Wilame Lima

Wilame Lima is a French-born Brazilian artist whose journey is deeply intertwined with his narrative and the sociopolitical context of his origins Growing up in Aracaju, Brazil, a place marked by the marginalization of its people, Wilame was early on exposed to the limitations imposed on racialized communities His professional beginnings in journalism taught him the importance of technical precision and neutrality in photography Yet, he found this notion of neutrality contradictory, as the news industry often politicizes and dehumanizes subjects This realization propelled him to seek diversity and authenticity beyond traditional journalism. After residing in various countries, including Switzerland, Austria, France, and the United States, Wilame abandoned the quest for neutrality to explore themes of racism, homophobia, and xenophobia with poetic sensitivity, embracing a dreamlike approach to photography,

I created this love themed series to encourage my audience to evaluate their own relationship with love Whether love is lost, found, or forgotten, it takes on many different forms, uniting us universally There is no escaping this innate human need even if only self-love we must confront it

As Orson Welles says: "We’re born alone we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for a moment that we re not alone

Kaushik Dolui

When the soul of human being is dissolved in the heart of nature, the universe slowly consumes the dark sides of human beings. We again come back as a positive person in our society Its endless journey through an unstable world where we stand to balancing our slaves by the rules of the average man standing straight with our imperfections Balancing on the rough ground with our fragile life, sometimes we forcefully stand in an uneven surface with our painful soul and we lived away from meaningful reality

People hide their identity most of the time Socializing him in society by wearing a mask, sometimes it may be black or white. Till the last day every human being’s identity remains undisclosed

APOCALYPSE OF ART / 2011-2013

It is hard to escape the feeling that the "Apocalypse in Art" really shows the world teetered on the brink of death; barren, dilapidated, like a story of the picture splitting into incoherent fragments. People cannot delay the collapse, because they are able, at best, to find and fixate - but not to create

We are trying to find shelter from the impending chaos, hiding behind the rules of etiquette, explaining how to behave at funeral ceremonies, only emphasizing the feeling of fatality - like art, feelings degenerate into meaningless imitation. In fact today we are witnessing the disintegration of basic cultural patterns and mechanisms that determine a spiritual and material civilization appearance over the last century Perhaps, despair and pessimism, covering many of our contemporaries

Of course, I had many occasions to question - don't I give in pseudo-intellectual apocalypse hysteria by myself and isn't my skepticism about the future of contemporary art related to the transformation of art systems in which many people cannot find their place.

PAINTING

Lupo Sol

I no longer know if I'm looking for the right color or to improve the drawing, but in my paintings characters emerge who look sadly at life and wonder why Portraits and scenes from life are the main themes for me I do not paint nature or the beauty of the sun and flowers, in the face of a world that is plummeting I can only continue laughing My painting is a mockery of the human being There is psychology in the faces of my characters but above all a lot of stupidity

Emi Avora

Born in Greece and currently based in Singapore, Emi Avora is drawing subject matter from her everyday life in Asia as well as her Greek ancestry with a focus on a combination of interior spaces still life and landscape Her paintings are entering a dialog with modernist historical canons as well as ponder on our ambiguous relationship to exoticism, our environment, motherhood and the everyday The search for her own rediscovered ‘place’ and ‘identity’ as well as curiosity for the shapes that surround her are elements that occupy her compositions Often her paintings present encounters or ‘conversations’ between seemingly disparate objects or symbols. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes intense and with the use of light on the driving seat, her work employs a range of heightened palettes to allow the viewer space for re-invention, creating a gap between looking and making, between the real and the imaginary By the act of re-imagining, Avora enters into an escapist realm albeit parallel to the real

Indrani Ghosh

My name is Indrani Ghosh I am a contemporary artist based in India Texture, dimension, color, and good design are the basis for my work I am inspired by nature travel, colors of Nature, Architecture, City and Villages I work on expressionistic acrylic paintings and impressionistic impasto oil paintings They are often explosive with color, depth and texture While light and architecture play an important part in how I create a sense of place, I also use color and texture as a way to provoke strong emotions I hope a viewer of my paintings can connect, discover, explore, and take on a journey

My earliest memories involve drawing, watching my mother create life on paper, imagining fairytales and celestial maidens form out of nothing but pencil lines and curves As I grew older I disregarded the fairy tales and stories I had grown up on, trading them for “practical skills and knowledge” as I tried to mold myself into the ideal daughter that my parents wanted me to be

The voicemail icon was one of the three inventions Andre Gray released simultaneously on August 8, 1988, when he launched the internet digital revolution, known as the Internet Big Bang to technology historians and technophiles alike

Gray wrote, produced and uploaded the first song to the internet named Internet Killed The Video Star At that same moment, Gray also released the world’s very first internet bot, which Gray also invented and named inkling–a crawler bot with artificial intelligence In tandem with the inkling bot and the song, Gray released the voicemail logo The purpose of the voicemail logo and functionality was to inform internet users via a voicemail message that the first ever song was uploaded to the internet and netizens were encouraged to download the song (using FTP software) Inkling bot’s purpose was to gather statistics of actual downloads and report those figures back to Gray.

Red Tweny

Born in 1964, Red Tweny is no stranger to high expectations and personal tragedy As the first of two children, his childhood was restricted by an overprotective mother who perhaps imprinted the sense of insecurity and estrangement from reality which has so often factored into both his life and his work.

My artistic muse is intricately intertwined with the splendour of nature the elegance of the human form and the symphony of science and mathematics, all of which serve as the bedrock for my emotional and experiential visions My predominant artistic medium is acrylic painting, yet I also adeptly traverse the digital realm in sculpture furniture creation NFT’s and photography.

Timur Napoles

My work revolves around the quest for the self and is informed by an interest in stories, mythology, symbolism, and the Transcendental Over the years I have realized that a laborious art practice can be a major healing and balancing mechanism as it has proven to be for me, this amazing process of what I call “creation through selfdiscovery” is a path and a way of life that can bring about peace and change My intention is to practice and create a kind of art that heals and transmits a conscious and evolutionary frequency
