Leah Wong - My work maps ideas, activities and memories. They are a dialectic of representation and abstraction, and a mixture of Chinese and Western art and culture influences. I'm interested in multiple layers and like to put figures and objects in ambiguous relationships. Life is layered and that time, space and cultural dimensions exist relationally. The challenge is to decide how to transcribe random moments of daily activities and dots of thought and observation to create layers that shift between memories and existences both abstractly and realistically. Each body of my work conjures up a range of moods that express moments, memories and a journey of self-understanding. I work with multiple pieces at a time. This allows my thoughts to flow and to give time and space for ideas to develop. Visually, the image groups cohere as crowd patterns when viewed from a distance. Up close, these figures and objects fragment into their own relevant spaces. My intention is to interplay a variety of visual forms and gestures and to engage viewers' associations, imaginations and interpretations. ...
Johan Gaellman - I change material and subject now and then. Sculptural works including photography and labyrinthic ideas was my main interest for some time, as well as painting, printmaking and installations. Since 2008 I concentrate on drawing, creating slightly weird portraits, playing with patterns, shapes and lines. /Johan Gaellman ...

Tia Bley - Painting: My recent work, paintings on canvas with Acrylic paint, is done in a Semiabstract-Style, my way to express feelings and ideas about anything that touches me: a notion, a situation, a vision, places, people, landscapes, dreams, tension, conflicts etc. etc. In order to express my feelings i often use strong, vivid colors and color contrasts as well as simplified, bizarre forms. Often my paintings show a kind of a phantastic landscape or remnants of a landscape. Plastic Plankton Installation: Another kind of my work are recycling-art installations made from plastic waste. Plastic bottles, littering beaches or swimming in the water, inspired my imagination and I started experimenting with the material. In the beginning I found it not very enticing and somewhat unruly. However, after some time of experimenting by cutting, assembling, connecting, folding, molding etc.I liked to work with the PET-material. One day I observed its shadows cast on the wall when exposed to the sunlight. I was fascinated by the sight and imagined to form the plastic, making it look like fragile glass membranes that resembled organic forms. If I could imitate the forming process of glass by heating the plastic that would be ...
