Featured Artists
Mengwei Chen
London based Chinese multidisciplinary artist working across painting, installation, paper cutting, comics and moving image. She completed an MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths in 2025. Her practice reactivates the fading paper cutting motifs of East Asian folk ritual within contemporary visual culture, and has been exhibited across the UK, Europe and Asia.
Parasite
Acrylic and spray paint on canvas, 80 x 60 cm, 2025
Parasite uses paper cutting as a stencil for spray paint. Once the figure is lifted, what remains is a shape formed through absence. The central form is deliberately left unresolved, hovering between presence and absence, familiar enough to recognise yet never settling into anything the eye can finally name.
Qinyue Chen
Qinyue Chen, who also works as Shuyang, is a London based artist working across painting, photography and installation. Trained at the China Academy of Art and Goldsmiths, she draws on Lacanian psychoanalysis, phenomenology and feminist theory to explore memory, intimacy and the body. Her work has been exhibited in Beijing, London, Milan, Melbourne and New York.
The Vile Wind
Oil on linen canvas, 45 x 55 cm, 2025
Born from a dream following the end of an intimate relationship, a vision of cosmic collapse in which familiar structures shatter. Working within Turner's tradition of atmospheric light, the painting sets a luminous centre against black fissures. A softly glowing female profile emerges below, suspended between destruction and survival.
Love Will Reburn from Ash
Love Will Reburn from Ash
Silver leaf and pastel on linen canvas, 46 x 56 cm, 2026
A continuation that turns from destruction towards regeneration. Drawn from a later dream in which all matter dissolves into flowing metallic substance, the surface renders emotion as something fluid and shifting. The cracks soften into bruises on a healing body, renewal transforming damage rather than erasing it.
Sophie Huang
Mechanical Echoes
Mechanical Echoes
An emerging artist from Hong Kong, now based in the United Kingdom, working across painting, drawing, digital art and new media. Her practice explores abstraction through the transformation of observed forms, deconstructing engineered structures into geometric fragments and reassembling them. She works primarily in charcoal, drawing from photographs taken on site.
Mechanical Echoes
Mechanical Echoes
Mechanical Echoes
Charcoal on paper, 59.4 x 84.1 cm, 2025
Mechanical Echoes began with photographs taken at the Royal Air Force Museum London. Aircraft structures are broken into geometric fragments and reorganised into a new composition. Machines usually associated with precision reveal unexpected rhythms once fragmented, inviting viewers to construct their own reading rather than recognise a fixed image.
Elena Kim
Elena Kim
Elena Kim
Elena Kim lives and works in London, working across painting, sculpture and printmaking. Her practice explores scale, spatial possibility and the boundaries at which different states meet. She studied at Goldsmiths, University of London, and is currently a BFA student at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. She is a recipient of the Urbanest Art Prize 2026.

Elena Kim
Paper, 21 x 30 cm, 2025
The work is read from above, the way a plan is read. Holding a thin line of demarcation between painting and sculpture, it sits so close to invisibility that it feels almost imagined, existing not as a mark but as pressed and raised architecture that appears and disappears with the angle of light.

Untitled
Paper and wooden frame, 21 x 30 cm, 2026
A thin material bears a grave weight. Funeral rituals have long embodied the achromatic, in white chrysanthemums and lilies, and in the attire worn by the bereaved. Here the reverse of the embossed print is framed, an image transferred between two surfaces, each the reflection and inversion of the other.
Yijin Li
First Layer
First Layer
A multidisciplinary artist working across painting, installation, sound and spatial practice, exploring perception, intuition and artistic making as ways of knowing. Through three interconnected spaces, The Playground, Xiang and The Blue Room, she investigates vitality, the perceptible manifestation of the intangible, and the emotional traces that shape how we encounter the world.
First Layer
First Layer
First Layer
Oil on canvas, 76 x 76 cm, 2026
Two years ago Li began a large scale painting from a dream of alien like birds, then abandoned it. Returning to an early photograph of the unfinished canvas years later, she found that its essence had been there from the start. First Layer reimagines that work as both self portrait and reflection on growth.
Xun Liu
Stirring Dust
Stirring Dust
A London based artist studying MA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, having previously completed a BA at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. Working across painting and installation, she explores how uncertainty shapes experience and ways of seeing, creating open situations that invite audiences into moments that remain unfixed and unnamed.
Stirring Dust
Stirring Dust
Stirring Dust
Acrylic and liquid latex on canvas, 70 x 50 cm, 2026
Stirring Dust explores perception, time and presence through the language of painting. Layers of colour, gesture and textured surface suggest states of emergence, dissolution and transformation. Different temporalities coexist within the work, and as distance, attention and duration of looking change, so does the experience of the painting.
Anindia Pradita
Anindia Pradita
Anindia Pradita
An emerging Indonesian artist based in London, holding a BArch from Tarumanagara University and an MArch in Design for Performance and Interaction from the Bartlett School of Architecture. Her practice departs from embodied inquiry, working through the automatism of drawing to bring the immediacy of the body to the surface, before extending into spatial and performative contexts.
Timang
Anindia Pradita
Anindia Pradita
Charcoal and watercolour on paper, 50 x 35 cm, 2026
Timang draws from the Indonesian word for cradling, the tender act of holding and, at times, gently rocking something without trying to fix it in place. It speaks of the movement between depth and surface, between control and release, where the resonance of warm caresses glimmers through shadowed folds of what once was.
Fanjie Qu
An emerging artist based in Shanghai, working also as Jay Qu, with a sustained studio practice of five years. His work draws on Nüshu, the women only script of Jiangyong in Hunan Province, translating its pictographic strokes into abstracted gestural line across mixed media on paper, combining pigment, cutting and collage.
Life, Death, Love, Joy
Pigment on watercolour paper and board, 56 x 76 cm, 2026
This painting takes four Nüshu characters as its starting point. These themes run through every life and hold particular weight for women. The abstracted strokes echo warm feminine colours, showing that women are not only gentle and soft but also full of hope, vitality and inner strength.
Sadness, Joy, Affection, Thought
Sadness, Joy, Affection, Thought
Pigment on watercolour paper and board, 56 x 76 cm, 2026
Four further characters form the basis of this work. The women of Jiangyong once conveyed emotion through this script, and Qu seeks to express himself in the same way. The painting holds the mixed feelings of growing into adulthood, confusion, anticipation, doubt and delight, in green, yellow, orange and black.
Zhongyi Sun
Shan He (River and Mountain)
Shan He (River and Mountain)
Zhongyi Sun lives and works between London and Shanghai, holding an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Sculpture from Shenyang Normal University. His painting practice takes the body as its subject, approaching it not as a stable form but as a state of continual collapse, deformation and generation.
Shan He (River and Mountain)
Shan He (River and Mountain)
Shan He (River and Mountain)
Print on linen, 55 x 60 cm, 2022
Shan He unfolds around the boundaries of the body. The subject resembles both a human figure and rivers, mountains, or some form of life that has yet to take shape. Influenced by qi yun and freehand ink painting, the work asks whether the body comes closer to reality once it is no longer complete.
Miao Tan
Miao Tan holds a BA in Painting from Minzu University of China and an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art. Her practice spans drawing, collage and material based exploration using natural lacquer. An Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society, she has exhibited widely in London, including at Mall Galleries and Bankside Gallery.
Fly
Mixed media on paper, 76 x 56 cm, 2024
Fly brings wing like greens together with a profound, light absorbing black. It emerged without a predetermined outcome, forming gradually through Tan's responses to bodily perception, tactile experience and material behaviour. Rather than controlling the materials, she follows their transformation, interested in their fluidity, instability and autonomy over time.
Yuesong Wang
Verfremdungseffekt III
Verfremdungseffekt III
Yuesong Wang lives and works between Guangzhou and London. He received his BA and MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London, and is currently studying Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art. His early practice centred on installation and film, constructing fictional structures to examine how social systems shape everyday experience.
Verfremdungseffekt III
Verfremdungseffekt III
Verfremdungseffekt III
Mixed media, 130 x 90 x 37 cm, 2026
Verfremdungseffekt III explores how blurred urban imagery and expanded frames reshape the act of viewing. The indistinct painting resists fixed recognition, creating a state of delayed understanding. The frame becomes an extension of the painting, built from layered and contrasting materials that draw on Brecht's alienation effect.
Weina Xu
Beyond the Stream
Beyond the Stream
Weina Xu studied Interior Design and Fine Art at Shanghai University, graduating in 1997. Her early career in China was established in interior design, a discipline that refined her sensitivity to space, texture and atmosphere. She moved to Suffolk in 2008 and has devoted herself to painting since establishing her studio there.
Beyond the Stream
Beyond the Stream
Beyond the Stream
Acrylic and oil pastel, 43 x 43 cm, 2025
Beyond the Stream is born from a hometown that vanished a decade ago yet continues to live vividly in memory. What remains is not the landscape but the emotional terrain. The title comes from the Book of Songs, in which the one who is sought appears always across the water, glimpsed but never reached.
Hongil Yoon
Hongil Yoon
Hongil Yoon
Hongil Yoon lives and works between London and Seoul, holding an MFA from the Royal College of Art. His work traces the drifting residues of emotion that elude capture within contemporary visual culture. Recent exhibitions include Spectral Presents in London and The Blair Witch Project at Saltspace Gallery, Glasgow.
High Tide
Hongil Yoon
Hongil Yoon
Oil on canvas, 36 x 64 cm, 2026
High Tide is a metaphor for witnessing emotion rising within another person, translating that swell through the imagery of the tide, a natural force in which rigid structures dissolve into fluid motion. The work reaches for the unseen emotional truths beneath human relationships, touching the intangible through the tangible.
Xin Yue
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis
A London based interdisciplinary artist and researcher with a background in architecture and jewellery design, holding an MRes from the Royal College of Art. Working primarily with lampworked glass, her practice based research draws on Eastern philosophy to explore liquid identity, impermanence and the relationship between self, nature and cosmos.
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis
Lampworked glass, 42 x 58 cm (framed), 2026
Metamorphosis is a group of lampworked glass works moving between jewellery, sculptural object and spatial installation. Treating transformation as a fluid state of becoming rather than a fixed outcome, motifs of butterflies, phoenixes and fire become abstract vessels for renewal, holding traces of movement, heat, breath and light.
Yinuo Zhang
An emerging artist based in the UK, working across watercolour, acrylic, textiles and drawing. Her practice draws deeply on Chinese traditional cultures, with a particular interest in the visual languages of ethnic minority traditions, exploring the body as a site of cultural inscription where perception, identity and the fluid boundaries of the self meet.
Guan (Gaze)
Watercolour on paper, 60 x 40 cm, 2026
Guan is an act of inner looking. A face surfaces from shifting layers of watercolour, its eyes meeting the viewer with quiet stillness while the surrounding form dissolves into atmosphere. Rather than resolving into a fixed portrait, the work dwells in the space between emergence and dissolution.
