Since 2009, the French-German artist has been living and working in Berlin. While his artistic practice spans accross various mediums Baribeaud favours drawing and painting. Among the artist's diverse sources of inspiration are the great masters of the Italian Renaissance, the world of theatre and film, and the delicate art of Indian miniature paintings. Since 2015, he has been collaborating regularly with Hermès for whom he designs silk scarves. Baribeaud's first monograph was published by Hatje-Cantz in 2016.

Polina Barskaya

Polina Barskaya (b. 1984) is a Brooklyn-based Ukrainian-born artist who received her BA in Fine Arts from Hunter College in 2007, and an MFA from Pratt Institute in 2010. Barskaya’s confessional portraits have a diaristic quality to them. Barskaya’s paintings hone in on the psychological intensity of their subjects and tell stories about the human condition. Typically depicting herself, her husband or her child within a domestic space, Barskaya employs windows and light to create a sense of disconnect and isolation within her works. She has recently been the recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant and has exhibited extensively throughout the US.

Amy Beager

Amy Beager (b. 1988) lives and works from her studio in Chelmsford, UK. She obtained a National Diploma in Art & Design (Distinction) in 2007 and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Nottingham Trent University in 2010. Amy’s painterly language has re-imagined figurative painting with her bold colour juxtapositions; figures rendered in a simultaneously classical yet modern style; and compositions, which are exquisitely romantic and poetic. Parallel to the joyous vivid colour palette and swathes of rich paint and brushwork, the figures often appear restless, fervent, and in a complex tension of ecstasy and anguish. Reminiscent of the dramatic poses of the divine saints from the Renaissance period, these figures hover between the classical and the contemporary. Amy's paintings both celebrate and explore the emotional intensity and intimacy of love.

Laura Berger

Laura Berger (b. 1979) is an artist based in Chicago. Centered around themes of interdependence and self-understanding, her images focus on figurative archetypes, intuitive color palettes and dreamlike minimalistic environments. Initially approaching painting as a therapeutic practice, her work serves as a means through which to explore and articulate experiences and memories that feel just out of reach, that exist on a more spiritual or emotional plane. Laura has exhibited her work at numerous galleries across the US and abroad.

Iryna Maksymova

Iryna Maksymova, born in 1991 in Kolomyia, is a Ukrainian artist who explores subjects that touch her personally. The story line, colour contrasts and characters are so simple at first sight, but they reflect the deepest part of her inner feelings. Every work has a voice, a manifesto, it’s a call to action. Such as women silhouettes which are present in a lot of her works and are so powerful that they can convey both feminine and masculine characteristics. In the animals that she paints she wants to give them a voice which they don’t usually have. She wants to give voice to feminism, sexism, ecology, any cruelty towards people or animals. She questions why be silent if you’ve got something to say! Through her practice she seeks to influence people and to make them reflect not only on the visual part but also on the idea and concept that might motivate a change and to be changed.

Lee Simmonds

Lee Simmonds (b.1996) received his BFA with First-Class Honours from the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford, England in 2019. His work explores boundaries between abstraction and narrative; the personal and the macrocosmic. Channelling everyday experience through the genre of magical realism, he strives to create uncanny situations, rendered through a continually evolving visual language. Simmonds is actively involved in theatre-making and he is often seeking new ways in which his two practises can converge.

Gabriela Giroletti

Gabriela Giroletti (b. 1982) is a Brazilian painter, living and working in London. In 2018, she received her MFA in Painting (distinction) from the UCL, Slade School of Fine Art, where she held a position as an Honorary Research Fellow from 2019-2020. In 2015, Giroletti graduated with a BA in Fine Arts (first class) from the Middlesex University, London. In her work, Gabriela Giroletti explores the relationship between the painted image (the meaning, the immaterial, the metaphor, the mind) and the material presence in the painting (the corporeal, the touch, the physical presence, the body). Deliberately ambiguous, the paintings fluctuate between their crude materiality and their metaphysical aspect, encouraging the viewer to formulate peculiar connections with our tangible surroundings, as well as with individual and unique lived experience.

Richard Stone

Richard Stone (B. 1974) is a London-based artist who received his MA from Central Saint Martins. Each of Stone’s works are an arrested moment between stillness and movement and together form an idiosyncratic view on the world. This includes exploring masculinity in historic sculpture with a contemporary viewpoint, through to a universal sensuality of form and colour in painting. Recent sculptural works have included a series of marble flags that articulate the continued relevance of beauty in classical materials alongside works that draw on the symbolism of the horse. His recent sculptural paintings oscillate similarly between classical and contemporary concerns. Each of these particular works has a specific movement and is accented with an intense mono or colour hue to reflect a different mood.

Richard Burton

Richard Burton (b.1984) lives and works in London. He studied at the Royal College of Art (2019–21) and Slade School of Fine Art (2004–08). He is the recipient of the Abbey Fellowship in Painting, British School at Rome (2022). He thinks of painting as a form of world-building, connected to writers such as Philip K. Dick and David Foster Wallace. His imagery is fed by synthetic environments and the emotional distance they generate. There is an element of aspirational living, which he blends with traces of sci-fi to produce a kind of numb, restrained longing. For him the repetition of upholstered forms speaks to our constant seeking of comfort, and the impossibility of that need being wholly realised.

Rune Christensen

Rune Christensen (b. 1980) is a Danish artist. Rune’s work is inspired by the process of living: the constant movement that results in encounters between individuals, cultures and societies, encounters affecting everyone involved. Driven by ever-present wanderlust, Christensen paints as he travels. His unmistakable expression comes from a hotchpotch of impressions from our diverse world. Within Christensen’s works there is an intensely overwhelming, excited melting pot of scents, colours, gazes and people: each painting the culmination of a rich life. Having exhibited in many places including Denmark, Beirut, Sydney, London and Almaty in Kazakhstan, his works cross as many borders as the artist himself has done.
