Nous Vous

Nous Vous (born 2006) is an artists collective based in Leeds, they are Jay, Nic, Tom and Will. As well as working as a creative collective each member of the group exhibits and produces their own work. They have been known to curate local shows and zines.

They work, most of the time within two dimensions (unless it's screen printing on totebags) illustrating and painting, taking part in the production of zines, posters (promoting either projects they are involved in or other events around leeds), cards, CD cover art and book art.

Nous Vous are expanding comericaly into the contemporary zine and illustrative market and with their personal interests in music they seem to be developing to supply some of the music industries needs...

On the other hand here is an example of their personally motivated work, but when you do look through their works and website you find that their work now seems alot more commecialy based.

Who can blame them? With no independent income the reality of working on personal or collective goals for any start up artist/s seems impossible. Working with big organiseations like leeds City Counsil and supporting The Art Market Leeds seems a logical step in their carrers towards the goal of future exhibitions.

Exhibiting with The Contemporary Art Society as part of their 'Rotate' exhibition is a step in that particular direction.
