Art Bank

Playful - assuming a position as iconoclasts our practice is both research based and instinctive. We adopt one of arts’ main tenets that in order to create one must disrupt. We approach mark making as a violent act in which a line drawn with a pencil shares the same values as a brick thrown through a window. We aim to steer a course along a corridor of uncertainty, between engagement and entertainment.

We enjoy irony and pastiche just as much as the next man and revel as much in complexity as in the brutality of the one line joke. And whilst as often as not it is satire and wit that float to the surface pathos usually lurks just beneath.

Oh yeah, and we make stuff and curate shows together, 'we' being helen grundy and paul johnson.
