The Goss Brothers hail from Bristol, England. Whilst their home town continues to grow its reputation as a centre for art and music the brothers have taken their striking works further afield and have exhibited worldwide in New York, Berlin, Amsterdam and more recently, Taipei. Following a successful collaboration with Folk in 2017, this year sees the delivery of another collection featuring works from Nick and Phil based on the tragic and captivating story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
