About

Offshoot Arts is a hybrid gallery and art consultancy based in the UK. We collaborate with a global roster of artists who question and explore universal themes and issues that connect us all; often expressed through highly unusual and innovative materials and techniques.

Our commitment to discovering and nurturing artistic talent is shared via curatorial projects, pop-up exhibitions, collaborations, curated online presentations and private consultancy. We champion artists, connect with audiences and create engaging and accessible creative experiences that challenge and inspire.

Melissa Digby-Bell founded and launched Offshoot Arts in 2020. She has worked in the upper echelons of the contemporary art sector since 2002, following a degree in History of Art at the University of Bristol. Her career began at White Cube, going on to manage the studios of high-profile artists Marc Quinn and Anish Kapoor.

Santiago Montoya Football (Carbon Neutral)

About the Artist

At first sight, the visual impact of Santiago Montoya’s epic work is a vibration of colour, abstraction, meticulous detail and immaculate arrangements that dazzle the viewer. It is only upon close inspection that the artist’s medium is revealed - infinite rows of global bank notes that are methodically and meditatively aligned. In addition to currencies, Montoya’s practice incorporates precious stones, materials and objects to express a multitude of ideas exploring the notion of value. The works generate a discourse on nationalism, commodities and the universal consequences of the production and distribution of wealth.

A brand-new breakthrough series, 'Carbon Neutral', sees the artist incorporate coal and resin, creating a stunning cast of a football on a marble plinth.
