Jonas Wood

Jona Wood is well known for his depictions of everyday scenes and objects. He was inspired by the disconnected angles and planes of cubism and so uses odd views for his artwork. He starts off with photographic bases and then goes on to layer different perspectives into the artwork giving an almost abstract atmosphere to his work.

Phillip Geiger

Phillip Geiger depicts scenes of everyday life with his family. His use of loose brushwork and colour give a calm and peaceful effect on the viewer. His work tells us focus on and appreciate the calm and mundane moments and events in life. His work is simplistic yet says a lot about peoples misplaced priorities. The simple and seamingly unimportant moments in life are the ones we look back on when remembering loved ones and so must be treasured. Geiger immortalizes these moments in his artwork
