Melissa Gordon American and British artist Melissa Gordon makes larger than scale paintings with a special focus on body, consumption, gender, feminism and the act of painting.

Peggy Franck: Peggy Franck is known for the photographs, taken inside her studio, of abstract still lifes made from everyday found objects. She variously hangs these images on the wall, leaves the prints rolled up on the floor as sculptures, or presents them alongside installations of similar arrangements. Franck’s compositions are careful constructions of abstract shapes and recognizable materials, gestural forms, and geometric arrangements. With these works, she began a train of thought that would extend through her other bodies of work: that of manipulating perceptions of space in two and three dimensions. In addition to photography, sculpture, and installation, her practice is ever-expanding to include new mediums.
Erika Peucelle: is a croatian artist who graduated at KABK in 2023 at the Royal Academy of Art, in The Hague.

She adapts her process and way of working to that of the content-saturated – overstimulated Instagram generation. Translating endless scrolls through fast, rough, and sketchy manners of expression and redefines the meaning of time-laborious painting.
