The contrast between policeman and hooligan, between father and son, reverberates through the piece. At the base of the triptych, fragments of a police baton tangle with a stadium fence. Gate II reflects on these parallel paths: two inseparable lives, frozen in a moment of conflict yet still somehow symmetrical, like two branches balancing the weight of the family tree.

Sand gives the surface a desirable and repulsive finish: begging for touch, the coarse outer layers would unforgivingly chafe the rubbing hand. The artist builds its case on this duality of the immediate and the suggested. Harsh skin and airy sand blend with rough fantasies and demure bearings.

Life experiences shape our identities, as we carry memories, hopes, scars, and traumas that accumulate over time, revealing the complex aspects of our humanity

Lonnie Holley
-
-
-
For decades, artists such as Holley—self-taught and working at a distance from the major art centers (and, until fairly recently, outside the mainstream gallery system)—have largely been sidelined or ignored. Yet the neglect of these works belies their quiet power.

Thornton Dial
-
-
-
-
From the complex, exuberant textures of his assemblages to the deft, fluid lines of his drawings, Dial’s facility as an artist was truly extraordinary.

They are about the rise and fall of civilisations, as well as the romantic language of still-life painting: futile materialism and fragile mortality reflected by the transient beauty of flowers.

Agata Bogacka
-
-
My works take up the topic of human relationships at various scales. From the personal scale in close relationships, through functioning in societies, to the relations between citizens and those in power. I believe that all of them are based on the same principles, and that unknowingly we can enter the same type of a relationship at all of these levels.

Vinca Petersen
-
-
I have always been much more interested in the content than the image itself and feel it’s absolutely essential not to change or interrupt what is unfolding.
Vinca Petersen, Artist

Simon Lehner
-
-
-
By employing his own private photo archive again and again, Lehner’s works create a strong and simultaneously sensitive tension between technical and cognitive processes, and the deeply personal struggle of grasping one’s own past.
Christina Lehnert, Mousse Magazine
-
Farley Aguilar
-
-
His work brings forgotten histories to the forefront, intertwining past narratives with contemporary concerns such as environmental degradation, societal decline, and how the prioritization of profit affects the world's marginalized communities.
Michelle Tonta, Whitewalls

Sheida Soleimani
-
-
-
Soleimani’s works artfully spin a traumatic history and personal losses into a kind of visual poetry that’s thoughtful, mysterious and captivating. And they are odes to her parents as well, in a body of work that celebrates rather than criticizes the family that shaped her.
Martha Schwendener, The New York Times

Sorel Etrog
-
-
For Etrog, the human head is a landscape in which to explore and articulate the tension between the interior life of humans and the exterior reality they face.
