Maverick Abac's practice explores painting and collages on various media as a reflection of his consciousness and upbringing. Navigating the realm of memory, his works are known best for their pop surrealist meditations of our individual and collective psychological experiences.

Juli Baker and Summer (Chanaradee Chatrakul Na Ayudhya) is a dynamic Thai artist, writer, and traveller whose work bursts with vivid, almost abstract colour palettes that evoke the warmth of summer. Her emotive brushstrokes create a rich narrative of her observations and experiences—from personal memories and everyday conversations to her travels and favourite books. Each piece is a page from her visual journal, blending pop culture, politics, and social commentary. Juli Baker and Summer also infuses her writings with snippets of her own handwriting, illuminating her dual identity as a storyteller and diarist.

Xooang Choi(b. 1975) has been creating works that unfold various phenomena arising in the relationship between individuals and society through realistic depictions of the human body. His works possess the power to evoke tactile sensations that resonate thoroughly with viewers’ hearts, prompting them to reflect on the world they live in and the situations they find themselves in. In the recent works, Choi examines the process of actively embracing various intermediate parameters within the artwork, moving away from a subjective position of making sculptural decisions to expand concepts and forms encompassing regions, histories, places, and memories.

He has held solo and group exhibitions at prestigious galleries and museums both domestically and internationally, including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea; Sungkok Art Museum; Gwangju Biennale; Changwon Sculpture Biennale; Yeosu International Art Festival; Doosan Gallery Seoul and New York; Hakgojae Gallery; Gallery SP; Space So; Yoon Seon Gallery; Musee d'Ansembroug (Belgium); Art Seasons gallery (Singapore); National Centre for Contemporary Arts (Moscow, Russia); Vestfossen Museum (Norway); Brandts Museum (Denmark); Jewish Museum (Berlin, Germany); Galerie Albert Benamou (Paris, France); Musée de la Halle St Pierre (Paris, France); Fine Art Gallery of Luxun National Institute (Shen Yang, China), among others.

 A JiHye abstractly depicts the inner energy that blossoms from her subconscious in her works. She primarily works with acrylic and colored pencils, utilizing striking contrasts of vivid colors to convey a sense of brightness and vitality—one of the defining characteristics of her art.
 Beyond her personal artistic practice, A JiHye is also the co-founder and designer of the design studio Sparks Edition. Additionally, she is an active member of Spectrum Object, a collective of creators from various fields. Through Spectrum Object, she explores the intersection of visual art and diverse cultural content, particularly music, translating these inspirations into paintings. In 2017, she produced a series titled Layer along with an accompanying art book, and more recently, she has been working under the theme BLOOMERS, expressing forms in the act of blooming. In 2019, she co-curated the exhibition DANCING BLUE at AvenueL Art Hall alongside her creative and life partner, artist Jun-Oh Jang. The exhibition was an attempt to capture their respective artistic expressions and individuality through shades of blue.
Through Sparks Edition, A JiHye has contributed to the branding and artwork for various musicians, including BTS’s fourth studio album MAP OF THE SOUL: 7, 10cm, and LE SSERAFIM. She has also worked on brand identity projects such as IOPE, demonstrating her ability to transcend genres and disciplines, consistently delivering innovative visual creations across different fields.

Haafiz Shahimi (b.1986) known as APIS, whose interdisciplinary work spans through printmaking and performance art. APIS began exploring pyrography print in 2014, developing a unique style rooted in Malaysian print and textile traditions. Inspired by batik printing, he created metal matrices depicting cultural and mythological imagery, heated and applied to surfaces like canvas and jute. His experimental approach to temperature variations led him to explore new pyrographic techniques, blending art with scientific principles of thermodynamics. APIS’s work often delves into dualities—science and mythology, East and West, physics and philosophy—establishing him as a boundary-pushing figure in contemporary Malaysian art.

Through his innovative techniques, including pyrography, inverted burn, and direct chemical and petrol burns, APIS has introduced a unique fusion of traditional and industrial materials to his practice. Recently, he combined automotive paint with pyrographic methods to produce vibrant, reflective pieces for Art Central Hong Kong, creating visuals with accidental markings and intentional deconstruction. After a decade, he also returned to the meticulous process of rod-based pyrography to evoke the appearance of charcoal lines, as seen in his recent work, "Desire", which showcases the culmination of his 13-year journey. APIS's impact lies in his transformative approach, which continues to challenge conventional art practices and redefine the scope of Malaysian contemporary art.

Attempts to interpret the image of flowers as a visual language of emotion, exploring the theme of “recording emotions through flowers.”

Pannaphan Yodmanee
b.1988, Thailand

Pannaphan Yodmanee combines found objects, natural elements such as rocks and minerals, and painted elements that recall traditional Thai art and architecture. The artist examines the relevance of Buddhist philosophy to our lives. Through her works, she explores Buddhist philosophy and cosmology. Utilising a combination of raw, natural materials with found objects of contemporary origin, her works imbue the painted designs and motifs endemic to traditional Thai art with the universal and persistent themes of loss, suffering, devastation, and the karmic cycles of death and rebirth.

My faint light bent in a wavering arc. Swaying with unease and fragility, I barely traced a dim glimmer. I moved toward the light—clear in aim, but lost in direction. I gradually developed a sense for detecting and escaping the abyss of despair and the weight of its repeating patterns. Each crisis sharpened my acuity. I responded finely, moved in subtle steps. What may seem like reckless intuition was swift judgment, honed by time. The hours carved into my heart fed my intuition, nurtured my sensitivity. I evolved, bracing for the next trial. Sensitivity became my chosen trait— a way to survive, a skill to catch even the faintest light. I twisted, reached, and stretched as far as I could. Through the ground, into the sky. I bask in everything. /Text. DuRi Baek

Vassily Kandinsky pioneered abstract painting in the early 20th century. He believed that geometric forms, lines, and colors could express the inner life of the artist—a theory quite evident in his own explosive paintings, which were often inspired by music. Today, Kandinsky’s canvases sell for tens of millions at auction and belong in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Tate, among other prestigious institutions. In 1911, Kandinsky played a central role in organizing Der Blaue Reiter, a group of avant-garde artists in Munich that included Franz Marc and Paul Klee. From 1922 to 1933, he taught at the Bauhaus, the historic Weimar institution that brought together artists including Josef Albers, Lazlo Maholy-Nagy, and Piet Mondrian.

Surachai Mawornkanong, also known as Niam Mawornkanong, is an established
Thai artist specializing in intricate acrylic painting on canvas. He used his art to captivate audiences' attention then set them free to explore their own subconsciousness.
Though possessing degrees in philosophy and fine art, the majority of his technique
is self-taught and compliments the fact that he is colorblind. His work also displays a
versatile vision ranging between abstract principles and realistic portraiture.


The artist Lee Seokyoung, who expresses the ventilation of everyday life through her painting work, transforms the complex state of daily life into expansive colors and uses the technique of "erasing to draw" on the wet surface of the paint, leaving only visual language and sensory experience. The process of revealing the broad colors on the white canvas creates a space where the body of the painting can take control. The live brushstrokes, made in a single sweep without layering multiple coats, demand the artist's intense concentration and create a composition that breaks free from conventional and rigid systems. In this process, by erasing between the wet paints, the work is not obliterated but reborn through exposure, transforming into a neutral and pure form of language.

Eunju Jeong is an abstract artist currently living and working in Daegu, South Korea. After graduating from a Masters degree in Western Painting at Kyemyung University, Eunju Jeong studied abroad at HBK Braunschweig in Germany, where she reached a deeper dimension in her color surface abstract paintings through a calm and stable exploration of the feelings and sensations of color. The artist focuses on expressing her inner flow through various colors that surface the canvas, and has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in various cities at home and abroad (need the names), working both on various flat works and semi-cubic sculptures. For over 30 years, Jeong's work has gone through a process of transformation, from painting to semi-cubic abstraction on acrylic and wooden boards, to a return to painting on canvas. To this day, she continues to work on imagining, contemplating, and dreaming through material and physical attributes, while evoking the emotional and tangible, as well as sensing what cannot be verbalized, codified, or most importantly, reproduced. Jeong's paintings are similar in appearance to chromatic abstraction through the  paint smears, brushstrokes, layers of color, the subtle spaces and crevices they create, the trajectory of the paint as it flows toward the floor by the law of gravity, and the way it smears and solidifies. It also allows us to see the myriad traces of the painting's progress and the passage of time that reveals all of its processes. These dense, wet paintings, with their cool, bold brushstrokes, are at once highly performative and a longing for a representation of a world that cannot be represented, a world that lies outside of visibility but is clearly felt and sensed. At the same time, they are paintings with impressions and tones that evoke a very specific empathy with the beautiful nature.

Yujin Lee (b. 1986) is a visual artist and a collaborator living and working on Jeju Island, South Korea, where she also runs an experimental artist residency named Next Door to the Museum. Guided by the rural life on the island, her practice revolves around ecological thinking and relationship building.

Seo Yewon reconstructs invisible sound into a visual order. Arranging objects on hanji as if notating them in a score, the artist builds an auditory structure within painting. Sonic images—such as musical instruments, explosions, and elements of nature—take form as ordered visual elements through precise depiction and restrained composition, capturing and fixing the moment when intangible sound becomes visible within the image.

Qwaya is an artist who has built a distinct painterly world rooted in quiet nocturnal reflection and personal records. For him, night is a time to sort through the day and revisit memories—a space for contemplation that remains grounded in reality yet gently distanced from it. This sensibility appears on the canvas, where figures and still lifes coexist with a subtle sense of separation.

Though he employs bright and vivid colors, a quiet darkness and stillness permeate his work. His figures bear calm, ambiguous expressions, which he considers the most natural state. While his work reflects a longing for an ideal, it also closely resonates with the realities of contemporary life.

Jin Han investigates and depicts incidents related to universal feelings of sadness and anxiety. She is currently studying visual arts at Seoul National University of Science and Technology, she actively exhibits his work to the public. The artist analyses emotions such as melancholy and an inherent sense of isolation, beginning with a sensation of anxiousness based on fragments of autobiographical recollections. The artist creates a distinctive sense of self-using thin, overlapping, and dripping brushstrokes to 'bring out' the memories and feelings onto the canvas. Through her art, she offers contemporary audiences a message of shared experience, empathy, and healing.

Embarking on his career in 1991 as a freelance sculpture artist, Pawarest Choksaen (Doe) (b.1970, Bangkok, Thailand) transitioned into the role of Art Director at an advertising agency in 1997. In 2019, he made the pivotal decision to resign from the advertising agency, embracing a full-time commitment to his passion as a fine artist.

In his artistic journey, Choksaen delves into the lives of those in his community, keenly observing their gestures, activities, and diverse perspectives. Through the expressive medium of acrylic paintings, his works become windows into the stories that unfold in the everyday lives of individuals within different contexts.
