"Every once in a while, a movement comes along that completely throws us off and reminds us how visceral art is."

Agnes Grochulska is a contemporary artist working in oils and drawing media. She works across a variety of subject matter, including portraits, figures, and landscapes, with the underlying themes centering around the interconnectedness of all things. Her hope is to create thought-provoking work that is inviting the viewer to reflect on their own place in the world.

"I grew up painting, art has always been a major part of my life. Ever since I could remember, I’ve been painting. My work is inspired by elements such as emotions and perceptions of the world; however, I have always grown up being inspired by the work of George Condo and Willem de Kooning. My figurative, abstract expressionist work is predominantly demonstrated through large-scale portraits constructed by oil, acrylic and ink mediums on canvas."

John Fou is a self-taught artist with a background in the world of live performance and more particularly in the circus, dance and theatre. He has developed a practice of figurative painting in which he stages social relationships between animals of different species, as an allegory of his life and more generally of human relationships. The artist explores the following influences that include mythology, cave paintings, psychology, dance, video games, cartoons and painting, from Géricault to Huguette Caland, via George Stubbs, Piero di Cosimo, Etruscan frescoes and Le Douanier Rousseau.
