―Born in 1981, Jessica Tremp grew up in Switzerland before

moving to Melbourne at the age of 18. She brought with her a

love for theatrics, romanticism and nature and has started

combining these with her growing passion for the art of

photography a few years ago. She uses herself as a model in

most of her images and prefers an organic, spontaneous and

naturally lit approach to shooting.

She hopes her work may lead you into a world filled with drama,

where she tries to tug at your heart strings or into a world of

imagination and humor. She draws inspiration from Blues music,

a bowl of spaghetti eaten alone, hugs, fights, the animal

kingdom, uncomfortable social experiences, daydreaming of

running with the wolves and from ‗that thing‘ that we all feel is

there but can never quite put words to, aiming to create an

emotional authenticity with her work rather than a literal

accuracy.‖ http://mickfineart.com/artists/jessica-tremp/

Dame Paula Rego, DBE (born 26 January 1935), is a Portuguese-born visual artist who is particularly known for her paintings and prints based on storybooks. Rego‘s style has evolved from abstract towards representational, and she has favoured pastels over oils for much of her career. Her work often reflects feminism, coloured by folk-themes from her native Portugal. Rego studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and was an exhibiting member of the London Group, along with David Hockney and Frank Auerbach. She was the first artist-in-residence at the National Gallery in

London. She lives and works in London.

Aziz + Cucher have worked in many media including digital photography, video installation, sculpture, and textiles. They were among the first to use Adobe Photoshop in the context of fine art photography. The resulting series of images (1992–2002) can be seen as a commentary and reflection on the relationship between the human body and the technological forces that shape our society. In later projects (2003–2006), which grew to include video installation, their concerns shifted towards the way that our perception of nature and the landscape had been augmented

and modified by technological mediation. Beginning in 2006, Aziz + Cucher embarked on the creation of a new body of work that looks at the landscape from a decidedly more historical and political perspective stemming from their own family connections to the middle east. The Dystopia series (1994-95) This is probably Aziz + Cucher‘s most widely known work which consists of large digitally manipulated portraits in which the orifices—eyes, mouth and nostrils—have been covered by a layer of skin. The intention was to suggest an evolutionary change signifying the loss of individuality in the face of advancing technology and the progressive disappearance of face-to-face, direct interaction.

―Growing up between forests and cornfields, Lissy

Laricchia became involved with photography at

around 13 years old. Since then she has been

creating levitation imagery and juxtaposing

themes to the fullest content of her heart. Having

never studied photography as an art form, Lissy

sets high standards for herself and pursues them

with a vengeance. Believing that photography

should be created out of emotion, rather than

technicality, her images often depict humans

juxtaposed in various locations and positions to

tell a story.‖

UK based artist Hush draws influence from graphic novels,

animation and the evanescent quality of street art. Hush's

mix of crazy anime inspired characters and pop-infused

imagery creates a fascinating commentary on urban

culture and has been described as Urban Abstract Pop.

Hush originally trained as a graphic designer and illustrator

at Newcastle School of Art andDesign for 5 years. His love of

street art goes back to his youth, when he did a bit of graffiti

in his formative years and made posters for rave/dance

nights, "I've always been interested in how graffiti was being

reintroduced and how it was influencing styles and fonts,

but never really being accepted as its own art form"
