Julia Szczerbowska(b. 1999, Poland) She received her MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków in 2023. She is currently studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria, in the studio of Professor Daniel Richter. Szczerbowska’s practice revolves around despair caused by climate change, biodiversity loss, humanitarian crises, and issues raised by feminist discourse. She addresses themes such as violence against women by revisiting her own experiences and traumas. Additionally, she examines how religion has shaped society’s relationship to sex and shame, and how this, in turn, influences representations of women’s bodies. The narratives in her paintings are constructed through rich symbolism rooted in cultural and often religious traditions.

Walker Smith (b. 2002, USA) lives and works in New York, New York. Walker Smith works in painting, drawing, and assemblage, capturing an idealized yet fleeting sense of his own world. Through quick and interpretive gestures, he highlights humanity‘s instinct to narrate and navigate uncertainty. A persistent intention with this practice accumulates layered marks into an ultimate story; that of constant reinvention and the instinctual unfolding of our unique paths. Smith received an MBA from Samford University (2025), competing as a division one pole vaulter where his work evolved through a self-instructed practice.

Paulina Moncada (b.1998, Colombia) works in painting, sculpture and installation to revisit notions of landscape in the Americas, specifically the Andean Tropics. Echoing the layered language of the Andes, Moncada stacks textures, colors, places and times to portray subtle encounters between human and non-human life. In her paintings absence and presence become possibilities to contrast human perception with what‘s beyond it. She received an MFA in Painting/Printmaking from Yale University (2025) where she was awarded the Elizabeth Canfield Hicks Award, and a BFA from University of the Andes. Selected exhibitions include Latitude Gallery, NY (2026), Perrotin Gallery, NY (2025) and the Museum of Modern Art of Bogotá (2019). She is currently a fellow at the Bronx Museum AIM.

John Singletary (b. 1996, USA) searches for a presence in his paintings. His work is involved with the invisible — his dreams, fears, and his primordial memory. His paintings, which draw inspiration from a wide range of filmic imagery, biblical stories, folk tales and myths, are projections of his subconscious. They are about longing, time, about his family, mysticism, memories that have stuck to him — about this inner world. He earned his MFA in UC San Diego’s Visual Arts program, and his BFA in Fine Arts at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. John’s work has been exhibited at MoMA PS1, the Houston Museum of African-American Culture, and exhibited internationally. John currently lives and works out of Brooklyn, New York.

Emma Løkke (b.1992, Copenhagen, Denmark) explores the interplay of revealing and concealing, tracing how memory, loss, care, and everyday experience accumulate into layered fields of meaning. Working between recognition and cognition, her painting is a close reckoning with how meanings connect and blur together, from the subsuming questions of what we carry with us to small, elusive everyday moments. Løkke aims to sediment the invisible and the in-between, where meanings fold into one another and settle over time. She graduated from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf as Meisterschülerin in 2025 and will begin an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London, in September 2026. Selected exhibitions include M+M Gallery, Hong Kong (2025), Jvdw, Düsseldorf (2024) and Augustiner Museum, Rattenberg(2022).

Claudio La Mattina (b. 1992, Rome) is an Italian artist based between Paris and London. Working across drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, experimental film and performance, La Mattina investigates the dynamics of human relationships through everyday objects, ritual and shared experience. Drawing is the foundation of his practice. Every work begins as a drawing—a space where images, stories and relationships first emerge before taking on new forms.

Brett Eduard (b. 1992, Canada) is a Montreal-based artist working across painting, collage, sculpture, and animation. Drawing from music, landscape, architecture, notation, memory, and observed experience, Eduard treats these references less as subjects than as material to be translated into relationships of color, rhythm, and space. Thinking of painting as a kind of music for the eye, he searches for visual equivalents of melody, harmony, rhythm, and counterpoint in order to create paintings that unfold through sustained looking, where subtle shifts in color and spatial tension generate a sense of latent movement. Originally trained in industrial design at OCAD University, selected exhibitions include Within The Limits Of The Fable at Zalucky Contemporary, Toronto, and group exhibitions in Canada and Europe. His work is held in the collections of Royal Bank of Canada and Air Canada.

José Luis Barquero (Barcelona, 1997) is an artist whose practice centers on painting—a medium that has accompanied his trajectory as a constant pulse, a way of thinking and being. Although he has collaborated on various projects and across different disciplines, painting has always been his anchor: the place he returns to and from which everything takes shape. His work unfolds as an open system between image, gesture, and scene, where error and urgency operate as engines of meaning. In that tension between form and dissolution, his painting does not represent but rather produces presence—a suspension where the visible brushes against the unattainable. Barquero works as an open system that moves between image, gesture, and scene.

Jonathan Tignor (b. 1997, USA) views painting as a means of understanding the images upon which a contemporary yet mythical sense of identity is built. He is interested in the gaps between real and imagined — how the real becomes imagined, and vice-versa. In rendering these images, Tignor looks for material resistance between paint and surface in order to introduce both a formal tension and moments of unexpected encounter. The resulting visual narratives aim beyond an immediate and self-referential experience, and instead toward a slow and critical way of seeing. Tignor graduated from Colorado College with a BA in Creative Writing and completed a Post-Baccalaureate in Studio Art at the Burren College of Art in Ireland. Most recently, he earned an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2024. Tignor has shown with OHSH Projects, Chilli Arts, and Twilight Contemporary in London, as well as Bonian Space in Beijing and Pigment Gallery in Barcelona.

Luochen Zhang (b. 2004, Guangdong, China) works across painting, moving image, and installation to examine how space shapes perception and human behavior. Approaching seemingly neutral environments as organizing systems, Zhang explores how architectural and spatial structures guide movement, direct attention, and subtly condition the ways we see and inhabit a place. Through cropped viewpoints, compressed spatial relationships, and altered proportions, his works reconstruct familiar environments into ambiguous scenes suspended between observation and subjective experience.

Kenix Xiaoqing Liang (b.1995, China) works in paintings that re-imagine living forms in the mundane life and nature and construct a world where collision, negotiation, and re-establishment between the human world and habitats of other creatures constantly happen. Often staging encounters between contradictory forces embedded within shared living spaces—the flourishing and the decaying, theanimate and the inanimate, the predator and the prey, the man-made and the natural—the paintings fuse allegory with scientific imagery to reconsider entrenched power dynamics in nature and to uncover the latent narratives they contain. By attending to overlooked forms of life and the fragile yet persistent systems they inhabit, the paintings invite a reconsideration of belonging—not as dominance over territory, but as participation within entangled networks of coexistence and shared vulnerability as conditions for imagining alternative futures. She received an MFA from California Institute of the Arts in 2023 and BA from University of California, Los Angeles. Recent selected exhibitions include Villepin, Hong Kong (2026); Gene Gallery (2024)

Philipp Moritz Karweick (b. 1989, Germany) is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and works with photography, sculpture, and drawing. He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris. He has had solo and group exhibitions at venues including Bilker Bunker, Düsseldorf (2023); Palais des Beaux- Arts, Paris (2021); L21 Gallery, Palma (2020); Daniel Marzona Gallery, Berlin (2019); and UG – Museum Folkwang, Essen (2018). In 2024, Karweick realized a series of curatorial projects with Art Hub Copenhagen. For Cabin NY, Karweick developed over the timespan of his residency The Invisible City, an exhibition consisting of four sculptures that occupy the ground floor of the Scanlons Building, a former car garage and factory in Potsdam, that is now part of the workshops of cabin residency upstate New York. The sculptures were created and are exhibited in the same room and therefore hold their making and their showing densely tight.

Elena Schertler (b. 2003, Hohenems, Austria) explores movement as both a physical action and a way of thinking. Working across painting, drawing and installation, she investigates how movement and memory shape the images we create and the stories we tell. She is interested in how contemporary image culture shape our perception. In a world influenced by algorithmic systems, constant visual stimulation and endless streams of images, her work asks how painting can slow us down. Through fragmented compositions and open visual narratives, she creates works that resist fixed meanings and invite viewers to bring their own experiences into the work. For her, images shape the way we understand the world. Every image carries a decision about what becomes visible, preserved, or forgotten. By creating new images, she aims to open spaces for unexpected encounters and new ways of seeing. The history of humanity is shaped by the images we create and pass on. To write new stories, we have to create new images.

Nickolas Roblee-Strauss (b. 2000, western Massachusetts) is an oil painter working on the fringes of figuration. Through gestural mark-making and vivid color, his paintings navigate intense psychological landscapes. He has exhibited in New York, Providence, and Portugal, with recent presentations at September Gallery, Galerie Shibumi, and PADA studios. He holds a BA from Brown University, where he was a Royce Fellow.

Gwen Hollingsworth (b. 1998, USA) uses painting to highlight the psychology of space and its impact on our personal realities in an effort to create new visual and spiritual paradigms. Her practice explores phenomena in the natural world as a way of seeking sanctuary and self knowing. Her work has been exhibited at Island Gallery, New York; Alice Amati, London; Sow&Tailor, Los Angeles; Roberts Projects, Los Angeles; Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles; Swivel Gallery, Saugerties, New York; The Shophouse, Hong Kong; and South Willard, Los Angeles, among others. She received her BA from UCLA in 2020.

Natalia Drabik (b. 1989, Poland) in 1989 and lives and works in Paris. Her practice centres on the body as an overcoded form in which psyche and power intertwine. Her paintings and sculptures produce a bodily presence that withholds rather than pleases. Drabik completed the Master Class at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2021. She received the Missing Link award from the Psychoanalytisches Seminar Zürich, which supported the publication of her book Heiligtümer und Fetische. She has been an artist-in-residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. Her work and research in Japan have been supported by the DAAD and the Kunststiftung NRW.
