The High Road: Unframed

Benjamin Allen

Artist

Benjamin Allen is an illustrator whose work explores the realms of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. With a
passion for storytelling, Ben transforms portraits into vivid characters that feel both fantastical and
deeply personal. His work invites viewers to dive into worlds where imagination reigns and the
boundaries between reality and fantasy fade away.
At the heart of Ben’s creative process is his love of words. Ben often draws inspiration from text,
integrating words from magazines, found materials, and even the world around him into his
illustrations. Every phrase, sign, or snippet of conversation holds a potential story that Ben weaves
into his art, adding layers of meaning to his characters.

Abubakar Akram

Artist

Abubakar Akram’s inventive practice explores space and dimensionality, with a focus on sculptural
forms that emerge organically through an experimental process.

Using materials such as bamboo sticks, Modroc, wire, cardboard, and paint, Abubakar constructs
bold, tactile structures. His work is characterised by solid colours, grid-like patterns, and intersecting
lines, often echoing the strong architectural shapes and geometries that inspire him. There is a
constant dialogue between precision and play in his sculptures, as they evolve organically in
response to the materials and the process, revealing a unique tension between structure and
spontaneity.

Iffah Amaiouda

Artist

Iffah creates layered, multi-media pieces that often resemble otherworldly landscapes. Essential to
her approach is a bounty of sensory materials and paint. These materials are manipulated across
surfaces using a variety of tools to pour and make marks.

With the passage of time Iffah’s work builds in texture and depth, with sedimentary patterns, and
shining details. When you look at her pieces it’s important to consider the sounds and textures of
what you see; the sounds of a pen on a rough surface or the sound of beads rattling in a cup.

Mohammed Imran Khan

Artist

Mohammed Imran Khan works with a variety of materials, carefully considering the surface,
placement and pattern he creates.

With a strong sense of colour and form he works abstractly shaping blocks of colour. His work is
dynamic, with full body movement often informing his larger pieces. Mohammed Imran Khan often
works into the surface of paintings to strip back through layers of paint to complete larger works or
series of smaller works.

Ajanthan Jeevan

Artist

Ajanthan Jeevan creates vibrant, abstract sculptures that explore texture, form, and the dynamic
relationships between materials. His work is an intricate fusion of colour and texture, incorporating
layers of textiles, string, pom poms, and other materials into multi-dimensional forms that evoke a
sense of movement and depth.

Ajanthan’s sculptures range from geometric to organic, inviting the viewer to experience their lively
energy from all angles. The layers of fabric, threads, and soft, tactile elements intertwine and
interact, and the result is an expressive, almost sculptural collage that blurs the boundaries between
traditional craft and contemporary art.

Daniel Seneviratne

Artist

Daniel Seneviratne is a painter and illustrator, whose practice evolves from the relationships between
space, colour and scale.

In much of his work he arranges found objects and images to create new compositions, outlining
them or filling them in with his signature rainbow palette. He creates text based pieces in a similar
manner using words that reference the time that the pieces are made
