Ashleigh Holmes, also known as Ash Holmes, makes abstract art fresh and new with her delicate color palette and dynamic brushwork. Born in 1994 in Sydney, Australia, the vast Australian landscapes are a great inspiration for her, new paintings often being the impression of a landscape she has recently experienced. Her warm pinks and earth colors combine to make paintings that are both inviting and elegant, her mastery of color aided by her diploma in the psychology of color.

Michael McGrath's (b. 1977) playful universe evokes the magical forests and beasts of children's book illustrations. However, someting more sinister seems to lurk behind the whimsical in this world of warm forest greens and popping pinks - whether it be fantasy creatures with many more arms than usual, or startled faces looking back at the viewer. By applying colored pencil and oil pastels on top of his layers of paint on canvas or wooden panels, he achieves a textured, cozy effect reminiscent of children's drawings.

French artist Daniel Mato (b. 1983) uses the optical qualities of paint to create new colors in his vividly expressive abstract art. By layering transparent layers of acrylic paint that sink into the weave of the canvas and fuse together, he creates an effect reminiscent of stained glass, allowing the transparent layers to mix into new colors instead of mixing paint on the palette. His striking graphical shapes hearken back to the abstract art of the 1960s and 1970s and artists like Josef Albers, yet his winding, dynamic shapes create greater movement in the image.

Anuk Rocha's portrais are captivating, personal and striking. Her stylized faces that meet the viewer's gaze are composed of remembered features of different people, creating an individual which never existed but who is the sum of many people. Reminiscent of the planar faces of the first few decades of the 20th century with artists like Picasso and Amadeo Modigliani, the graphical qualities of her faces give them a strong presence. A graduate in fashion design at ENSAD in Paris, Anuk Rocha honed her drawing skills working for Maison Martin Margiela and Damir Doma before devoting herself to fine art.

Drew Englander (b. 1985) uses bold colors, hard edges and distorted perspectives to create a refreshing view of everyday life. His paintings portray snapshots of interiors where objects and space seem to distort and bend, creating a universe that blends the cartoony with astute observation of the objects that we surround us with on an everyday basis. By envisioning new and surprising ways to look at what we take for granted, he shows us that there is always something surprising and interesting to be found, even where we least expect it.

Danik Manzhos (b. 1997, Ukraine) uses his signature style to create artworks that question our artistic heritage. He uses an airbrush to create his rubber-like characters which are most often posed to mimic famous paintings from the early 20th century. In this painting, a woman, a tiger and a devil reenact Picasso's painting Les Trois Danseuses (The Three Dancers) from 1925. But instead of the rigid, flat and graphical shapes of Picasso, we see bright, shiny and rounded forms reminiscent of plastic tubes or baloons, creating a tongue-in-cheek parody of the classic works that we tend to put on a pedestal.
