Based in Berlin, German artist Karla Zipfel has built a practice around the cultural grammar of ordinary prosperity. She examines the single-family house, the building-society mascot, the advice counter, the heating system, and the meme as connected forms, each one shaping how social mobility is imagined. Her philosophy is neither nostalgic nor dismissive. She treats commonplace aesthetics as serious evidence of how…

Augustin Katz (born 1995, France; lives and works in Paris) is a painter whose work explores the ways in which images function as structures of thought, shaping perception, memory and the experience of the unconscious. Through a figurative practice marked by distortion and spatial tension, he constructs compositions that operate as mental architectures in which psychic and perceptual states unfold. His figures…

Maya Golyshkina is a Russian artist based in London whose work uses self-portraiture to blur the line between person and object. Drawing on performance, staged photography, and sculptural construction, she makes images in which toothpaste, eggs, newspapers, and other ordinary materials become tools for thinking about identity, judgment, and bodily freedom. The work rejects polish in favor of visible process, and…

Bora Akıncıtürk is a Turkish artist based between London and Istanbul whose practice studies the movement of images between screens, objects, memories, and paintings. He draws from internet culture, memes, pop references, anonymous photographs, old devices, text fragments, and personal archives, using them to question who owns an image and what happens when its context disappears. His work uses humor as an entry…

Martina Merlini frames her work as an ongoing negotiation between rational structure and irrational impulse, a tension she makes visible through repetition and rupture. On wood panels and heavy paper, she lays down symmetrical bands and grids in wax and enamel, then disrupts their order through melting, scraping, and the incidental shifts that occur as materials set. These interventions often concentrate where the…

Paul Weiner is an American artist based in Denver whose work uses abstraction as a way to process how symbols, violence, and belief circulate in contemporary life. Moving between painting, drawing, sculpture, and digital projects, he treats politics as raw material to be cut up and recontextualized rather than a platform for moral instruction. Influenced by artists who fuse conceptual strategies with charged public…

Lito Kattou is a Cypriot visual artist based between Athens and Nicosia. Her sculpture links speculative thinking to precise fabrication as a framework for reimagining identity under ecological and technological pressure. She works across media, including sculpture, painting, video, and performance, using a range of materials and techniques to articulate affinities between bodies and worlds. Her pieces incorporate…

Abed Elmajid Shalabi is a Palestinian artist based in Richmond, Virginia, whose sculpture turns the language of infrastructure into a way of thinking about power. Using ceramics alongside cast concrete and found industrial forms, he remakes objects that claim to provide safety, direction, and progress, then lets cracks, instability, and partial legibility expose their costs. His reflective road-sign works, often…

Currently in Seoul, while based in Oslo, Norwegian artist Constance Tenvik makes art about bodies under pressure: bodies that dress up, perform, desire, dream, and try to escape the limits placed on them. Across painting, textile, sculpture, film, and performance, she brings together historical sources and present-day social life to create vivid, theatrical spaces where humor and critique operate together. Her…

Francisco Sierra paints with old-master finesse while staging scenes that slip from plausible to disobedient. Born in Santiago de Chile in 1977 and long based in rural Switzerland, he is a self-taught painter who treats realism as a trapdoor and kitsch as an invitation. Clarity is his tactic. He renders objects, animals, and faces with forensic precision, then pivots the premise until the image reads as a literal…
