Sophia Loeb creates paintings in which landscape, abstraction and sensory experience converge. Her images move between recognition and invention, constructing environments where colour, atmosphere and matter follow an internal logic. Rather than depicting a landscape, Loeb turns it into a condition of perception—something encountered as much as seen.

Angel Otero conceives painting as a material capable of recording its own becoming.
Born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, in 1981, and now working between Puerto Rico and New
York, he has developed a practice in which memory, art history, and material
transformation are deeply intertwined.

In Jonathan Lyndon Chase’s paintings, the body becomes a site of identity, intimacy, vulnerability, and transformation. Moving between figuration and abstraction, Chase creates visual worlds in which bodies, objects, and environments are inseparable, shaped by lived experience, everyday gestures, and community.

Nathanaëlle Herbelin’s paintings begin with the intimacy of everyday life: domestic interiors, bodies, relationships and moments that might otherwise remain unnoticed.

In an age saturated by images, Marina Perez Simão’s paintings return to a slower and more attentive mode of seeing. Working across painting, watercolour, textiles and drawing, she develops a practice rooted in accumulation, intuition and the gradual emergence of images from experience.

In his paintings, Shaqúelle Whyte constructs imagined spaces charged with ambiguity, exploring the human condition through expressive brushwork, loosely rendered figures, and expansive compositions. His scenes hover between recognition and invention, creating worlds whose logic remains deliberately elusive.

Sedrick Chisom’s practice explores painting as a space where history, mythology, speculative imagination and visual memory converge.

Cassi Namoda (b. 1988, Maputo, Mozambique) is a painter and performance artist whose work interweaves personal memory, cultural history and invention.

In an age saturated by images, Ali Banisadr’s paintings reaffirm the transformative potential of painting as a space of memory, imagination, and continuous becoming.

In an age saturated by images, Quentin James McCaffrey’s paintings propose a slower and a more contemplative mode of attention. Through carefully constructed interiors, architectural fragments and charged arrangements of objects, his practice investigates the relationship between perception, memory and imagination.
