Adam Zoltowski
Adam Zoltowski tries to make art in a linguistic way. He seeks to construct concrete sentences, poems, or stories from a tactile vocabulary built from personal elements—objects, processes, and histories. These references include his own body, studio furniture and tools, papers and paperwork, historical art materials from his childhood like Lego and clay, and his autobiographical or historical art-making processes such as polystyrene carving, mould making, fabrication, and drawing.
He aims to locate each object he works on within the broader stream of objects and processes that travel within the same current.
For him, sculpture is the activity of working with scale, material, and reproduction to conjure a dimension where disparate idioms coexist within a kind of dictionary-like framework.
His desire is to transform the object into a ceremonial avatar of its former self—removed from mundane utility and freed into its mythic and poetic potential.

Michael Henley
Michael Henley is a London based artist whose work deals primarily the duality of process and ideas. He uses this partnership to push and experiment with his medium (ink, graphite & light) as much as possible which in turn informs the research and concept of each body of work.
Henley’s fascination with organic bodies and the natural world is a huge influence on his work and through this he aims to create highly detailed pieces that act as portals or, perhaps beacons that invite further inspection wherever they may be.

Coral Churchill
Coral Churchill’s paintings takes inspiration from natural forms reflecting cloud, land and seascapes and merging biomorphic structures and forms. The horizon is a connecting and repeating point, with prismatic light a central focus to create otherworldly spaces. Images are interlinked, sampling different references from natural forms, photography and botanical illustration. The paintings focus colour into chromatic gradients, echoing the refracted light that rounds each day in sunrises and sunsets. Her work is centred in studies of nature, from the iridescence of jewel-like insects to deep sea creatures and their strange neon bioluminescent lights.

Matthew Dardart
I am interested in the language between contrasting materials when situated in the same body. I prefer to work in a more intuitive, less regimented way. My sculptures often build themselves and are very process based in this sense.

Kirti Virmani
Kirti is an Indian multi-disciplinary artist based in London who works in printmaking, photography, and ceramic sculpture.
Influenced by her mother’s challenge to patriarchal norms, her art investigates nature, spirituality, and gender, aiming to offer a contemplative experience.
Deeply connected to natural elements, she engages directly with materials, involving all her senses.
This physicality is evident in her printmaking and ceramics, where she explores natural landscapes, minimalist architectural forms, and symbolic elements.
The circle, symbolizing time, seasons, philosophy, and the universe, captivates me and serves as a central motif in her recent exploration of semiology, iconography, and spirituality.
Her evolving practice towards minimalism is reflected in the current work, where simple, meditative forms foster serene, contemplative experiences that encourage viewers to pause and reflect.
A recent strand of research within her practice, takes a starting point from ancient Indian knowledge, examining how art historically represents culture and its contemporary relevance, especially under patriarchal influences.
Through an interplay of mediums and forms, she creates a dialogue between pieces, inviting contemplation of interconnected ideas and energies.
