CORPUS ARTISTS AND CONTRIBUTORS 

Grant Colquhoun

Born and residing in Sydney, Australia.  An underpinning of Design education has led Grant to become a versatile Fine Artist, graduating from the renowned National Art School. The graphic quality and boldness detected in his work derives from a love of drawing the figure. Long before Grant understood what the words Design or Art meant he was an avid draughtsman and this is still at the core of his work.  
Grant has participated in two Solo Exhibitions at Mars Gallery, Melbourne and several group exhibitions including the Westpac Charity Auction Artist, Sydney 2015, .M Contemporary Gallery, Sydney 2013, and the Ticino Gallery, Switzerland.

Guy Peppin

​Guy Peppin is a Sydney based interdisciplinary artist and writer who has recently completed his Masters of Fine Arts at Sydney College of the Arts.  Peppin has previously held solo exhibitions at Liverpool Street Gallery as well as internationally, and was a recipient of the Storrier Onslow National Art School Paris Studio Residency in 2010.  Writing and making visual art have both become equally important to his art practice, Peppin’s research initially began as a project to understand the relationship between writing and art making in contemporary art.  Through research into historical and cultural ideas on colour theory he developed a colour wheel based on colour and emotion in order to translate his poetry into a series of chromatic fade artworks.

Naro Pinosa

Naro is a collage and digital artist who lives and works in his native Spain.   His work mixes art history references, contemporary culture and fashion, with a dose of whimsy and, quite often an element of humour.  
Art is divided into stages, styles, trends, movements etc., all in order to understand the world and its certain characteristics.  Contemporary art came to destroy barriers and mix everything and this is how my collages are born.  I use this artistic technique with more than 100 years of history together with art considered classic and elitist, to become something profane.   

Murat Urlali

Murat is a Turkish born Australian artist living and working in Sydney.  George Melly wrote that attempting to define camp was ‘self-defeating’.  Recalling a story about a woman asking Louis Armstrong to define jazz, Armstrong is supposed to have said ‘Lady, if you’ve got to ask, you’ll never know’.  Even when drawing as a child, the girls I drew always had huge bouffant, bee-hive hairstyles.  My cowboys always had big, dark, puppy-like eyes and wore shirts with the longest and most vibrantly golden fronds imaginable.  Camp or what?!?  So today my paintings grow from what Susan Sontag described in her essay ‘Notes on Camp’, as a love of the unnatural, of artifice and of exaggeration; they celebrate exuberance in colour, light and texture, like Sontag’s dress made of three million feathers.

Paul Walker

Paul is a performance artist, choreographer/dancer and life model.  Based in Sydney, Australia, Paul has an interest in presenting dance and movement through visual mediums such as drawing, photography and film.  In February 2013, he and Ivey Wawn founded United Movement, a collective that shifts the role of the model within the life drawing studio to forge bonds between dance and drawing.  
Paul’s performance work looks to explore the subject/object relationships between art object/artist/environment/audience.  In particular, he is currently interested in the body of the artist being a sculptural material, or a vessel that is filled with, and responds to, the environment it is within.
