Artists
Igor Moritz
Poland, b. 1996
Never shying away from the sentimental, Igor Moritz’s work depicts man in all his relations: in relation to himself, others and the world. Moritz is mostly self-taught—he attended an arts high school in Poland but studied industrial design in college, and he developed his fine-art practice on his own terms. Moritz has exhibited in London, Paris, New York, and Mallorca, and his work belongs to multiple collections, including Colección SOLO in Madrid, Museum No Hero in Delden and Rad Hourani Foundation in Montreal.
Artists
Davide Hjort Di Fabio
Italy, b. 1990
Davide Hjort Di Fabio sees sculpture as an extension and expansion of the human body. Often made from materials such as ceramics, metal, and plastic, the sculptures' abstract and organic forms become a metaphor for a fluid and transformative identity. The sculptures have a performative expression that is often activated through other media such as video, performance, sound, and photography. In his practice, Davide also examines the representation of queerness through time by weaving together historical, political, and personal narratives. Hjort Di Fabio received an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2024. Recent exhibitions include Kunsthal Charlottenborg (2024), The Italian Cultural Institute (2024), Vejen Kunstmuseum (2023), Outpost (2022), Kunsthal Rønnebæksholm (2021), Galleri Bo Bjerggaard (2021), Den Frie Udstillingsbygning (2020). In 2023 he was awarded the Anne Marie Carl Nielsen talent award for sculptors.
Artists
Coline Marotta
France, b. 1991
Drawing from her interest in the ontological, Coline Marotta's gentle expressionist paintings depict a mood of tranquility, comfort, and reconciliation. Her contemplative characters are long limbered, found in acts of embrace or reaching out, adding a sense of intimacy to the cramped spaces they inhabit. Since finishing her MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2017), Marotta has exhibited at Mine Project (Hong Kong), The Tennis Elbow (NYC) and the Public Gallery (London), amongst others. Her work has been included in public collections such as Statens Kunstfond, alongside multiple notable private collections. Marotta lives and works in Copenhagen.
Italy, born. 1989
Claudio Coltorti (b. 1989) is an Italian painter based in Athens, Greece, trained at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His oil paintings transform the stimulating elements of his surroundings into visual form. By employing a dynamic use of color and shape, he brings to life the concepts of humanity and intimacy, striving to capture the essence of "human presence" and its volatile nature.
Artists
Petra Cortright
US, b. 1986
Petra Cortright is a contemporary artist whose multifaceted artistic practice stems from creating and manipulating digital files. Cortright’s core practice is the creation and distribution of digital and physical images using consumer or corporate software, printed onto archival surfaces, projected onto existing architecture, or mechanically carved from stone.  A notable member of what became known at the ‘Post Internet’ art movement of the mid-to-late-2000s with her YouTube videos and online exhibitions, Cortright later began to laboriously craft digital paintings by creating layer upon layer of manipulated images in Photoshop - which she then rendered onto materials such as aluminum, linen, paper, and acrylic sheets. In addition to her 2D work, in 2018 Cortright premiered a new body of sculptural work in marble. As with her paintings, Cortright's sculptures are intended to capture and represent a digital moment - in this case a digital brush stroke - that is translated into a three-dimensional object via industrial fabrication techniques. Cortright’s role as artist is an amalgam of painter, graphic designer, editor, and producer; culminating in a singular artistic reflection of contemporary visual culture that can exist on a smartphone screen, a Times Square billboard, and anything in between.
Artists
Serge Attukwei Clottey
Ghana, b. 1985
Serge Attukwei Clottey is Ghanaian artist living and working in Los Angeles and Accra. Clottey's multifaceted practice includes installation, drawing, sculpture, painting and performance, all united by, and springing from, a sense of community instilled in him through his upbringing in the traditional extended family structures of Ghana.

The materials Clottey chooses for his works are chosen for their significance to the idea and the journey Clottey is exploring in a specific work, interlacing his own exploration with the histories of the objects. It is this process of transformation and repurposing that forms the very fabric of Clottey's art; challenging pre-set narratives, while allowing for new ideas and identities to form. This is evident not only in Clottey's well known tapestries, but also in the large tondo charcoal drawings and works on linen that reference historical African photography and western impressions of African culture.

Clottey studied at the Ghanatta College of Art and Design in Ghana and the Guignard University of Art of Minas Gerais in Brazil. In 2019 Clottey received an Honorary Doctorate of Art from the University of Brighton.
Artists
Ry David Bradley
Australia, b. 1979
Born in Melbourne in 1979, Ry David Bradley completed his MFA at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2013 before relocating to London where he now lives and works.

Ry David Bradley's exploration of visual representation is fuelled by a constant negotiation between the history of manual image-making and the rising influence of digital artifice within the cultural imaginary. Having never worked with a brush on canvas, for the last twenty years Ry David Bradley has been forging a new path for the next generation of digital painters; a group for whom artistic expression will be best realized using software tools.

The artist's exhibition history includes: Still Life 2 at Brigade as well as museum shows at Kunsthaus Erfurt, Herning Museum of Contemporary Art, Lyon Housemuseum, National Gallery of Victoria, and the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. Bradley has been the recipient of a Myer Foundation Award, an APGA Research Scholarship, JM Kerley Travelling Scholarship and the VCA Athenaeum Club First Prize. His work is included in the permanent collections of Herning Museum of Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Victoria, Museum of Contemporary Art Kraków and the Lyon Housemuseum.
Artists
Gene A'Hern
Australia, b. 1993
Gene A'Hern is currently based in Katoomba, Australia. A'Hern's work expresses an autobiographical interaction between previous meditation and present impulse. This interaction, which originates from organic symbolism found throughout his sketchbook, evolves in layers that inform each other in a movement dependent on the present tense. While his art is influenced by the spiritual meditation that inspires many of the motifs used throughout his work, he actualizes these symbols in his paintings through a process of disinhibited, childlike automation. A'Hern conveys an assemblage of color, form and gesture using collage, painting and sculpture of mixed medium. He instinctively combines spray paint, acrylics, oils, pastels and charcoal in the makings of his works.
