Suburban Utopia, An Infertile Place (SU4IP)
Lyndon Watkinson


Lyndon Watkinson (1999) is an artist, designer, writer, and musician based in Sheffield, UK. Democratising art and art context through artworks, publications, graphic design, articles, and sound. Creative director and founder of the online arts organisation SU4IP. His work is characterised by a desire for precision, often depicting aesthetics that celebrate and criticise the absurdity of corporatized identity, calling into question the necessity of creating false exteriors when what is not seen is often just as important.

In late 2020, a blog post entitled Suburban Utopia, An Infertile Place formed part of the wider inquiry and development of his practice for his bachelor's degree in fine art. As his work matured, he applied this term as a formalisation of his creative endeavours, later abbreviating it to SU4IP, now used as a digital alias and publishing entity.

How Artists Make Decisions
Buy    Watch

Understanding how we work is essential in our endeavour to be more compassionate, understanding, and successful beings. The secret between audience and artist has long been shrouded by verbose body texts and unprecise interviews. In How Artists Make Decisions, the mechanisms, reasoning, and intention behind art practice are rationalised into diagrams with the intention of portraying the inner workings of a creatives mind, and by extension the human condition.

Inside are 12 examples of this method, complete with descriptive wording, use cases, and unique names. These will offer explainations about how artists make work, and what processes are involved between the accumulation of inspiration, and the execution of the final piece.

By explaining these processes in a new format, we hope to bring the reader closer to the individuals behind art, and establish a commonality between those who create, and those who engage with those creations, with the ultimate aim of strengthening the bonds between all individuals, irrespective of their pursuits.
