecting on the fragility of language in an increasingly globalised world.
Becky Sweet is a Welsh artist who combines textiles, technology and performance to create kinetic works. Her practice explores the impermanence of the body and personal struggles with existential anxiety. Using humour as a coping tool, she addresses themes of death, illness and mortality through a theatrical lens, reframing death as motivation and celebration while inviting viewers to confront and play with their own anxieties. This kinetic textile artwork channels Becky Sweet’s ‘egg-istential’ anxiety by blending humour with reflections on the body and the fragility of life. Cellular and fluid forms are echoed and exaggerated in the textures, balancing playful iconography with the profound materiality of the egg as a potential source of life.
