Nicola Bergamaschi

I’m an Italian self-taught artist based in London. I work across traditional and digital media and love to experiment with techniques and materials. The work I am presenting is from a series focused on fictional characters in interior spaces where time seems to stand still. These characters are completely immersed in their own thoughts and are surrounded by various objects from fruit to plasticine to iconic design objects which further enhance the enigmatic quality of these moments. The two pieces are acrylic on canvas and form a one of a kind set. My upcoming series of works are inspired by this series but focuses solely on interior space and uses a combination of oil paintings and VR experience.

Michelle Loa Kum Cheung

Recently relocating from Australia to the UK, Michelle Loa Kum Cheung's practice is the fragmentation and fabrication of past and place, real or imagined. Much of her imagery is derived from borrowed memories and second hand experiences, particularly of the natural world as a symbol of constant transience. Her art is a response to the artist's own dislocation from her cultural heritage, and her identity as an Australian with a Chinese Mauritian background. Loa Kum Cheung's practice is largely focused on painting and two-dimensional works and in her current practice, Loa Kum Cheung favours the raw materiality of wood and paper as a base, due to its permeability under heat.

Jing Tan

Jing is a Chinese artist currently doing her graduation from Royal College of Art. Her works are centred around the concepts of absurdity and reality. Exploring these, leads to questioning the boundaries of reality and normality. Her artistic practice includes a vast repertoire of media, from mixed-media, textile, sculpture to creating interactive objects and paintings.  Jing offers the viewer an opportunity to experience ordinary things in a new light through her artworks which are inspired by everyday objects and re-contextualized. Her artistic language also includes a great deal of humour, absurdity and irrationality. She is particularly interested in dissecting convention and the properness of an object in order find a way to make it playful and disruptive.

Anta Germane

Anta is a sculpture and installation artist with particular interest in light installations, site specific work and public spaces. After spending a couple of years in London, she started exploring the themes of contemporary city and its relationship to industrial history. Looking for various repetitive patterns in urban areas and using them as a basis for prints, light boxes, sculptures and installations she explores how mass production is intertwined with the fabric of the city and our lives on a level that goes beyond consumer products. “The Net” uses architectural line patterns from housing estates, looking at council flats in particular.
