Artist Lavar Munroe infuses his work with a cornucopia of influences and personal experiences, including his Christian upbringing, travel, anthropological research and the trauma of losing his mother as a child. Colourful and visually arresting, his art can also be deeply unsettling. He's not afraid to grapple with darker emotions and often feels compelled to offer critique on societal ills.

Growing up in rural Australia, artist David Noonan sought cultural references in film, many of which went on to inspire his work in later life, including this linen collage in our collection. He is known for combining figurative images with more abstract elements, such as Japanese Boro textiles. He also likes to time-travel, coalescing images from different time periods to create what he calls 'temporal slips.'

At first glance, we see a pretty arrangement of blue flowers that could easily grace a Delft dinner plate, but on closer inspection the print is considerably more complex. Artist Sofia Crespo uses AI to reimagine nature, generating pictures of hybrid life forms. By challenging the boundaries of her imagination, she creates beguiling images based on jellyfish, spiders, and other organisms.
