Mike Cockrill: has been making conceptually engaged, socially challenging work since his first exhibitions in Brooklyn and the East Village in the early 1980s.

Classically trained at PAFA, he employs a deep understanding of visual idioms that he deftly twists. His art is ever evolving: often playing the unnerving against the sublime. He lives and works in Brooklyn. mikecockrill.com

Barry Britton: was born and bred in County Donegal. He is a self taught artist and has spent most of his life in his native Rossnowlagh, close to its magnificent golden strand creating and surfing to his hearts content. A few years were spent in exile in Dublin in the 1970s where a promising career in architecture beckoned. However, by 1978, he made good his escape from the big city and put in the foundations for a home on his father’s farm in Rossnowlagh. He is still there today designing posters for surfing events.
