Claudia Fontes is an Argentinean visual artist based in England who explores through her actions, objects and research the poetic space and alternative modes of perception of culture, nature, history and society that emerge from processes of decolonization, be they personal, interpersonal, or social. She is well-known for her work “The Horse Problem” - top art installation at Venice Biennial in 2017. Her recent ceramic sculptures are gripping each other tight as they are transformed into fungus like growths and spores in an eerie but romantic series.

“Impulse embodied in objects sets in motion the imagination, which in turn makes it possible to get in touch with the beginning and feel the primary motive. Continuity does not give rise to cyclicality, but opens up new things without breaking the tradition.“

Designer Konstantin Kofta is back with his new collection of hi-end leather bags INERTIA SS20. As stated by his studio - “We want to allow the viewer to gain different perspective on familiar things through synergizing with our artwork. Our bags serve as a canvas for expressing our creative intentions through properties that they did not initially possess, endowing them with ability to bring aesthetic pleasure, while maintaining functionality.”

Ilka & Franz are a German/ Austrian photo & director duo based in London (UK). Their work blurs the lines between portraiture and still life and is often humorous with an unexpected twist. While their unmistakable use of colour is vibrant and bold, their conceptual undertones are often subtle and of child-like naivety. Ilka & Franz draw their inspiration from pop culture, kitsch and surrealism as they put a playful spin on the ordinary. The duo work on editorial and commercial commissions in the UK and abroad.

At first glance, you see “oil on canvas” depicts youngsters enjoying after-school in a mellow palette of a golden hour. But what Franck Bohbot tricked us to believe, apparently went out as photography. Very talented photography indeed.

Salman Khoshroo, born 1983 in Iran, spent his childhood years in New York. After a few intermittent years in Iran he went to study in the Australian National University, where he received his degree in Digital Art. He currently lives and works in his studio in Tehran mainly with a large palette knife spreading oil colours directly on the canvas. Khoshroo’s paintings harness figurative abstraction to evince very concise figures of emotional tension.

“Mineral” is a new photographic exploration of environmental issues, researched by digital artist Davy Evans. Plastic pollution is a huge threat the climate, and finds its way into every corner of our environment. The iridescent colour pallet has been created in-camera to represent the high oil content used in today's plastic production, which in turn drives the demand for oil.

ALIVE is a graduation work created by Lithuanian designer Marcele Kuliesiute.

,ALIVE’’ is a dynamic object based on biophilic design principles. Biophilia is the innate tendency of a person to seek a connection with nature, other forms of life, or just love for the living. The design object is based on research that rhythm or movement in nature creates a strong impression and a positive impact on the person. The most important thing in the work is the expression of the movement and the emotion. Designer was inspired by the water - the basis and source of all life.

Contemporary portraitist and surrealist painter, Loribelle Spirovski, is set to have her first Solo Exhibition in London at HOFA Gallery. Titled Love, Death and The Time I Knew You, this solo show will assemble select artwork from her most successful collections, showcasing her prolific talent and remarkable growth as a contemporary artist.

Born in the Philippines in 1990, this Australian artist has fascinated audiences at home and abroad with her distinctive style and approach to contemporary portraiture. Though admittedly intuitive, Loribelle's artistic style is also decidedly cerebral, rooted in the myths, music, literature, pop culture and experiences that inspire her and make her art resonate with viewers.

Her most recent works are surreal explorations of the relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit. Inspired by her experiences as a migrant to Australia, you can feel the claustrophobia emanate from the canvas. Employing disjointed bodies and hollow forms, she compels her viewers – who she describes as "meaning makers" to confront and contend with their own emotional abstractions.
