Everything is finite. We are always moving away from one thing, and everything is also moving away from us. It's just a matter of how short a moment it is. ‘Time in Lines’ is a work that reflects this fragile truth. The artist describes landscapes using line as my main expressive language. It reveals the existence of the landscape and at the same time erases its form.

Born in 1983 in Taipei, the artist graduated from Taipei National University of the Arts, majoring in Fine Arts. His early works focus on portraiture through erasure and alteration, offering a personal emotional interpretation of everyday social relationships. Recently, his work has explored narrative methods and stylistic models established in various periods of art history, using classical painting techniques to piece together, simulate, and reshape images that evoke the fantastical feel of a stage play. Through the language of painting itself, he seeks to examine the tangible and intangible distances between viewer and artwork, as well as the gaps and discontinuities in Taiwan’s reception of Western art, shaped by historical and cultural contexts.

Kang Kang Hoon's portrait series not only captures external features but also delves into the deeper emotional essence of each subject, inviting viewers to confront their true selves. His daughter, a recurring motif, serves as both the focal point of the artwork and a reflection of Kang himself. In a recent oil painting series, Kang incorporates symbolic object cotton, inspired by a yearning for his recently deceased mother. The contrast between withered branches and bloomed cotton subtly conflicts and harmonizes, contemplating intergenerational connections. Employing cotton as a metaphor for the enduring connections within humanity, Kang explores broad themes of the past and future on the delicate realm between figuration and abstraction.

Anouk Lamm Anouk is ar=s=c prac=ce spans pain=ng, drawing, sculpture, installa=on, and wri=ng. Their manifesto claims: “No Age, No Gender, No Origin”, or as they say: “I am no one I am nothing” which could be a reference to their embedment in Zen Buddhism. Anouk iden=fies as trans-non-binary and by virtue of this and living as a Person with au=sm, it is crucial to them to rid themselves of the external a`ribu=ons and labels that come from norma=ve society in order both to see and encounter others without the violence of classifica=on and an=cipa=on, to be truly open.
The star=ng point of their pain=ngs is the raw linen, the canvases itself is crucial. The unprimed frontside of the linen is a living part of their works and becomes a connec=ng visual element across several series. Their colour pale`e is strictly limited, most oDen to earthy colours, hues of black and off-white are also present; reduc=on is key. Anouk works both in series and independently of series – some pain=ngs are solely abstract, while others are predominantly figura=ve – all of which is connected by unique handwri=ng and gestural strokes. Text or text fragments are also part of their prac=ces. The texts are inten=onally unobtrusive, some=mes they require viewers to look for them. These give a hint or raise ques=ons.
In their work, Anouk returns to certain mo=fs, beings, and rhythms, which they unite together into a singular, holis=c cosmos, with the aim of conjuring peaceful spaces for contempla=on with a strong undercurrent of desire. This can be seen in their mostly figura=ve representa=ons in the “Lesbian Jazz” series, which features abstract symbols and mo=fs embedded next to naked bodies. The bodies on the canvas are oDen female or non-binary, some=mes sexless, and always anonymous. Faces or facial expressions are rare and usually leD out, because “Lesbian Jazz” portrays above all iden=ty, a lifestyle, a community, and not individualised portraits. Their ar=s=c prac=ce emerges from the urgent need for queer visibility in a world rife with discrimina=on, and their pain=ngs explore the visual languages of fluid iden=ty and body as they are coded and re-coded within society.

Jack Kabangu (b.1996, Zambian) is a Copenhagen-based self-taught contemporary artist whose practice fuses the rhythms of urban culture with the layered identity of the African diaspora. His paintings are charged with bold color contrasts, tactile textures, and recurring mask-like faces that recall both tribal iconography and contemporary street culture. Drawing inspiration from graffiti, hip-hop, and personal memory, Kabangu stages the dualities of joy and pain, beauty and ugliness, light and darkness in a raw yet poetic manner. Using brushes, fingers, and scrapers, he leaves visceral traces that infuse his canvases with immediacy, evoking echoes of Jean-Michel Basquiat while forging a distinct visual language of his own. Rapidly gaining international recognition through exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the U.S., Kabangu is emerging as one of the most compelling voices reimagining identity and expression in today’s global art scene.

Sungju Ham discovers a formal language from close and familiar images and conducts experimental work on the canvas, varying the frames of the images. He focuses on the boundaries of experiencing the unknown by translating images viewed through phone screens and computer monitors, and then transferring them to canvas. The work process involves capturing the reference image in its liquid crystal state, then translating the image through the camera, followed by the painting process. 

Summer Kang continues to explore emotions she wishes to remember by translating them into characters and narratives. Working across various mediums such as illustration, painting, webtoons, and animation, she gives visual form to feelings. She is also the creator of RAINBOW, a Kakao Webtoon series that tells a love story between a blue-suited hero and an ordinary girl.

Kang pays particular attention to the qualities of water—its fluidity and sensitive responsiveness. Just as a gentle ripple grows into a wave with a passing breeze, emotions too begin with subtle movements and gradually expand. Water absorbs the colors of its surroundings, freezes in cold, and cools in heat; in the same way, emotions continuously shift depending on the environment and situation. Her work captures these traits of emotion in visual language. She transforms emotions, scents, songs, and fragments of writing into characters, embodying the unseen yet undeniably present colors and movements of feeling. Summer Kang’s work becomes a delicate language of empathy, offering viewers a quiet but profound resonance.
