Heather Agyepong Bio:
Heather is a British Ghanaian visual artist, Nikon Ambassador, performer/actor and maker who lives and works in London. Her art practice is concerned with mental health and wellbeing, invisibility, the diaspora and the archive. She uses both lens-based practices and performance with an aim to culminate a cathartic experience for both herself and the viewer. She adopts the technique of re-imagination to engage with communities of interest and the self as a central focus within the image. Heather’s work is critically acclaimed, and she was recently selected as an exhibiting artist for the Taylor Wessing Photo Prize 2023.
LUAP bio:
LUAP is a British multidisciplinary artist born in 1982. Central to LUAP's artistic practice is "The Pink Bear", a cherished remnant of childhood memory, resurrected through sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). It is a figure which encapsulates the spectrum of human encounters. "The Pink Bear" metamorphoses into a vessel for voyages of revelation and investigation. Acting as a creative conduit, "The Pink Bear" integrates into a variety of mediums, spanning hyper-realistic oil paintings, performances, sculpture, and photography. LUAP's work defies easy categorization, blending elements of Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Hyperrealism.
