Zuzka Due to shyness and the inability to take opportunities Zuzka has no artistic achievements worth noting. Slyart wants to change that cos she’s really good. All her work is owned privately on her iPad that she may share on an odd Instagram post for friends to see. The recent transition to digital art has greatly impacted her capability to finish a piece, as the traditional paper medium was less forgiving of mistakes and doesn’t come with an “EDIT-UNDO”. So far she spilt wine on a drawing that was nearly finished, realised halfway through a drawing that the composition isn’t right, the dog ate it, or it straight up ran away into the abyss. She would like to think her inspiration is old school sci-fi posters, dramatized Renaissance poses, Greek sculptures and blunt honesty. Leda and the swan. “Leda and the Swan is a story and subject in art from Greek mythology in which the god Zeus, in the form of a swan, seduces or rapes Leda” - Wikipedia Zeus liked the way Leda looked, transformed himself into a magnificent swan and played out a scenario of being chased down by a hawk to get close to her. (Unsure why he couldn’t have just got close as a swan minding their own business, but I’m guessing dramatic effect.) After he seduces/rapes her in swan form she then beds her husband the same night, Tyndareus , King of Sparta. From those two unions, she produced two eggs, from which four offsprings were born. Helen (of Troy) and Polydeuces, two children of Zeus and Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband. The fame of her offsprings far outweighed that of her own. In her depiction of Leda Zuzka chose to go with the narrative that she was forced, not seduced. There’s very little mention of her story after the birth of her children. She likes to imagine the image is self-explanatory but it contains various references to issues that affect her and may affect you too. There’s a self-help book that forms part of the picture Zuzka says there’s nothing wrong with small tits but there’s also no problem being insecure about them either and what matters is she’s being proactive about it.

It is likely that Juan Sly has become the biggest seller of original artworks in the UK. An artist exhibiting in mainly spray stencils and oils. He has exhibited at the Saatchi (a proper gallery with pillars and everything!) alongside the likes of Banksy, Terry O'Neil, Tracy Emin and Vic Reeves and now has a permanent collections in Germany, Detroit and the Uk, alongside Damien Hirst and some other artists you might of heard of plus private collections around the globe. His works rock from humour to anti-war, sex to surreal. Particularly fond of the stencil medium as it allows him to quickly respond to events and ideas and gives the work that gritty illegal look. The stencils naturally allow the works to be resprayed and so become affordable and disposable. He likes the fact that people can buy art that they like and not to show off how much they can afford. You can find them in bedsits, legal offices in the Temple or stuck to a fence in Bristol. Spiel by Steeve
