I am currently teaching Art and Photography to GCSE in a very challenging SEMH secondary special school for students with social, emotional and mental health needs.

In my role as the Director of Artistic I have developed and grown the whole project from base to thriving reality within the last eight years developing 20 artists and Curating 23 increasingly important London based art exhibitions. Including the hugely successful shows of “Thumbnail” “50/50” and “Black.”

We are currently developing a new show which will include 500 artists many who have challenges to overcome as well as many accomplished, recognised artists working together to bring changes to the Art World.

Dean's journey in the creative world took off at Harrow Weald Art College, followed by completing his degree at Oxford Brookes from 2004 to 2007, graduating with a 2/1. Post-graduation, he delved into the realm of advertising at Spirit Advertising Agency from early 2008 to 2009. Despite the allure, Dean realized this wasn't aligned with his long-term aspirations. Transitioning to Meadow High School from 2009 to 2014 as an Art Technician, he found his niche in supporting students with Special Educational Needs, a role he cherished. Joining Artistic thereafter, Dean's artistic prowess shone through as he emerged as one of their top-selling Painters, pioneering innovative fundraising strategies for the non-profit organization across 50 impactful art exhibitions. Currently, at the helm of Studio 34, Artistic's retail hub, Dean is steering towards his upcoming Solo Show scheduled for 2025, along with a myriad of captivating projects on the horizon

Bivek embarked on his artistic journey in the special effects departments at Shepperton, delving into captivating projects that included crafting and demolishing Minotaurs, bringing to life countless singing clams for Alice, and handling numerous deceased bodies for Bands of Brothers. Despite these remarkable feats, Bivek, a talented florist, continuously refines his floral artistry. He spearheaded life drawing classes in London's Soho, nurturing fellow artists with his patience and expertise. Within Artistic, Bivek plays a multifaceted role, exuding warmth and fostering connections with a myriad of artists. His profound observational skills and emotional artwork enrich Artistic's ambiance. Currently, Bivek is meticulously preparing for the unveiling of his inaugural solo exhibition slated for the latter part of 2024 in London. As a remarkable painter who generously supports his peers, anticipation is high within the creative community to reciprocate the support when his exhibition debuts.
