Geoffrey Carran391. Geoffrey CarranGeoffrey Carran is a contemporary artist renowned for his vibrant depictions of Australian birdlife. Over the past decade, he has focused on capturing the essence of Australia's avian diversity through both detailed studio paintings and expansive public murals. His work masterfully balances meticulous realism with expressive, looser techniques, bringing each subject to life. Born and raised in New Zealand, Geoffrey completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2000, followed by a Master of Fine Arts at RMIT University in Melbourne in 2008. He subsequently tutored at RMIT University for three years before dedicating himself fully to his artistic practice in 2011.

Notably, he has collaborated with institutions such as the National Gallery of Victoria, for which he produced a design range, and Dulux, serving as a judge for the Dulux Colour Awards and contributing to their Colour Forecasts. In partnership with his wife, fellow artist Rowena Martinich, Geoffrey has created large-scale murals that blend their dynamic styles. A significant project includes the transformation of three grain silos in Goroke, Victoria, into monumental artworks featuring native Australian birds—a kookaburra, galah, and magpie—reflecting the local fauna and engaging the community. Geoffrey's murals often highlight endangered bird species, aiming to raise awareness and foster conversations about conservation. His dedication to portraying the unique personalities of birds serves as a conduit between viewers and the natural world, encouraging a deeper appreciation for Australia's rich biodiversity. Currently based on Victoria's Surf Coast, Geoffrey continues to explore the interplay between detailed realism and expressive techniques in his work, contributing significantly to both urban and regional art landscapes.
LUAP400. LUAPPaul Robinson, also known as 'LUAP,' is a British multidisciplinary artist born in 1982. Originally from Grimsby, LUAP is now based in London and has showcased his work on a global scale. 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. He embodies aspirations and anxieties. An enigmatic personality. He navigates between the surreal, the envisioned, and the corporeal. 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. LUAP's classical practice finds a counterpart in his thirst for adventure. An artist who embraces uncertainty. He travels the world with The Pink Bear. Immersing himself in extreme settings. LUAP pushes the limits of endurance. Weathering extreme conditions and unforgiving landscapes. The final image is the prize. One that provides the fuel and acts as the catalyst for bold series of works. Robinson, stands as a trailblazer in the contemporary art scene. The Pink Bear provokes thought and discussion wherever he goes. Transcending geographical boundaries the bear is one and all. A representation of a shared essence of humanity. Fostering connections and facilitating positive change. The Pink Bear continues to captivate and inspire.
