Introducing the wonderful work of Jim Sanders.
-
@sansjimsanders
-
Jim Sanders is the creator of Brighton’s Spirit House and uses a variety of media to create large scale installations, interiors and immersive environments.
Inspired by Nature, the work is imbued with a powerful significance, referencing a vast range of visual languages and anthropological connections to pull the past into the present and frame the essential questions of existence.

Working intuitively with found objects and fabrics, his installations are monumental, often taking the form of altars or shrines, to be used for the transportive purposes of ritual and celebration. Each element brings its unique history and identity, contributing to a strangely potent state of being.

Sanders’ work is created in an instinctual manner and has often been exhibited under the banner of Brut, Outsider, or Singular Art.

Born in Solihull, West Midlands, Sanders has worked as a full-time artist since 2001, exhibiting widely in the UK, Europe and North America.

Introducing Jasper Goodall @jaspergoodall
-
His practice, whilst photographic, is rooted in the imaginary; using the natural landscape as source material spaces are altered either through the use of artificial light, physical intervention or reconstruction of natural elements to make a photograph. This alteration transforms real spaces into ‘make believe’ places.

Photography is a step in a broader process; often one involving the creation of physical objects or scenes that exist only temporarily. Their function is to serve as subject matter – props – for the finished image. This is not a documentary practice; it is more like imaginative image construction.

Goodall’s photography eschews the picturesque, instead reimagining the landscape as an eldritch narrative, exploring the tension between the beauty of the natural world and a sense that its mysteries have the potential to swallow us up. Each scene is an attempt to articulate stillness and solitude, whilst drawing attention to a sense of the quiet, abiding presence of the natural world.
-

This current body of work is Where once we stood a Scragged Oak Hill a project using the remnants of felled trees to build ‘forest figures.’ These talismanic forms act as a symbolic embodiment of the trees that have now gone – an arboreal haunting.

The Forest Figures draw, albeit indirectly, on older symbolic traditions—specifically animistic belief systems and European folk representations of nature. Figures such as the Green Man or the Woodwose embodied a personified, often unruly natural world – beings that blurred the boundary between human and landscape. While not literal depictions of these mythic forms, the Forest Figures can be understood as a contemporary reimagining of that impulse: to give shape to nature as an active, sentient force – they act as a witness to their surroundings.

The project’s title refers to the location of the first figure: Scragged Oak Hill, where a grove of mature hemlock trees once stood and were subsequently felled providing the catalyst and material for the first figure in this series.

Introducing the incredible work of Scott Knight
-
Scott Knight, Aka Skot Biscuit. @skotbiscuit

Scott Knight has been carving for almost half a century now, Often carving skulls, not for the macabre, but for the mirror they offer. He carves various materials from the natural to the industrial.

The artist states ‘My skull carvings are portraits of lives once lived, I don’t see them as morbid or dead, I see them as human beings in their eternal form. We wear faces, I whittle them down to their essence. I carve as a way of studying what endures,
Wood, stone, teeth, amber and bone each carry their own memory. I work with the material’s natural forms, growth rings, fractures, cracks, and holes, leaving them as nature created them. Everything I carve already exists beneath the surface, I merely uncover what was always there’.

The pieces in this exhibition reflect my two greatest passions: Memento Mori skull craft and the Neolithic stone traditions of my ancestors. I have spent decades exploring these worlds and the human response to my art in this modern world fascinates me most.

My Art is based around the study of natural and tactile shapes, focusing on form and function in nature. I find the pieces that we leave behind deeply fascinating, the bones, the stones, the pieces of us that are the essence of Humanity. Art and Bones may be all that remains when all else has passed.

For our Mark of the Isle show, each participating artist was asked to provide us with a stone or item that held personal meaning for them. Here they are, along with a description of each one.
Show open until 22 November.

Gorsdama by Oakley Lamerton, plus a peek at one of the artist’s originals, Adthar.
-
Gorsdama is a new print by Lamerton, produced for our Marks of the Isles exhibition. Printed as a limited edition of 33, each comes signed and numbered by the artist.

Adthar is a stunning small original ink and watercolour on paper. Visit our website to discover more beautiful pieces by the artist.
Both pieces form part of the artist’s fantasy storytelling and come from their rich background in writing and narrative art.
Lamerton’s work is a distinctive blend of classic illustration with a traditional feel, rooted in medieval illuminations, fantasy, and surrealism.

Marks of the Isles

The Celtic Isles have been inhabited by many different cultures and tribes over thousands of years. The impact they have had on our society and creative work can be seen throughout this land. With no written language left behind by many of the native peoples, we rely on the marks, objects, and stories they created and on the people today who dedicate their lives to retelling and reimagining those stories through their work.

We invite you to experience some of this work at our gallery from 17 October to 22 November.

Bird-food 9 by Laurence Watchorn
-
This piece contains elements characteristic of the artist’s distinctive portfolio. Some of Watchorn’s script or font-like markings can be seen, almost rune-like in their form. References to early rock carvings from the isles’ archaeological past are also depicted within the canvas.
As with all of the artist’s work, we are guided through this wonderfully vibrant and engaging piece on a journey of discovery, where forms and marks unite in harmony, transporting us to another realm.

Totum Box, Red Devil and Green Man by Alex Binnie. Painted wooden boxes and one colour screen prints available now online.
-
Introducing Alex Binnie. @abinniepaperandskin
-
Alex Binnie is a highly regarded British artist and tattooist, best known for his influential role in shaping contemporary tattoo culture in the UK. Emerging from the alternative art and music scenes of the 1980s and 90s, Binnie became a pioneering figure through his iconic London studio, Into You, where he helped shift tattooing from subculture to respected art form. Alongside his tattoo practice, Binnie has developed a distinctive body of fine art, including woodcuts, lino prints and painted works that draw on anatomical studies, tribal influences and his background in printmaking. His work blends graphic boldness with traditional craft, reflecting deep research into body, form and culture. Today, Binnie continues to exhibit internationally and remains a significant figure in both contemporary printmaking and the evolution of modern tattoo art in Britain.

Pictish Warrior Woman, Pictish Warrior Man and Cernunnos God by Treubhan. One colour screen print available now online.
-
Introducing Treubhan. @treubhan
-
The artist continues the process begun by artists of the Celtic Revival era, creating work that is deeply rooted in the past. Drawing from carved stones, illuminated manuscripts, and historic pattern making, his pieces carry forward a visual language shaped by centuries of cultural tradition. The result is work that remains connected to its origins while speaking clearly to the present.
-
I started learning how to draw Celtic patterns when I was about five years old in school. In 2008 I picked up an old book on Celtic art in the library which inspired me to start tattooing, and I began creating tattoos from it. Since then, I’ve worked in many different styles and spent most of my career travelling to learn from other cultures. All of that has made me realise how important Celtic art is to me, and now I put all my energy into reviving it and giving it its rightful place alongside the other great tribals.

Marks of the Isles, 17 October - 15 November.

Our Isles have been inhabited by many different cultures and tribes over thousands of years. The impact they’ve had on our society and creative work can be seen across this land. With no written language left behind by many of the native peoples, we rely on the marks, objects and stories they created, and on the people today who dedicate their lives to retelling and reimagining those stories through their work.

Today, there is a renewed interest in the deeper layers of cultural identity. Artists, historians and makers are once again engaging with the visual languages of the past, exploring how they continue to shape our sense of who we are. This exhibition treats those marks not as historical curiosities, but as part of an ongoing conversation, one that links ancestry with contemporary creativity.

This show looks to bring together a group of artists whose work reflects that dialogue. Each draws from the material and symbolic language of the Isles in a distinct way, using it as a foundation for new ideas and new forms of making. Together, they show how the past continues to shape the present.

We invite you to see some of this work here at Whistleblower gallery.

Macbeth by Ludvig
–
Ludvig is an artist and music maker from London, now based in Brighton, UK. His work is raw, expressive, and loose. A ‘dirty’ style that welcomes incidental elements and serendipity into each piece. Whether on the street, in your ears, or on a gallery wall, his style is distinctive and entirely his own.
Welcome to the world of Ludvig. Find him here at the Whistleblower Gallery.
