Mark Vessey’s photographic portraits celebrate icons of our popular culture, his pieces now iconic in their own right. His work evokes eras and snapshots in time that resonate with his audience on an intensely personal level. Shooting with traditional film as opposed to digital technology, Vessey honors what so many of us have in our homes but overlook, holding them up out of the blur of our everyday lives to present them in such a way that we fully engage with the memories they hold in our stories.

Vessey’s artwork has garnered much collector and press attention over his twenty-plus year career. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London; been regularly celebrated in international publications including The Times, The Observer, Creative Review and GQ; enjoyed successful international group and solo shows; and in 2022 followed in the artistic footsteps of David Hockney, Grayson Perry, Chris Offili et al when the prestigious Glyndebourne Opera House commissioned him to create and exhibit works to celebrate their landmark 70th anniversary season. Vessey’s pieces reside in many prestigious collections worldwide and his collaborations with high profile music figures including Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) have further raised his international profile.

Vessey has been under Olivia Connelly’s main representation since 2005.

Jann Haworth is one of the most important female artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. A founding member of the original Pop Art movement and one of its few female contributors, she is best known for her pioneering work with material and soft sculpture and as the co-creator of The Beatles’ iconic Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band album cover for which she won a Grammy in 1968.

Born in Hollywood to distinguished ceramicist and printmaker Miriam
Haworth and Academy Award-winning art director Ted Haworth, Haworth’s childhood was filled with artistic literacy and time spent roaming Hollywood’s film sets and studios. These influences took her from the UCLA to London in 1961 to study at the Courtauld Institute and
the Slade School of Fine Arts, where she and her contemporaries regularly met to discuss their work. “And that,” said legendary British Pop artist Gerald Laing, “is how Pop Art started”.

Haworth focused on 2D and 3D sewn works and soft sculpture, often
referencing her Hollywood upbringing and American pop culture. The donut became one of her signature pieces and her Pop twist on traditional still life. Haworth exhibited at the ICA in London
in 1963 where she came to the attention of the infamous Pop Art dealer Robert Fraser who also represented among others Richard Hamilton, Jim Dine and Andy Warhol. Haworth held three successful solo shows with Fraser to international acclaim, and it was Fraser who introduced she and Peter Blake to The Beatles for the creation of the now legendary Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover. It was Haworth’s idea to create the walk-on set of life-size figures and iconic floral display, and her Old Lady and Shirley Temple figures feature among the ensemble.

Haworth’s rich career has seen her pioneer large public projects such as SLC Pepper and the Dennis Hopper Mural; show with major international galleries such as Mayor Gallery and Gimpel Fils; and at major public institutions worldwide with her contemporary work
and as part of important Pop Art museum retrospectives. Her work resides in prime museum collections including the Tate and MOMA, the most recent acquisition being into the collection of the National
Portrait Gallery in London in 2023 when she was commissioned along with her daughter, Liberty Blake, to create the stunning Work In Progress mural commemorating inspiring historical and contemporary women that now resides in the main atrium of the building.

Gustavo Ortiz is one of the rare contemporary artists with a genuinely original medium, subject and approach. He works in mixed media comprising tiny fragments of hand-cut archival paper with artist’s wax. Classically trained in art, philosophy and art history, Ortiz brings this
background to his striking work that is largely inspired by the myths, legends, and warm textile colours of his native Argentina. So like his chosen medium, his work is a collage of influences.

Executed in intricate detail and often in a square format that evokes ancient icon painting, Ortiz’s style and narrative is often playful and
allows for a beautiful element of abstraction. Seeking to preserve elements of his ancient culture he also proliferates new interpretations
of the stories, their characters, and the human emotions that he conveys. His style has been described by the renowned art historian Tristan Manco as ‘ancient contemporary’ and brims with warmth and charm in both theme and palette, invariably meeting with an equally warm and emotional response from his audience.

Ortiz’s work resides in collections worldwide and he has enjoyed successful group and solo shows in London, Paris, and New York. He was
further selected by Tristan Manco to feature in his Thames and Hudson publication ‘Make Your Mark’ for which he was also selected as the sole cover artist.

Ortiz currently lives and works in London and has been under Olivia Connelly’s main representation since 2009.
