Visual Artist

Mayumi Yamase is an artist living and working in Tokyo. Her work whether a drawing, a painting or in 3D-form is composed of colours and organic forms. How the space is occupied with these colours and shapes helps to unfold unexpected forms organically grown like a plants and living like organs and a unique dialogue between them.   Mayumi has exhibited pieces in London, Singapore and numerous times in throughout Japan alongside commissioned work for Comme des Garçons.

Angharad Hengyu Owen loves language – the significance and insignificance of meaning. Endlessly intrigued by the idea of an intrinsic layer of storytelling through typography: The process of a visual interpretation to create an honest emotional imprint. This growing focus was seeded by a multicultural upbringing and a fascination for multilingual semantics, as well as a genuine curiosity towards human nature.
