Realism and Abstraction in Contemporary Japanese Painting

Japanese artist Taeko Tsunoda's paintings are unique and versatile, combining elements of realism and abstraction. Through this mix of styles, she conveys a wide range of emotions and moods, making her work appealing to a wide audience.
Her ability to navigate between realism and abstraction allows the artist to accurately capture recognisable themes while experimenting with form, colour and composition to evoke more subjective and emotional responses. This stylistic duality adds depth and complexity to the work, offering the viewer multiple entry points to engage with the art on different levels.

Tsunoda has won numerous exhibition awards and has participated in many exhibitions worldwide, including Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Germany and Switzerland.

Taeko Tsunoda is represented by Smart Ship Gallery. The gallery was established in 2011 in Tokyo. Smart Ship presents international works by contemporary artists under the guiding principle that individual dignity and identity can be constructed and communicated through art. It believes that art is related to society and reflects social realities.

Rick Stevens and Alexandra Eldridge

Curious Conjurings

This series combines the artistic worlds of two great American artists. Alexandra Eldridge's work is full of literary references and allusions to myths, archetypes and fairy tales. She uses symbolic and dream-like imagery to stimulate the imagination, while landscapes are a recurring theme in Rick Stevens' work.
Rick Stevens' compositions range from stylised representations to more abstract paintings, always maintaining a mystical approach. His mystical approach to abstraction transcends the boundaries of direct representation.
Alexandra Eldridge explores the great themes of life - consciousness and unconsciousness, fear and love, memory and dreams - in an ethereal realism. In her process of mapping and layering meaning, Eldridge draws on a variety of literary and philosophical sources.
The artists are represented by NoonPowell Fine Art, London.

Phumulani Ntuli

Crossroads: New Art from Africa

Phumulani Ntuli's work combines artistic research, sculpture, video installation and performative practices, always addressing different audiences and seeking to make visible gaps, ruptures, silences, pauses and remnants of history. His work is concerned with fictional geographies, simulations, archives and representations. He explores these themes through the collision of documentation and fiction in collages, performances and video installations, questioning the format of objective media in the representation of historical events and situations within a geopolitical imagination. Phumulani Ntuli is represented by Reku Art Gallery, Madrid.

Victoire d'Harcourt

Balancing the world on silk string

French artist Victoire d'Harcourt often expresses a dual feeling in her work: strength and fragility in a precarious balance. A sculptor, painter and photographer, Victoire d'Harcourt has a penchant for pushing the boundaries of reality. Victoire d'Harcourt recomposes her images with large areas of colour. Inspired by large spaces and architecture, Victoire combines techniques to create compositions that combine figuration and abstraction. She creates intimate sculptures as well as monumental works that form alliances in their balance. Victoire d'Harcourt is represented by Ange Monnoyeur Gallery from Paris.

Luco Cormerais

Sculpture sur papier un nouveau Faust quantique ?

Luco Cormerais began his artistic career as a stone sculptor. Since 2012, he also works as a sculptor on paper, which he cuts in a unique way with repetitive cuts and then expands into a three-dimensional graphic composition. Luco Cormerais is rethinking aesthetics. His works appear as wave-like structures that neither reflect nor absorb light, but instead radiate it. A passionate disciple of quantum physics and philosophy, Luco gently and poetically arranges particles like waves in a field. His work stabilises the dance of atoms in a very thoughtful and emotional way.
