Suhaylah H. @ TRI YOGA

Though investigating everything from figuration to total abstraction, Suhaylah H. is consistently drawn back to landscapes as a means of exploring the connection between material and immaterial worlds.

Her studies in Environmental Geography and Comparative Literature at university fuelled her obsession with the intersection of landscape and Symbolism. Suhaylah is fond of the term ‘dreamscapes’ frequently given to her art, especially as she often references scenes or ideas from her subconscious. 

The gestures and materials Suhaylah uses in drawing and painting go a long way to maintaining this state of mind and space. It is a subtle creative balance, using the immediacy and density of oil pastels to bring about something ruminative and fluid.

Etta Mac @ LOVE MY HUMAN

Henrietta MacPhee (b.1985, London) is an artist whose practise is centred in clay. Blending the visual and tangible she creates entertaining illusions and a sense of complexity that traverses the border between 2D and 3D. Through a fresh child-like perspective of the world, she portrays scenes of poetic tenderness and humour, interweaving metaphors for embracing life’s diversity of peoples and their cultures.

Her work has been selected for a number of prestigious shows in the UK including ‘Artworks’ organised by the Barbican Arts Group and presenting her work at the International Ceramics Festival in Aberystwyth, Wales as one of four artists selected for the Emerging Makers Award in 2019.

Ella Luben @BENJAMIN MOORE

Ella Luben is an artist based in London whose work explores the relationship between architectonic space, place and time.

The paintings hold a type of tension, a push and pull where edges meet, lines blur and access to the previous layer or space are revealed through vivid openings. The process of reduction and re-layering plays out in different ways, with distance, depth and flatness appearing in different forms. Luben allows the surface to become a place for reflection, where the lines are blurred between the distance of familiar spaces both past and present. The properties of the paintings shift, with the surface, layers, density and composition depending upon her surroundings, however, they are never fully locatable within the painted space. 

Rene Gonzalez @ LOVE MY HUMAN

Bio Rene is a London based artist of Latino background who started painting in the graffiti art scene in Costa Rica as a teenager, before moving to the UK to undertake a BA in Fine Art Painting at City & Guilds of London Art School.

Niamh Birch @ CHINTI & PARKER

Underpinned by a light-heartedness and humour, Niamh Birch’s subject matter nods towards traditional still life whilst addressing everyday associations through mischievous imagery, domestic spaces and thick, impasto lines.

Somewhat reminiscent of Picasso in their juvenility whilst her use of colour and texture is considered. Using mainly oil based materials and collage on canvas and paper, Niamh works from a combination of imagination, memory, drawings and photographs.
