Derrick Santini
Derrick Santini hails from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, and discovered his love for photography at the age of thirteen, whilst taking pictures with his mum’s old Agfa camera. Derrick spent his teenage years recording everything he saw; initially a silent and passive observer, he came to regard the images he took as slices of life, ‘moments in-between’, as statements about the individual, society, culture – and ultimately as an expression of the human condition.

Le Guo
Le Guo (b. 1964 in China) is a well respected artist with international achievements. He has been invited to deliver lectures at The British Museum, Sotheby’s Institute of Art and Xi’An University, amongst different venues. Le Guo’s paintings present intense visions of colour, organic forms and undefined shapes.

Camille Hannah
Camille Hannah’s paintings predicate a model of painting that is born from within the frame of technology; they are embedded in twenty-first century gestural abstraction while conceptually vested in digital and screen technologies.Harnessing the contemporary aesthetic of mediated visuality, whilst acknowledging that painting is, equally indebted to art history, her work acknowledges the influence of the screen-paradigm through notions relating to painting as object/surface and the perception of interactivity, relating to a virtual form of tactility. -

Pan Jian
Internationally recognised Pan Jian (b. 1976 in Shandong Province, China) has been acquired by major collectors such as Uli Sigg and DSL Collection. Pan Jian conjures up elements from the tradition of Chinese landscape painting with reminiscences of Rothko’s meditative quality, Yves Klein’s deep blue and Zao Wou-Ki’s flowing energy. By painting chaotic silhouettes of leaves and branches, Pan Jian explores uninhabited deep forests through an electrifying and intense colour palette, creating landscapes that are both symbolic and real at once.

ILHWA KIM
Ilhwa Kim (b. 1967 in South Korea) creates works that are composed of tens of thousands of seed units. Each seed unit has a combination of straight lines and circles, which compose a tiny single universe. The materials are created personally for every single universe. The Korean artist dyes each sheet of paper by hand with thousands of different colours cutting and rolling the layers of paper to make them rigid. It gives Kim an emotional bonding to every single universe. Not a single universe has the same shape, look or colour in her work.

VLADINSKY
Vladinsky was born in July, 1988, in the city of Onesti, a city located in the Moldovan area of Romania. From the first years of school he was fascinated by visual arts because of a fine arts teacher. Being the first generation in a country barely escaped from communism, the help received from his parents was modest because the family did not know the true meaning of freedom and it was very difficult to guide him in finding a form of expression.

MAXIM WAKULTSCHIK
Maxim Wakultschik's art consists of mathematically precise and accurate constructions that create formal order from a chaos of independent elements. In his complex and multilayered objects, he explores the interplay between light and shadow, surface structure and colour vibration. Focusing on the effect of the reflection of the ambient light results in oscillating variations of reality that constantly challenge us to a proactive approach. His works perpetually change as the slightest movement, the smallest alteration in perspective leads to stunning new impressions, turning his works into kinetic objects. The edges of reality and illusion are blurred and become flexible constructs of the individual, which constantly challenge us to push the boundaries of our perception.

ZHUANG HONG YI
Born in 1962 in Sichuan Province, China, Zhuang Hong Yi lives and works between The Netherlands & Beijing. The flower motif dominates Zhuang Hong Yi's work - a significant image in Chinese culture which carries countless meanings and emotions yet with equally strong associations with the Netherlands, world famous for its flowers - and he works patiently and religiously on this subject year after year, intricately crafting his works with care and forethought. Zhuang's well known and highly collected 'flower bed' works are crafted from delicate pieces of painted rice paper, which he has bent and folded into hundreds of tiny buds.
-
Wang Ziling
Wang Ziling (b.1988 in Hunan, China) creates astonishing sculptural paintings in which she explores our perception of external surroundings by reforming the structure of how we see and perceive.
While delving into the relationship between colours and their abstract manifestations, Wang Ziling’s works attempt to break with convention. Her artistic practice explores a new a sense of freedom and generates unrestrained abstract forms that cannot be confined to the limits of traditional frames. Colours in her works are boldly flying outside the boundaries of conventional pantings, providing the viewer with a three-dimensional visual challenge.
