Aida Tomescu (b. 1955)
In Aida Tomescu’s Messiaen (2025), a sense of measure and a reserve coexist with a sense of wildness and heat. Strokes of Cadmium pigments used abundantly through building and erasure stretch and overlap, break apart, and reconnect with the insistent beat and the softness of the whites. The glimpses of other colours and incidents near the edges of forms are remnants of the earlier histories of the painting. How much of these survive is perfectly weighted and chimes in unison with the intensity of pigments, creating localised densities and lending form and substance through subtle unsuspected transitions.
Edward Burtynsky (b. 1955)
Edward Burtynsky's latest release Shell Beach #2, Shark Bay, WA, Australia (2025) captures the surreal tapestry of land and sea in Western Australia – where nature's brushstrokes meet the quiet imprint of human activity. The aerial view transforms tidal channels and salt flats into abstract forms.
Movana Chen (b. 1975)
Movana Chen's Words of Heartbeats VI (2020-2021) is a deeply personal and tactile sculpture that transforms language, memory, and geography into woven intimacy. Chen's work Dreconstructing (2004-2008) will be shown at the 2025 Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art in September.
