Thursday, December 5th, 2019Hatitze Achmet
Thursday, December 5th, 2019Hatitze Achmet has been living and working in Manchester since 2018. She was born and raised in Greece. Between 2011-2017 she lived in Istanbul, where she studied painting at the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. During and after her studies she took part in a number of group exhibitions and workshops.
In 2016 after her graduation, she was hosted at the “One year in the Passage” project for young artists in Istanbul. In the period of 2017-2018 she worked on her ‘OLYMPOS’, ‘BOTANICAL GARDENS’, ‘REFLECTIONS’ and ‘CONNECTIONS’ series.
Her latest works are the ‘Reflections’ and ‘Connections’ projects. Hatitze aims to reflect what she gets from the world around her. We see a confusing scene in her canvases and chaotic city plans on her paper works. We can see only some parts of the people, things, nature or city which are depicted in her works.
Beside her basic practice on oil painting she is practicing on linocut printing. Her interest is concentrated on the surfaces, the textures and the materials which she uses each time.

Dave Draws
Thursday, December 5th, 2019Dave Draws is a freelance artist and illustrator who specialises in doodle maps of cities and large scale wall murals.
Dave works predominantly in black and white with abstract patterns surrounding detailed illustrations of buildings and other objects. Dave lived in Berlin before he moved to Manchester where he
exhibited some of his more abstract doodle pieces. It was whilst he was out there that someone told him that his work looked like a city from above. This put the idea in Dave’s head of drawing quirky versions of
cities from above. Dave moved to Manchester and did just that, drawing Manchester from above and selling prints on his online shop. These maps have proved to be very popular and Dave has now drawn many cities including Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, London and York.
Dave also specialise in large scale murals where using his trusty posca pens he transfers doodle maps onto wall’s. turning blank white walls into bespoke maps. Dave’s past clients include Channel 4, Unilad, Innside New York, Manchester Arndale, Urban Bubble, CBRE and ITV.
if you are interested in a commission or a doodle map of your own then please get in touch!
Felicity Meachem
Thursday, December 5th, 2019FELICITY MEACHEM
Felicity Meachem is a contemporary British artist. Shortly after completing her BA in Fine Art Painting at the University of Brighton in 2018, she has moved to pursue her practice, now based in Manchester. She has since been awarded Runner Up of the Graduate Art prize 2018 for her painting ‘I’m Alright, Hiding Tonight’ and has had selected work in the Manchester Open Exhibition 2020.
Burgeoning with an overload of pattern, Meachem’s work celebrates the use of the decorative within contemporary Fine Art Painting. While pattern can still signify twee, kitsch, and the feminine, she believes that with the right use of decoration in painting it can be evocative and empowering. Her paintings depict dreamscapes made of collaged Images. Figures are suspended in an indefinite psychedelic space, reminiscent of the BFG floating and tumbling about in his phiz-whizzing dream country.
