Marc Aronson

“My process relies on the redoing of an image, destroying and restoring. This rephrasing produces a work that is rife with references of the history of its own making. Through the layers of paint an internal light is produced. It is this imagined light that is my memories of a particular place.”

Robin Kerr

"I am an accidental immigrant, which puts you in a sort of limbo. My art reflects that. There is always some sort of mash-up; large shapes and tiny lines, blocks of color and specks of contrast, clean edges and smudges. It’s as though I am positive about some things but guessing at others."

Nicollage

"Striving for the purity of the ineffable or rather, for the transcendent, I am guided by irrational forces and intuition, myths, dreams and mystery, in order to build an endless labyrinth in which even I may get lost. My art practice feels like a perennial exploration of the inner universe."

Primavera Rubata (Degustazione del Vuoto) - Digital collage 60 x 40 cm

Nikola Gocic (born in Nis, 1980) is an architect by profession and a film reviewer, collage artist and film festival curator by passion. He has frequently and successfully collaborated on film-related articles with Rouzbeh Rashidi – the Iranian-Irish filmmaker and founder of the Dublin-based company Experimental Film Society, with five of his essays published in the book Luminous Void: Twenty Years of Experimental Film Society (Dublin, 2020). 

As a collage artist, Gocic has created numerous promotional images for NYC-based underground artist Martin Del Carpio. For Hungarian avant-garde filmmaker Péter Lichter, he designed the poster for a found-footage feature, Empty Horses, which was shown at the 2020 edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam. He has also worked alongside German composer and film director Martin Gerigk on his animated shorts Otonashi (2021), Once I Passed (2022) and Demi-Gods (2022), which have been screened on more than 100 festivals around the globe. Their fourth collaborative effort, Demi-Goddesses, released in 2023.

Four of his solo exhibitions were presented in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, and by the end of 2019, he co-curated the inaugural edition of the International festival of analog experimental cinema Kinoskop in Belgrade, where some of his collages were shown at the closing ceremony. Two of his short comics; ‘Exhausted Peace’ and ‘F Mode’ were exhibited at the Belgrade International Comics Festival in 2018 and 2019. His collage ‘Ultrafantasia: The Spirits Gathering’ was selected as one of the 10 finalists for the Artbox.Project Venezia 1.0 exhibition held in Tana Art Space, Venice, during May of 2022.

Sarah E Edge

"I have always loved nature and being outside in the beauty of a flower garden or a sunset by the lake. I really try to capture that in my artwork. Working in oil, watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, or ink pen, I love having a diversity of mediums to work with on canvas or paper."

Relic - Oil on canvas 12 x 24 in. $2,500

Surrounded by the majestic Rocky Mountains and the pristine beauty of Glacier National Park, a young artist's love for art took root in the picturesque town of Kalispell, Montana. Raised in this breathtaking landscape, she was immersed in an environment that nurtured her artistic spirit from an early age. Her father, a seasoned oil and watercolor landscape painter, served as her inspiration and catalyst for her own artistic journey.

While her love for art blossomed, the young artist initially chose a different path in her early adulthood. Though she dabbled in drawing and painting, her dreams of becoming a professional golfer captured her imagination. Life took her to Palm Desert, California, in her early twenties, where fate intervened, introducing her to her future husband and golf coach. Their love blossomed, and they soon embarked on a journey together, exchanging vows when she was just 24 years old. Shortly after, their first daughter arrived, prompting a decision to relocate to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where her husband's family resided. It was in 2008 that she found herself in this new city, far from the mountains she once called home.

As her husband pursued a law degree at the esteemed TU, she dedicated herself to the role of a devoted stay-at-home mother, caring for their two precious daughters. The artist within her remained dormant for over a decade, but fate had a way of rekindling the creative spark.

When the pandemic swept across the globe, altering lives and shifting priorities, she found herself at a crossroads. The quiet whispers of her artistic inclinations grew louder, prompting her to pick up her pencils and paintbrushes once more. And so, she began to paint again, with flowers serving as her muse. Each intricate stroke revealed a profound attention to detail, captivating the hearts of those who encountered her work. Positive comments flooded her social media channels, and her father's encouraging reviews fortified her confidence.

Armed with newfound courage, she seized the opportunity to share her talent with the world, launching her art business in the summer of 2021. Her paintings, vibrant and filled with life, captured the essence of nature's most delicate creations. Through her art, she embarked on a journey of self-expression, intertwining her love for the natural world with her unique artistic vision.

With each stroke of her brush, she rediscovered the joy that art brought to her life. Her journey exemplifies the resilience and transformative power of passion, reminding us all that sometimes, the path less taken can lead to the most extraordinary destinations.

As she continues to navigate the ever-changing landscape of art, this artist's journey serves as an inspiration to others. Through her story, we are reminded of the inherent beauty of rediscovery and the profound impact art can have on our lives.

Phyllis Chua

"In addition to what I saw and felt in my father’s orchid garden as a child, Eastern and Western cultures, arts and anthropology also gave me a different worldview."

Dancing - Copic makers, technical pen, digital edit 66 x 66 cm 300€

Originally from Malaysia, Phyllis Chua, artist and pattern designer, lives in Taiwan. She graduated from the Department of Anthropology at National Taiwan University.

"I was not determined to become an anthropologist, but instead was fond of colour and design of patterns. Through travel, I visited different countries and explored the diverse and fascinating cultures of foreign people. All these fulfilled my mind and I was therefore looking forward to the worldwide beautiful colors and hoping to share them with more people. I love to collect the treasures of nature, and is full of curiosity and great enthusiasm for the nature.

My inspiration comes from my father's orchid garden as a child, Eastern and Western cultures, travel, arts and anthropology also gave me a different worldview. I am good at using watercolor and a technical pen to create on watercolor paper. The hand-painted style can better present strength, trace and temperature. Sometimes plant rubbings are used to show the richness and layering of the work. In addition to the above, I also like collage for telling inner stories. My creativity is full of passion, and creates unlimited possibilities!!"

Lovers - Copic makers, technical pen, watercolor 27 x 20 cm 150€
