About Will Teather:
British artist Will Teather is known for creating contemporary images that reveal an adventurous imagination combined with a mastery of traditional skills.
After spending his childhood in rural Norfolk surrounded by religious imagery and books on historical painting, Teather’s knowledge of contemporary art was refined through periods of study in London at Central St Martins and Chelsea College of Art & Design. Teather’s skill as a painter, however, remains largely self-taught through personal experimentation and his close inspection of masterpieces from major museums.

Dan Baldwin says the following about his work 'Storm'
its titled STORM ..more about the feeling of nature, the power of nature, a return to the origins of the dark vs light, force, the sun, moon, the good vs bad, the symbolism of what a storm trooper stands for, the human aspect beneath the helmet and symbol of war, conflict. .

‘Law of the Jungle’, 2016
Mixed Media on fibreglass Stormtrooper helmet
310 x 310 x 325 mm
Price: £4,000
Agnetha Sjogren says the following about her work 'Law of the Jungle'
This helmet is based on the Vintage Comic books 'Tarzan, Apornas son; No.2 & No.23' printed in 1976 and 'Tarzan; No.8' printed in 1979.
The Vibrant colours and paper were the reason I chose to use the Swedish version of the comic. Each strip is relevant and has a reason for being used, for example; on the nose Tarzan is reading a letter from some villians about his missing wife and child.
'The Law of the Jungle' is an expression that means 'every man for himself' 'survival of the fittest' - I believe that the definition of this is very relevant in the state of the world we live in today.
