Alex Voinea

Alex Voinea

Fading backgrounds create depth and perspective in an abstract work, but with an almost hyper-realist definition, in which Voinea transmits a vibrancy of motion through drippings and large sweeping brushstrokes that include various saturated and fluorescent colors and that bring movement and fluidity to his painting. 

 

Inspired by experiments with paint poured over vibrating surfaces (for example, speakers at full volume) which project splashes and streams of color in space, Voinea captures and  freezes in an instant, an imaginary and expressive big bang of color. 

 

Alex Voinea was born in Romania in 1973. Leaving Romania after the revolution, he moved to Italy and now resides in Sitges (Barcelona), where he works and exhibits. He has shown his work in various cities; most recently in Brussels (Accessible Art Fair), Paris, London (The Other Art Fair), Milan and New York (Clio Art Fair).

Katharina Hormel

Katharina Hormel

Katharina Hormel creates minimalistic landscape paintings featuring everyday scenes of life. Her art often portrays people engaged in their daily activities, such as taking a leisurely walk in the park, cycling, playing football, or even snowboarding down a mountain range. These seemingly mundane moments hold significant meaning as they define our lives and contribute to our happiness and fulfillment. The essence of living in the present and spending quality time with loved ones is central to her work, promoting well-being and contentment.

Hormel's artistic approach is characterized by capturing these small moments of joy with heart and a sense of humor. She uses gold or copper leaf in her paintings, which interact with the changing light, creating a warm and reflective contrast to the minimally depicted figures in black, white, and grey. This color scheme adds an element of elegance to her art, making it contemporary yet unobtrusive, while still bursting with life, happiness, and intricate details.

Her works have garnered a global following, with collectors from around the world, including the USA, Singapore, the UK, and various European countries. Katharina Hormel's ability to depict the beauty and significance of everyday moments resonates with a diverse audience, transcending geographical boundaries.

 

 

Lesley Hilling

Lesley Hilling

Lesley Hilling is a self-taught English artist known for her intricate constructions made entirely from salvaged wood and found objects. Her work reflects a deep connection to the past, incorporating items like cigarette cards, shells, old photos, clock mechanisms, and magnifying glasses. These objects are not just materials but storytellers, inviting viewers to unravel the narratives within each piece. As Lesley herself notes, “the key to the story is with the viewer.”

Originally trained as a graphic designer, Lesley transitioned from design to art over the years, drawing inspiration from artists like Joseph Cornell and Louise Nevelson. Her early work with box constructions has since evolved into larger wall pieces and towering sculptures that evoke both nostalgia and a desire to preserve forgotten fragments of history. Jane England, a notable commentator, describes her art as “a powerful sense of longing to preserve the fragments of the past, a desire for order, a passionate and mysterious evocation of lost moments.”

Lesley’s artistic practice is deeply tied to her life in Brixton, south London, where she has lived for over forty years with her partner Nel. Together, they are active members of the Brixton Housing Co-op, tending to their allotment and sharing their home with two dogs. Lesley’s work is a testament to the beauty of reclaimed materials and the stories they can hold, offering viewers a glimpse into lost moments and hidden memories.

Martina Hamrik

Martina Hamrik

The focus of Martina Hamrik's art is expressive drawing and painting on the themes of movement, theater, and stage design. Martina Hamrik is particularly inspired by places where movement plays a significant role, whether in sports or on stage, during mass gatherings of people in the city, or among animals in the countryside (such as flocks of sheep and herds of cows). Martina Hamrik is fascinated by the way movement defines the space around the figure. The figure, whether human or animal, appears isolated by its contours yet remains an independent being in the anonymity of the group. The brushstrokes are applied powerfully, conveying vitality and dynamism in the compositions. Translating movement rhythms in such a way requires a special gift of observation and artistry—this is precisely what makes Martina Hamrik's work unique.

Neil Wood

Neil Wood

Neil Wood is a professional sculptor and fine artist with many years' experience lecturing in fine art and sculpture at institutions in the UK. He has worked in various settings; in education, as artist-in-residence and visiting lecturer, alongside his practice producing sculpture for exhibition and public commissions.

Employing a Modernist methodology to explore the human condition in the 21st century, Neil uses the figure as a vehicle to experiment with materials and visual language. He attempts to express ideas about the world we inhabit and the nature of human experience and relationships.

'The making process is very important in my practice. Engaging with the materials, processes and techiques allows me to engage with the subject matter in a more visceral way, responding to the materials intuitively, which keeps the creative decision making active throughout the making of the work. I'm keen to does as much of the process myself including the lost wax bronze casting '.

Rikke Bjørn

Rikke Bjørn

As a Danish artist based in Copenhagen, my work revolves around the exploration of geometric compositions, where color, shape, and surface converge. Through non-objective art, I delve into the intricate relationships between these elements, creating compositions that both satisfy my need for order and invite visual interaction. The hard-edged geometry of my work provides a sense of structure and calmness, while the dynamic interplay of colors introduces a layer of complexity and intrigue.

Working intuitively, I rarely rely on sketches or predetermined color schemes, allowing the process to unfold organically. This openness to spontaneity lets me continuously experiment with how colors can be manipulated in response to surrounding shapes and tones. Each composition becomes a study in how perception shifts when colors are juxtaposed, highlighting their inherent fluidity and their ability to transform within different contexts.

 Through this process, I explore specific themes, pushing the boundaries of color and form. My practice is a continuous investigation into how much I can manipulate these fundamental elements to create new, thought-provoking visual experiences.
