Ruary Allen | TRAVELLING TEMPLE OF THE ARTS

Ruary Allan is originally from Edinburgh, Scotland where he talked to “invisible” friends and rode small dinosaurs. From an early age he listened to Mike Oldfield and prog rock so much that he almost forgot puberty. He spent an entire summer on an exchange trip to Middle Earth and then got into Dungeons and Dragons which was really cool cause they had all the Platonic solids for dice. He also joined The Boy Scouts, a secret society founded to see how much blood could be removed from the bodies of children by midges. Ruary received an education, apparently, as the University of St. Andrews awarded him a degree in geology, much to his surprise. This led to a year mud-logging on North Sea oil rigs, which evoked for him gigantic mosquitoes, draining the very blood of the Earth.

For much of the 90s he lived Oakland (Oaksterdam), California where he got radical, went to Burning Man a lot and continued working with dirt and pollution. He also brought oil paint into his mix of materials, enjoying publication of his art and some good shows with some notable artists. After a spell living in a cookie factory prone to very large parties, there was five quasi-exotic years in Tokyo, one rather bad one in Barcelona and extensive adventure travel on the cheap before he came back to UK (or Blighty as he still likes to call it) in 2013. He found a relatively soft landing in Glastonbury (the town not the festival) which is not more strange than anywhere else he’s been.

Inspired by nature and psychedelic culture, Ruary has been inexorably drawn to express his inner vision. He didn’t know he could do it. His visual pilgrimage focuses on the use of colour, chaos and spatiality to recreate worlds of the imagination, symbolic mindscapes mediated by free association. His work has appeared in various galleries and juried art festivals in the US, Japan, Thailand and Europe, on CD covers, in alternative magazines and on too many party flyers to count. Ruary is currently represented by Heart of the Tribe Gallery in Glastonbury.

Kultiv8ium | TRAVELLING TEMPLE OF THE ARTS

Kultiv8ium explores this bizarre post-truth world with a child-like sense of awe and wonder, creating colourful explosions of rebellious questioning, holding-up a rainbow-splattered black-mirror at societies darker attributes. Poking-the-bear through humour-infused images, filled with pop culture references, thought-provoking quotes, and occultic puzzle pieces; Kult invites the beholder to examine their beliefs through this psychedelic maelstrom of tranquil chaos, cultivating a more humbled approach towards life, embracing diversity, inspiring unity, and spreading love throughout the Omniverse, one picture at a time…

About ten years ago he began doing visionary art and specialises in complex other-worldy scenes rich with detail. He works in pencil, pen, acrylic, digital and has been an early adocate of generative AI over the last 3 years, although he doesnt use it for his own artwork since it’s less satisfying!. His work has appeared on the cover of the Psychedelic Press and he’s spoken about art at the Psychedelic Society. Matt has also been a DJ since 2000 and is part of the Mash101 collective. He’s been coming to Noisily since the second time and is thrilled to be a part of the art gallery.

Jessica Legon – NOISILY ART GALLERY

I’m an illustrator from London who works primarily in dip-pen and ink. In pursuit of satisfying lines and interesting shapes, I like to draw patterns and images that communicate our connection with nature. I am an advocate for the safe and appropriate use of psychedelics, which led me to write and draw a psychedelic harm reduction information colouring book, which I self-published in 2018. This year I self-published my new book, Cannabis: the Ultimate Colouring and Guide Book.
