Korean artist Lee Gihun (b. 1981) invites the viewer into a mesmerizing artistic universe. His paintings, which center on child-like masked characters, are masterfully made while conveying a salient message. Moody landscapes dominated by the remains of civilization are pierced by the vivid red of his cast of unique characters who are almost always scrambling to save what remains of the world ñ most often, animals, in a contemporary retelling of biblical story of the Flood. Made with traditional Korean ink, acrylics and oil sticks, Lee Gihun works exude atmosphere and storytelling.

With his amazing live painting at the gallery on August 14th, he demonstrated just how skilled he is.

At only 21 years old, Australian Mia Pensa is one of our youngest artists but she is no less talented for it! Her bright tropical subjects focus on the stylization of forms into almost abstract shapes, inspired by the refined stylization characteristic of art from the Indian subcontinent - but with a characteristic vivid but cool color palette.

Among our talented artists with a sustainable practice is French Marc Sparfel (1972). Sparfel works with scrap wood that has been abandoned in the streets around his home in Barcelona, fashioning it into astonishing abstract sculptures made up of geometric shapes reminiscent of Cubism.

 

 

 

 

Dela Anyah (b. in Ghana, 1986) uses discarded car and bicycle tires from repair shops around Ghana to create his mesmerizing installations, creating objects of haunting beauty where before there was only worthless waste littering the Ghanian landscape. 

 

We are proud to represent the amazing and internationally renowned Arinze Stanley (b. 1993, Nigeria), in whose hands the humblest art material of all, the pencil, creates astonishing and awe-inspiring works as good as if not better than any oil painting. Portraying Black individuals expressing the feelings that accompany the Black experience, his portraits, which are monumental in size (often more than 1.5 meters tall), are mesmerizing displays of skill and soulfulness.
