Working on large canvases, Knesse incorporates surprising elements, as they might consist of varied forms and shapes. He uses also reclaimed pieces from old tarpaulin from trucks, adding colour on the canvases that might differ in strength or thickness, thus creating a patchwork of sorts. The differing possibilities of the materials open up new avenues of exploration for Knesse, allowing chance, texture and material memory to play an active role in the work.

Douglas Knesse works are constructed from opposing elements that function as contrast and sources of tension to one another. Becoming a counterweight to his pre-used canvases, Knesse’s brighter palette can be seen influenced by the vibrant Brazilian surf and skate culture. Through the vigorous overlapping of colour tones, Kness processes movement and energy, translating physical motion into painterly expression.

Based in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. The Self-taught artist Douglas Knesse combines the inherited cultural language of abstract expressionism, action painting and pop art. He is reconfiguring these with the lens of surfing, skateboarding and the digital age, and through the multidisciplinary, he creates pieces with references also to audiovisual and streetwear.

The transition in Simona’s works carries the symbolism, mysticism and power of culture into the new form - narrating the reimagined tradition, embedded into the works, continues its existence with a stronger connection to the past and its forces.

The soft gradients evident in her painting and aura-like radiances contrast sharp edges and bold shapes, creating a hazy atmosphere that surrounds the subject with a reinvented tradition.

Neo-folkloric costumes in vibrant colours correspond to the digital age and inner shifting of perception. Delicate
threads construct the fabric of our world. Emerging from the past, their infinite weaving unfolds the present before our eyes and alters the future within ourselves first. by @egleconnect

While drawing polymathic connections between disparate fields, Kreyn’s works are steeped in the western tradition of painting. She distills these references into a personal vocabulary of forms and geometries that result in hybrid compositions situated at the intersection of formalism and Romantic painting.

Deriving her technical foundations from old master works, Kreyn reframes these techniques and expands their pictorial vocabulary into a realm of stirring emotional narratives, unique personal histories, and surreal fictions. Her expansive canvases are meditations on nature, the body, and the materiality of time.

Her refusal to title works, a deliberate act of liberation, invites viewers to project their own narratives onto her wildly imaginative botany. Cleaving open otherworldly spaces with her art, Zemánková’s legacy lies in her fantastical elsewhere.

Born in Moravia, Zemánková came of age during the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the birth of an independent Czechoslovakia in 1918. This era fostered a fervent patriotism, marked by a devotion to preserving cultural traditions such as folk costumes, songs, fairy tales, and ornamental drawings. These influences ignited Zemánková’s early passion for painting.

A pivotal figure in the Art Brut pantheon, Zemánková channeled life’s multiplicities into creations that defy categorization. While often compared to mediumistic artists such as Kunz or af Klint, Zemánkova’s work rarely touches on spirituality directly, instead rooting itself in the subconscious, which the Surrealists termed “pure psychic automatism.”
