Working in ceramics, glass and metal, Andrea Walsh creates objects that celebrate the ancient and alchemical qualities of her materials. By exploring ideas of containment and value through her considered, tactile objects, she prompts viewers to engage in a spontaneous interaction with her work.

Saroyan’s work has been featured in museums and galleries in the US, Europe, India and the Middle East. In Los Angeles, his work has been featured in shows at LACMA, Commonwealth and Council, the As-Is Gallery, and the Hammer’s Biennial Made in LA: a, the, though, only, for which he wrote the subtitle.

Combining embroidered linen with pigment washes and etching, Chant uses techniques of erasure and negation to arrive at ambiguous, atmospheric landscapes. His work focuses on the inherent potential of the in-between, a place of imaginative engagement and a nascent state of emergence.

The work of Helen Frankenthaler and the Color Field painters of the 1960s and 70s have been influential to Roberts, whose paintings feature large swaths of uninterrupted color – a melange of different tones which seem, suddenly, to crystallize into areas of figuration: a flower, leaf or lily pad appearing from the depths.

Each piece “starts with chaos, where anything can happen,” and slowly evolves over days and months, becoming more refined and distilled to its essence. Following Taoist principles, Boorsma tries “only to act when it comes from within. It is a process in which the painting finds its own form.”

There is an intrinsic connection to the passage of time in Halstrøm’s work. Her laborious stitches force the viewer to pause, and to pore over the work’s surface. “I feel that my final pieces reflect a sense of time and an anonymous presence of effort,” she says. “There are no short cuts."

Quinn's works appear as visual haikus, sharing a universal form and offering endlessly variable imagery; each a unique piece, yet part of a wider whole. The familiar format allows Quinn to focus entirely on the painting itself, moving beyond conscious thought to reach an instinctive, meditative state.

Dot's distinctive approach to painting embodies structural compositions and a reductive palette, searching for a place of stillness and meditation. The drive to simplify is strong and reflects her belief in a spiritual and minimal approach to life.

Ekun Richard relishes rich, earthy tones that celebrate the physicality of nature. Working with oil on canvas, his pieces exhibit a natural warmth and gentle sense of wit.

Through a fascination with the imprint left by humans on the earth, Casasempere draws on archaeology, geology, landscape and classical and modern architecture to subvert sculptural archetypes, while speaking to urgent global ecological and social concerns through the lens of his native Chile.

As designers, interior architects, and architects, Clio and Olivier stand out for their passion for craftsmanship and raw materials, which they harmoniously incorporate into projects that celebrate the human touch and local know-how.

Since 1985, Garry Fabian Miller has made cameraless images, essentially abstract photography without camera or film, exploring the possibilities of image-making in works that continue to acknowledge the rhythms of nature and passing of the seasons.

Grace Watts creates dynamic compositions in oil, acrylic and graphite on canvas. Her pieces are inspired by a philosophy of self evolution, and many begin with a period of focused research into philosophical texts.

For Russel and Plumb, the distinction between art and design is blurred and interchangeable, both in their own work and in their perception of the world. A table becomes an artwork, or a sculpture becomes a chair.

To be in contact with the canvas can be “a fight” for Besançon, evoking strong emotions and “strange sensations”. His practice is not a direct response to personal events, and he avoids offering a rigid framework in which the art should be understood, preferring to contextualise painting as its own language.

Spanning minimalist presentations and classical still lives, painter John Zabawa is not married to any school or style – instead, he seeks the best way to convey his message, to express something of himself and his process.

Koo Bohnchang dedicates much of his practice to capturing the passage of time. His celebrated series Vessels, taken over the course of 13 years, studies the frailty and beauty of Joseon-era baekja which Koo visited in major museums around the world.

Krista Mezzadri explores the potential of monotype printmaking on diaphanous Japanese paper, which she layers on top of one another to create a buildup of interlocking patterns and tone. Her autodidactic method grew from a desire for greater control, having moved from working in watercolours to printmaking.

London-based artist Liam Stevens works in layered pigment washes with pencil on canvas, and constructed reliefs. His creations are composed of repeated lines and forms, creating a sense of rhythm in the negative space.

Oda’s serene, emotive sculptures reflect her fascination with fluid lines and natural forms, in materials such as jesmonite, resin and ceramics. “My work says more than I can with words.”

Lee’s work — which comprises oil paint on canvas, as well as collages of natural fiber, fabric, and plaster on shaped canvas — explores the delicate relationships of individual entities as they relate to the whole, translated by way of the broad and recurring theme of coexistence.

Sculptor Nadia Yaron carves weighty, organic forms from wood, stone and metal in her home studio in Hudson, New York. Her pieces are hewn with chainsaws and grinders, a necessarily violent practice that contrasts with the tranquil sculptures.

Nancy Jiseon Kwon creates ceramics, textiles and works in glass that are rooted in tradition and ritual. From ancient Korean stoneware and hemp burial gowns, to Etruscan votive offerings and Neolithic petroglyphs, her pieces are informed by a long tradition of ceremonial objects created from organic materials.

Hodge studied fine art and critical studies at Central St Martin’s before embarking on her solo practice. She gained a postgraduate diploma in fine art at Goldsmiths College in 2015, which she pursued alongside working at the Government Art Collection as a curator. Since 2018, she has pursued her practice full-time.

Paul Philp is a studio potter who has been making ceramics for over 50 years. Building everything by hand, he is free to create the forms his imagination requires, beyond the restraints of a potter’s wheel.

Yoon brings her experience in metalwork, textiles, ceramics, woodworking and resin-casting to create enigmatic objects that sit at the intersection of art and design. She studied arts and crafts at Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul and opened her own studio in 2017.

Stapleton’s eye for organic form and the implicate geometry of the natural world allows him to recognise the continuity between human making and living systems. These are images that express a quiet reverence for existence.

Auberson is inspired by the entire visual world, particularly the colours she finds in nature, travel, and film, and the physicality and materiality of the paintings themselves. Her compositions are intentionally open, an invitation to the viewer to become an active participant in their resolution.

Favouring the direct carving method of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, Collins works immediately into the stone, hewing simple gestures, arrangements and movements while reconciling irregularities and imperfections in the material to arrive at the final form.

Kaye Rodden’s sculptural pieces are grounded in a deep appreciation for her raw material, which range from leather of varying shades to ancient bog oak. “My great great grandfather was a tanner and saddler in Yorkshire, and my desire to work with traditional materials, particularly leather, stems from this connection with my past."

Fung’s artistic process is characterised by spontaneity and his use of natural materials. “I love to work with the elements I find around me,” he says. “I might use soil for pigment, and water from a lake; I paint instinctively, often starting with a small detail that evolves."

In studying the interactions between light, form and colour, British artist Will Calver’s still lifes convey the quietude and subtle monumentality of everyday objects.

Combining science, philosophy and art – as they often were in the past – Woo has a particular interest in the mechanics of light. He draws upon the discoveries of his own time, in particular, quantum mechanics and the recent revelation that light is both a particle and a wave.

Yoona Hur is a ceramic artist based in Seoul and New York. Inspired by the full breadth of Korean ceramic history, from ancient earthenware to the white porcelain of the Joseon dynasty, her pieces both preserve and reinterpret this cultural heritage.
