Art of Leonard Combier
A work by French artist Leonard Combier is like a riddle that can never quite be solved. Something always slips your notice or escapes your eye, resisting your attempt to unravel every clue. What attracted us to his work is an ongoing project featuring “tattooed” passports of travellers that Leonard has been doing for the last five years. Now he wants to bring an attention for this cause in terms of global situation
“Léonard Combier’s work deals with causality and liberty. In a world where everything interrelates and can only be understood as a vast chain reaction, how is freedom conceivable? This applies as much to the artist who is caught in a system of his own creation, as to the viewer whose gaze finds no exit. The answer, I believe, lies in the Combier’s sense of humour. Humour provides the only solution, a multi-directional vector leading to different levels of interpretation, the choice of which is left up to the viewer. It pervades Combier’s entire work, from the bizarre figures to the comical texts, as the artist’s mischievous playfulness sets the scenes of his different worlds like those in a vaudeville play – save the final twist in the plot, which is never revealed. Yet there is always the mystery contact, whose phone number is etched into each work.”

Architectural Photography by Griselda Duch
Griselda Duch is a photographer specializing in landscape, still life, and architectural photography. She likes to travel around while working for both personal and commissioned projects.
“Being unique among creative and artistic professions, I think architecture is very important. Beyond merely providing shelter, architecture becomes the stage set and context for our lives, and an important influence on our living. Playing between line, shape, and color; the series aims to transport the viewer into a setting. Being drawn to the places we all inhabit and that become frames full of unusual details and combinations, I seek to reveal the role of architecture to endless possibilities, looking for aesthetic sensations where symmetry, light, color, and textures become the main protagonists.”

Abstract Paintings by Alex Kuznetsov
Alex Kuznetsov’s painting practice is concerned with states of flux and impermanence, furthered by research into spatial and temporal concerns in a comparison of social and urban timeframes. His process-led, abstract painting practice employs a tempered gestural language where fluidity is a defining material concern and the process of erasure has equal importance to the intuitive application of paint. This examines states of presence and remembrance by exploring a tension between control and chance.

Hitchcock-inspired interiors by Atelier Aveus
Atelier Aveus shares their stunning 3D interior collection inspired by Hitchcock. In collaboration with 3D artist Ergun Ayral, they created virtual interior environment for the audience to escape inside.
“Hitchcock often represented the physical world as a projection of a disturbed person shown through striking set design and lighting effects. That type of “expressive decor” has been particularly interesting to work on and adapt for this project. Following this approach and cultivating the dramatic potential of the domestic sphere, we staged our new pieces of furniture in a series of visuals, almost conceived as a short storyboard.”
Influx
A mother finds herself sinking into a domestic violent relationship, until an influx of emotions is awakened within her.
‘Influx’ is a poetic short film that sinks into the themes of domestic violence, alcoholism, and love. Inspired by Leslie Morgan Steiner's TED talk: ‘Why domestic violence victims don’t leave’. And by the countless stories of mothers trapped in abusive relationships and the power of love for their children.
This film was made to spark hope and connect with those that find themselves in unhealthy domestic relationships. Given the current situation with the virus lockdown and recent rise in domestic abuse and alcoholism, the importance of having a dialogue with audiences regarding domestic violence is vital.
