<span style="font-family: inherit;">How cool are these! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you've ever come across work by the artist <span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;">Jean-Michel Basquiat then you'll recognise the work on these </span><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;">fabulous</span><span style="letter-spacing: 1px;"> dr martins shoes (they do boots too:) </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“If you wanna talk about influence, man, then you've got to realize that influence is not influence,” he said of his process. “It's simply someone's idea going through my new mind.” Born on December 22, 1960 in Brooklyn, NY, </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Basquiat never finished high school but developed an appreciation for art as a youth, from his many visits to the Brooklyn Museum of Art with his mother. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;">His early work consisted of spray painting buildings and trains in downtown New York alongside his friend </span><a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/al-diaz/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; letter-spacing: 1px;">Al Diaz</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;">. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;">The artist’s tag was the now infamous pseudonym SAMO. After quickly rising to fame in the early 1980s, Basquiat was befriended by many celebrities and artists, including </span><a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/andy-warhol/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; letter-spacing: 1px;">Andy Warhol</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 1px;">, with whom he made several collaborative works. At only 27, his troubles with fame and drug addiction led to his tragic death from a heroin overdose on August 12, 1988 in New York, NY. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #505050; font-size: xx-small;">"In my work this romantic ideal of union with the natural world conflicts with our contemporary impact on the environment. These pieces are in part responses to environmental stressors including climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops. They also borrow from myth, art history, figures of speech and other cultural touchstones. In some pieces aspects of the human figure stand-in for ourselves and act out sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous transformations which illustrate our current relationship with the natural world. In others, animals take on anthropomorphic qualities when they are given safety equipment to attempt to protect them from man-made environmental threats".</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After completing his MA in textile design at the Royal College of Art, Kit Miles formed his own studio, steeped in the values of quality, exquisite draughtsmanship and a futuristic, often surprising use of scale colour and imagery.</span></h2>

One of the most important values at Kit Miles is excellence in quality and draughtsmanship in each and every design.</div>

The studios ability to render fine and at times surrealist imagery have enabled Miles to form a unique language of design, under the core ethos that freedom to evolve and re-form is ever present in the application of marks onto paper.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
The process of hand drawing enables the studio to render an imaginative and ‘super-real’ world into a reality, revealing a glimpse into the ever expanding printed universe of dynamic shapes and images.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Guardian Text Egyptian Web', Georgia, serif;">Tibor Reich, who was born into a Jewish family in Budapest in 1916, escaped Nazi-occupied Vienna for Leeds in 1937, becoming a pioneering interior designer of 1950s and 60s Britain. It was a Reich designed woollen fabric chosen by a young Queen Elizabeth as her wedding present in 1947, and in a career that lasted three decades, his vibrant, deeply textured designs would decorate the interiors of royal palaces, embassies, 10 Downing Street and even the first Concorde.</span><br />

Most people, by the time they reach their 70s, have begun to wind down – at least when it comes to work. But for artist and printmaker Marthe Armitage, her eighth decade was when things really started to get going career-wise. Marthe has been producing her exquisite scenic wallpapers since the 1950s, but it has only been over the past 12 years or so that they’ve truly taken off.</div>

<span style="font-family: "avenir" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 0.75rem;">Inspired by his travels to Asia – particularly Thailand – Kostas’ vibrant world is a reflection of exploding colours and forms. The individual abstract dimensions and characters of the eclectic murals slowly reveal themselves once viewed closer and into focus – continuing to inspire audiences with every new glance.</span><br />

Describing the collection, Kostas explains that ‘Kota lives happily on a magical beach, submerged underwater, looking at life in a positive way’. Kostas portrays the charmed depiction of paradise through his latest textile range consisting of individual art panels which are printed on woven canvas. When hung appropriately, the vivacity of colour entwines, dances and energises the entire mural. Combining to create a positive outlook on life and to represent Kostas’ unique and exuberant style.</div>

<span style="font-size: 0.75rem;">Kostas personal journey into art is an interesting one, too. Originally an architect, Kostas emerged from the Cyprus nightlife as an iconic figure, owning some of the most revered clubs, bars and restaurants. Although architecture remains a large part of his life, his primary passion of the Kota Collection now holds most of his attention. Alongside the new colourful motifs, the Kota Collection includes hand-woven silk carpets, t-shirts and a dinnerware selection. </span></div>

London, England, in 1963. She studied Combined Arts at the Royal Academy of Arts where, while obtaining
her diploma in painting, she was encouraged by fellow artist to develop her
sculpture. Inspired by Picasso, Goya and Henry Moore, she famously developed
the Lady Hare as a counterpart to Ancient Greek mythology's Minotaur. </span><span style="font-family: "anton" , sans-serif;">A fascinating aspect of Sophie Ryder's sculpture is her concern with hybrids; not only the Minotaur, but hares combined with human features. The Lady Hare has occupied her imagination for many years and the human parts are based on the artist's own body. These sculptures have the potential to forge powerful images charged with character and emotion which go well beyond representation.</span></span></div>

Each installation is a metaphysical experience, one that hypnotises the viewer, and that puts the world on hold, a restful and peaceful experience where the viewer is completely absorbed in the repetitive ritual of the artist’s hand and awakens only once the final image appears as a whole. </span><br />
