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.
Sheena Wagstaff, The New York Times
-
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
-
Marcin Dudek
-
-
-
In Dudek’s work, memory serves as both inspiration and medium. His installations take the form of sculptural environments reimagining lost spaces specific to his own experiences, lending themselves to critical inquiries around the construction of individual and group identity.
-
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.
Daniel Culpan, Artforum
-
Dale Lewis
-
-
Lewis’ paintings are inextricably linked to his own experiences and to his observations of those around him: at times confrontational, while elsewhere nuanced and subtle. Built through the compositional layering of images within images, his densely packed details trigger a chain of associations through which his world unfolds.
Maggie Horneff, Writer

Jenkin Van Zyl
-
-
-
Van Zyl often brings together contrasting elements – backstage and onstage, repulsion and desire, structure and decay, legibility and confusion – to foreground a position of precarity and ambiguity as a productive site for discovery.
Fiontán Moran, Writer
-
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
-
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
-
Yoshinori Niwa
-
Yoshinori Niwa’s practice takes the form of social interventions, executed through performance, video and installation. Niwa deploys a nonsensical vernacular to examine socio-political realities, an artistic strategy whose roots can be traced to the post-war Japanese avant-garde.
