ANNE GEENE
annegeene.nl lives and works in Den Haag, Netherland.
Anne Geene's artistic work involves searching for forms, collecting and categorizing nature; she looks for anomalies, works with connections and invents new species. Her medium is photographic printing processes such as the cyanotype. On an art-historical level, she deals with concepts such as possession, completeness, selection and desire and searches for references to the present.

ASTRID STRICKER
lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Astrid Stricker develops model-like spatial systems using a simple set of anonymous structures and bundles of lines, a kind of microcells.
Systematically ordered, interwoven and condensed, lines are first drawn on a sheet of paper and then reshaped with multi-colored plastic and joined together with other structural surfaces to form a three-dimensional sculpture.
Net structures are deliberately created with inclusions of paper and photo remnants, which are derived from photographic preliminary and drawing documents of urban patterns, destroyed buildings,
war reports, construction and planning drawings, are deliberately integrated into the frames, thus referring to the origin of the idea for the respective sculpture.
The title Gestelle describes the fact that these are "holding devices" in the sense of statics, which bring single-surface segments to a standstill by welding them together to form manageable sculptural constellations, drawings laced together that have become space, beyond the constructive, animistic, with leaps and twists, leaning, with the right to imprecision - breathing identity into them.

CAROLINE KRABBE
https://carolinekrabbe.gallery
lives and works in Frigiliana / Spain.
Combining ceramics and drawing as a form of storytelling. Thoughts are communicated with the malleable material. The process requires concentration, patience and trust. It is a very mental approach. After many years of modular drawing on large paper, the figures now emerge from the drawings and meet the viewer as objects made of fired clay.

DeDe HANDON
lives and works in Frankfurt /M, Germany.
In her work "Scars on my Inner Landscape", DeDe Handon investigates how mental and emotional injuries affect our bodies. Emotional injuries do not visualize themselves in places, such as stab wounds, but they are stored in our body memory. What might the inner place where they manifest themselves look like? Could the scars of experienced events also show up on an organ? Do they form an inner scar landscape? And do these scars look similar to those on our outer skin? She was particularly interested in depicting the painful process of a psychological injury that transforms from a freshly injured wound into a scarred, solid, perhaps hardened state and which thus visibly seeks its place inside the body.

ROBERTA LOZZI
lives and works in Milan, Italy.
In her most recent works, Roberta Lozzi puts on paper the emotional states, impressions and reflections that arise from her daily experience and that she finds in the collective dimension of cinematic fiction. In the process of abstraction, she concentrates on the inherent strengths of each element and the resulting dynamics, both within the images and in the familiar relationships between people, objects and situations.
To capture the essence of her visions as freely as possible, she relies on the freshness of drawing, finding in each sketch all the awareness she has acquired over the years through graphic techniques, collage and painting in the environment. Thus she builds large surfaces with rich colors in which a series of black and white figures emerge, becoming smaller and smaller, like fleeting identities immersed in the landscape, while each one remains in its own world. The undefined details leave room for imagination and for a sense of suspension, almost of enchantment, which transforms the scenes into illusory sceneries hovering between dream and reality. The subject of these stills then becomes the boundary between truth and convention, over which their free invention ultimately triumphs.
