Andy Buclaw vs. Jean Dubuffet
The Busy Life
Genre: Experimental/Electronica
I was inspired because... Because it reminds me of modern life and the way the city never sleeps.
TRON
Genre: Electro
I was inspired because... I feel our piece mirrors the futurist elements of the painting. Also explosive light from darkness is a strong theme in our music.
Yunga Stoney vs. Emil Nolde
kLaX BeaT
Genre: Grime/ Garage/ Other
I was inspired because... It is rich in energy. Expresses potential. Has a sense of tension within the picture.

I was inspired because... Simplicity and dense layering used in conjunction with each other. Like to think thats how my music works aswell
The 3rd Fire vs. Carl Andre
Venus Forge

I was inspired because... …of the aesthetic nature of the piece,; the unusual, challenging form of expression; the ability (not need) to be different.
Billy Prince Brown vs. Wilhelm Sasnal

I was inspired because... it rolled that way;the colours &the feeling of being together,walking with all those wonderful crazy animals &stars.Recorded in a friend's garage-he played percussion on the back of his guitar joe
Hometown Heroes vs. Pablo Picasso
In This Life
Genre: Indie/Rock
I was inspired because... As the song 'In This Life' is about breaking boundaries I feel this artwork reflects the lyrical ideas we put across.
Little Scratch vs. Robert Rauschenberg
We Should Of Been Ourselves
Genre: New Rock
I was inspired because... Hard to say, I like Rauschenberg's work in general. Something about it caught my eye.
Trojans Valentine vs. Clyfford Still
Noahs Disco
Genre: Alternative/Ambient
I was inspired because... This piece gave the off the exact opposite feeling that my music gives. This strong emotion challenged and inspired me.
Johnny Dee Pop vs. Sir Eduardo Paolozzi
What Will Be Will BE
Genre: POP
I was inspired because... I stood up and fell backwards knocking the chair towards the door. The door slamed shut and made the vase on the shelf fall and small on the floor and when I looked at it, it looked like the picture.
