Minor Alexander

Minor Alexander works in the border area between art and nature, industry and manual labour as well as reality and illusion. He creates foreign worlds, forms nature from synthetic materials and works on this with industrial procedure technologies like isolation and surface protection. Besides, originates from electrostatic flocking a velvet-soft structure which seems to come from the nature and reminds of moss-covered stones. Minor associates them with the underwater world which he experienced as a child at diving in the Ukraine.

Marie Aly

The paintings of Marie Aly are like dreams in which faces appear and come to life. During the act of painting, where she is mostly guided by intuition, the image pushes itself forward through the many layers of paint. Aly is interested in the history and the role of the iconic image. From the past to the present. From the religious, to the secular renaissance portrait. From the LP cover to the fashion shoot. From the stock photo to the Instagram selfie. Aly’s gang of outsiders also do not show you much personal emotions, but they still tell you a very personal story, they perfectly reflect the contemporary perspective on different cultures, fashion, music, art, private identity, and gender that converge in the panorama of our futureless reality where even the obvious historical referencing assumes a timeless dimension.

Sara Arthur-Paratley (b. 1995, USA) 

is an artist and performer based in Valencia, Spain. Her work moves through dance, sculpture and performance while taking the body as it’s core investigation. Tactility, abjection, humor, and eroticism permeate her practice, which aims to reinvent the thresholds between internal & external, animate & inanimate, self & other.

Nicole Bianchet

Reality is a credible fiction.
I’m interested in the detectable errors: the flaws in the matrix; the boring beauty contrasting the brute; the plausible lies feeding the implausible truth. Daily consumer culture strengthens individual truism pampered by social media. Stroboscopic scraps of horror, desire, happiness and politics are mending to a highly manipulative reality. We no longer believe in fairy tales – and yet we believe in the greatest fable of all time.

Wolfgang Flad

He does not attempt to reproduce an accurate representation of the visual reality, instead, he uses upcycling materials such as art magazines and art books among others to create his abstract sculptures.

The balance between matter and empty space in between elements reminds us of nerve cells. Intentionally or not they are made out of information. Dozens of art magazines are crushed into small pieces and mixed with glue to give form to the basic structure of his art works.

Jeroen Cremers

Jeroen Cremers
In the surrealistic and alienating work of Jeroen Cremers (1972, NL), various influences melt together into a new world view in which modernist stylistic influences merge effortlessly with the history of ancient Egypt, or other ancient cultures.
The sculptures can be recognised because of their animal bodies and are clear references to found statues of ancient gods.
The heads have been abstracted and replaced by strange stacks of geometric shapes. Cubes and pyramids dominate in Cremers’ new sculptures. The combined Shapes refer to the past, but also to elements from science fiction, such as the black monolith from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Jose Antonio Picazo 

Influenced by the the industrial and architectural revolution in our world the work presented here talks about the rhythms inherited, our daily life, about a reality that seems intangible.
The work presented has the universal language of painting, it speaks of repetitions, of saturations, of structures but also of depth, of space, of emptiness, of future, of finally uniting the background with the form.
This work wants to be a representation of the current structures of our lives, with the industrial aesthetics that we have inherited. It also wants to show another way where we can dilute the present structures in another project of society, where the natural environment that surrounds us has more importance, and likewise changing the environment we will be able to progress towards another identity.
In short, it is an exercise in pictorial experimentation, where texture, depth, expansion and layers are studied. It is an attempt to break with the traditional rules in order to find new solutions.

Caro Suerkemper

1984–90 studied at the Staatlichen Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe with Peter Dreher

Jens Wolf

Working with painting on board, Wolf is inspired by the major abstract Modern movements of the 20th century. His work transcends this rich tradition by leaving traces of imperfection and uniqueness behind. Colour, geometry and symmetry are explored through his work. He graduated in 2001 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe under Helmut Dorner and Luc Tuymans.
