Silk Art Installation by Pokras Lampas
Pokras Lampas performed large silk-based calligraphy art installation presented in the Old House in Shanghai, China
“CHINA, as the epicenter of work with silk, has historically been a place of strength, knowledge and inspiration associated with silk-based arts and crafts, therefore it is symbolic for me to present my first project with this material there.
Working with fashion 5 recent years, I’ve often seen great works with fabrics: prints, patterns, color, rhythm, texture — which is connected with creating bold images and connected not only with art or fashion, but also with non-verbal communication in the new environments, because the artwork speaks of itself better than any words”

Elisa Insua
Born and raised as artist in Buenos Aires, Elisa Insua continues her upcycle practice after moving to Madrid
“Economic studies are based on a series of basic principles: one of them states that, for any given individual, “the more, the better”. My work tries to push this axiom to the limit of excess and abundance, in order to tense it, question it or even defy it.”
“My pieces are about desire, opulence, ostentation and luxury. I apply the concept of the “hedonic treadmill” (the tendency of humans to return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite increases in wealth or the achievement of major goals) and the straight-forward myth of King Midas and his Golden Touch. Social ascent, the “American Dream”, economic inequality, endless irresponsible consumption and the effects of capitalism are also recurring themes.” text from MTArt Agency

Clio Newton
Clio Newton’s approach to her compositions comes from the standpoint of the “female gaze” reflecting her interest in contemporary models of femininity and the representation of women in art and culture. Newton’s renderings in compressed charcoal feature larger-than-life, figurative subjects - often solo sitters - who fill the picture plane and beyond. Her works are remarkably realistic compositions informed by bold choices and her interest in the uncanny.

May Parlar Photography
“Berlin-based photographer and video artist May Parlar often uses outdoor open spaces for her impressive fine art photographs. She creates performative images exploring the human condition and the nomadic experience of ‘being’ in constructed realities. The idea of self, time & memory, the notions of belonging and alienation are recurrent themes in her practice.”
“I work across different mediums such as photography, film, performance art, sculpture, installation, and landscape art; and all of which gets merged in the end and put together with a glue that for me is the camera”
Blair Martin Cahill
“There are layers in all we see, do and present in our lives. These are the elements which we want to show, conceal, or perhaps only hint at. What is revealed is equally important to what is not, and both are needed to capture an entire vision.” - Blair Martin Cahil

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.
