About Us
Publishing & Design
Lyndon Watkinson (1999) is an artist, designer, writer, and musician based in Sheffield, UK. Democratising art and art context through artworks, publications, graphic design, articles, and sound. Creative director and founder of the online arts organisation SU4IP. His work is characterised by a desire for precision, often depicting aesthetics that celebrate and criticise corporatized identity, calling into question the need for creating false exteriors when what is not seen is often just as important.
In late 2020, a blog post entitled Suburban Utopia, An Infertile Place formed part of the wider inquiry and development of his practice for his bachelor's degree in fine art. As his work matured, he applied this term as a formalisation of his creative endeavours, later abbreviating it to SU4IP, now used as a digital alias and publishing entity.
Curation
Phil McCumskey studied fine arts at Stellenbosch University, but worked as a writer, actor and theatre director for many years before establishing his own video production company in Johannesburg. ‘Now that I'm older, I've re-discovered art, particularly abstract art. Brushes, palette knives, spatulas, paint, canvas, paper – it’s as if I’ve been reunited with old friends.' Phil's work has been exhibited at the Fronteer Gallery in Sheffield and his painting Red Radiance was part of The Artist Lounge’s 50 Shades of Red Exhibition.
His work has been exhibited at Sheffield's Fronteer Gallery, The Badger in the Wall Gallery in Yorkshire, and the Fox Yard Studio in Suffolk. His artwork titled, Connected, was long listed for the D31 Gallery prize.
