If you're hunting for some special pieces of art for your home but don't know where to start, Scarlett Colicci is the woman to call.

Colicci - an artist herself, who practises under the name of Scarlett Bowman - is the founder of Projects on Walls, a bespoke service which sources and curates unique pieces of art for your home, all tailored to your tastes and interior scheme.

Projects on Walls is run from a salon-style gallery space at cool London interiors hub Edition 94, where Colicci hosts a constantly revolving array of young emerging artists working across all mediums, from painting and drawing to weaving and photography.

In the first of a new monthly series, we asked Colicci to pick the artists she's got her eye on this month.

Lee Johnson

Lee Johnson

Lee works primarily in oil paint across many genres from his studio, from figurative to still life.

Taking inspiration from his everyday surroundings, Lee rarely does any preparatory sketches, preferring instead to launch straight into the canvas. I recently installed a larger than life abstract female in a client's dining area and I absolutely love the chaotic energy and playfulness it brought to the room.

Lee has this way of capturing people in various scenarios that is full of intrigue and holds your attention. His use of colour is abundant, and as a big fan of colour myself, these never fail to light up any room.

Cyrus Mahboubian

Cyrus Mahbouhian

Cyrus is a British-Iranian photographer who works in the medium of Polaroid. Preferring to shoot in black and white and taking much of his inspiration from landscapes, his miniature sized photographs are highly visceral and contemplative. His intentionally slow process of making the work can be seen as a response to the increasing amount of technology in our everyday lives.

Cyrus Mahbouhian

We currently have a series of his landscapes at the Gallery (94 Fulham Road) and more can be seen in the entrance stairwell to Soho House's Greek Street.

Celia Cook

Celia Cook

Celia graduated from The Royal College of Art in 1989 with an MA in painting. I love how her work is instantly recognisable with its playful use of form, colour and shape.

My favourite works are her woodcut series with Cine Colle on paper, they command your attention, appearing both fragile and defiant at the same time. I installed two of these in a recent project in Hampstead.

Scarlett Bowman

Annie Noble

Scarlett Bowman is a visual artist whose work incorporates painting, sculpture and installations.

Her current series of paintings uses various parts of painted canvas that are cut up and embroidered together to form large patchwork pieces.

Highly tactile, her recent work is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic Wabi-sabi, and its approach to Boro textiles, where nothing is discarded and every piece gets recycled into something else.

Bowman's work will be on show at A Room Of One's Own at The Koppel Project Central from 15th March - 13th April.

Arts picks of the week: 25th February-3rd March
