 To make the innocent and beautiful dark, to find soul in stark, geometric swashes - somewhere beneath the acrylic, emulsion and spray paint grins Remi/Rough. South London, UK born and bred (circa 1971), Remi Morgan has been breaking boundaries and messing up heads for the past 24 years. Transcending the traditional and somewhat idealised vision of a graffiti writer, the celebrated artist is passionate and unforgiving in his creative progression.
As part of the abstract Ikonoklast Movement of the 90s or his role in supporting the evolution of the UK graffiti art scene throughout the decade prior. Or as a visual consultant for Red Bull and Nike. He is a proud graffiti writer, artist, illustrator, designer, art director, curator, musician and loving partner and father.
On the 1st August 2008 Remi/Rough held court at London's Tate Modern. As part of the Tate's Street Art exhibition and series, he was invited to talk on the underground history of UK graffiti in front of a sell-out auditorium. His deep rooted personal gallery relationships date back to the murky days of 1989 when he unveiled his debut art show and has since gone on to see his work exhibited All City, All Global. London to Paris, Perth, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Berlin, Hamburg, Strasbourg, Edinburgh and Ibiza.

Heavily influenced by the Underground Press Syndicate, the Fluxus movement, propaganda and the manipulation of information. Zoot's work is a feast of typography, misinformation and surreal, grainy halftones. Focusing mainly on print making, specifically silk screening and working on pretty much anything other than canvas, Zoot experiments with mixed media and found surfaces to create a depth of colour and texture, overlaying appropriated text and subverted imagery.
With roots in the street art scene and a portfolio of previous art, design and animation work; Zoot has been producing both public paintings/installations and studio based gallery work for over a decade, constantly developing his technique and mastering as many new media as possible, producing a unique and unmistakeable style.

At the heart of much of Sola’s work is a fascination with Quantum Physics, the Cosmos and the sciences along with the exploration of mind. The intention is to create a mindful state within the viewer that encourages them to step back from reality and accept and explore the forms before them. His work is deeply rooted in using light as the raw material and starting point of the image making process and the subsequent exploration of its form and function. Photography is his medium of choice, as without the photographic film or digital sensor, these highly ephemeral time based images cannot exist.
Staying true to analogue practices, all images, whether studio or location, are created in camera and a working practice of absolutely no digital "manipulation" in post-production is strictly adhered to - in short, what he shoots is what you see.
