Dyfrig Peris is a local born artist from Penygroes who studied Fine Art in Cheltenham University after completing his Art Foundation in Bangor, he has recently started a screen-printing company based in Nantlle and will be collaborating with local artists to create limited edition screen prints.

His work is influenced by Japanese animation and comic style storytelling and has done a series of drawings where imaginary landscapes are populated by amorphous characters. This is one of the reasons I selected him as my artist of choice, as my work involves creating complex landscapes dealing with perspective, space and depth, be it with ink on paper or with paint. Also I believe it to be beneficial to our group that we get as many local artists involved, as they’ll have extra desire and determination in making this a success.

From the Wilds of Eastern Tennessee and nurtured in the Big Easy, comes Simeon Coxe the Third. An innovator of Electronic Music and avant garde performance art . His two releases on the Kapp label under the guise of Silver Apples utilized a maelstrom of home made electronic gadgetry, was heralded by the New York Post as “Simple weird magic. It’s pop from outer space”. Yet his influence in the shaping of electronic and Techno forms of music are unquestionable. Not to mention the musical output being a prime example of Performance art and Pop music effortlessly merging together.

Although it may be the Velvet Underground or Elephant Memory that were given the task of entertaining New York’s creative elite in the Factory, Simeon collabortaed with the purveyor of Pop Art in his hey day. So much so Andy Warhol made a print of Simeon, that adorned the cover of one of his later releases.
