Francesca Longhini. I define my works as abstract genre scenes.
I define my works as abstract genre scenes. The white works show the “Hic et nunc” feelings, and the black works flood in the time. Although both ones are silent and deaf.
Dominic Kennedy. My paintings are made from a variety of different materials.
My paintings are made from a variety of different materials: oil paint, oil stick and crayon together with collaged paper, wood and felt. The surface of the paintings is important.
Osamu Kobayashi. When I first started making abstract paintings it became a sort of philosophical pursuit.
When I first started making abstract paintings it became a sort of philosophical pursuit; I used reductive forms and flat colors to deconstruct the visual world…
Nunzio De Martino. My art? A material language!
My art? A material language! How long and how much listening was necessary to find in a thread and in its variants of color, of thickness, the personal medium of artistic expression.
Shaan Syed. I see paintings as signs-signs for everything that stands behind them, and for everything they point towards.
The work is primarily about painting; it’s nuances, it’s faults and the way it’s seen and made. I see paintings as signs -signs for everything that stands behind them, and for everything they point towards…
Linne Urbye. My work method is a relatively intuitive and open-ended process.
My work method is a relatively intuitive and open-ended process based on studio practice where I usually work on several pieces at once and the paintings inform each other.
Nicolò Baraggioli. I am interested in investigating the concept of space, boundary and the aesthetics.
My work expands outward from a central point of minimalism, into a world of texture, color, and material. I am interested in investigating the concept of space, boundary and the aesthetics. My works are representations of that exploration…
Davide Balliano. I work in a very repetitive and monastic way.
I work in a very repetitive and monastic way. I come to the studio every day, pretty early in the morning, and I work until evening. My practice is very time consuming and labour intense but it can be quite meditative so I enjoy it very much. New works come exclusively from the work itself and from my progress in understanding it…
Jens Kothe. My work examines the „bodyness“ and sensuality of materials and objects from daily life like easy fabrics, tiles, glass and wood.
My work examines the „bodyness“ and sensuality of materials and objects from daily life like easy fabrics, tiles, glass and wood. I also examine my environment, objects or bodies by taking photos, modelling with clay or taking moulds from body parts. What I also try to document with photography is atmosphere. My objects work like pictures but mainly as „persons opposite“. The objects creates a physical presence in the room and so the aspect of atmosphere becomes relevant again…
Tom Hackney. Marcel Duchamp’s works and ideas exert a strong influence on my work.
Marcel Duchamp’s works and ideas exert a strong influence on my work – specifically the moment that art begins to migrate from the eye to the mind. This relationship, the balance between the retinal and non-retinal, is apparent in chess, where the pieces stand as material shadows cast by the mental processes that drive the game forward. Duchamp’s chess activity feels to me like very powerful source material in this regard.
