Ariel Zhang

I am a Chinese interdisciplinary artist based in Chicago. My artistic approach migrates between different media, such as painting, printmaking, installation, and sculpture. 

My language attempts to re-examine the fragmented moments and explores the space in between presence and absence.

 My interests mainly intersect with architectural and psychological space.

Aristo Vopěnka

My art is about finding that equilibrium, in which I capture a moment, a sensation that was in our now and vanished shortly after. 

Even when life sometimes seems to be an endless hurdle, my work tries to extract the colourful moments that keep us going.

Rhianna Selley

I grew up in Devon and am now a London based artist. I am interested in the concept of Being, and how we experience time through the still spaces that we inhabit everyday. I love the juxtaposition; such a complex, ambiguous and incomprehensible concept such as time is still so familiar, experienced through walking, and explored through such mundane actions like ironing socks.
