Viscous substances.

In Abel Bentin’s works ice cream cones melt and viscous substances drip down from classical statues, reinterpreted with a pop sensibility. His I Don’t Believe in Art (2017), made of marble powder and resin, was part of an installation created at the Los Angeles Ice Cream Museum (now permanently closed) in which even the walls of the room were invaded by dripping ice cream cones, stuck to the walls.

Jose Gomez

Painter/Visual artist

Jose Gomez is a contemporary visual artist who lives and works in London, UK. He moved to London in the year 2000. Natural of Seville, Spain, where he studied at the Seville Art School. His distinctive personal style expresses the vibrant spirit and atmosphere of his cultural surroundings. As a dynamic and innovation-seeking artist, he evolves in each series of work that he makes, using different materials and techniques, which allow him to explore from various perspectives with energy and expression of freedom. His artworks are hybrid paintings and sculptures. He studied Sculpture at the Camberwell College of Arts, obtaining a BA in 2012.

Artist Statement .

“I am a visual artist, originally from Seville and based in London.
I am mainly interested in creating artworks that call for the connection with the viewers. Also, I consider my cultural identity a significant inspiration for my work, as well as my gay identity and everyday observations around London.
For his variety of cultures and artistic movements, Seville is a rich source in gothic and Arab architecture based in geometric forms and baroque paintings and sculptures, which are a rich source of inspiration for me.”

Practice.

My practice is about perception, form and colour: visual and conceptual. I explore through my paintings how mindfulness as a natural quality touches our sense in our collective and popular territory.
The human figure, mostly of sexy men, abstracts creations and vivid colours are present in my artworks; it allows me to mix seemingly abstract and figurative compositions with sculptural associations.

Exhibitions.

Gomez has showed his artworks in solos and several group exhibitions around London and Spain, including: The Menier Gallery (Beyond Margins, 2015) The OXO Tower (Tribe 17 at the Bargehouse, 2017) The Tower Bridge Engine Rooms (The Art Bridge #8, 2018) Old Diorama Arts Centre (Loudest Whispers, 2022) His latest solo exhibition was travelling through art spaces and art galleries in Valencia (Spain) for 6 months until March 2019.

Otto Zitko

Otto Zitko
Painter
Location: Vienna (Austria)

The thesis will be that of wanting to recognize a bit of architecture in Otto Zitko’s drawings and especially in his bedroom drawings. In a first part, he wishes to enter into the relationship between modernism and design and architecture. Then, secondly, retrace the inversion of this relationship between line and space in the work of Otto Zitko.

Paint a continuous line.

A line that Otto Zitko draws when he paints continues the line that the artist started long ago. With this line, he is “on the move”, like someone who follows nomadic principles. Like someone who literally traces a path in a labyrinthine network and follows it (respectively pursues and traces it). Like someone placing a two-dimensional lineament into existing spaces with expansive painting/drawing gestures, making them dynamic. Delimiting them and enriching them with an unsuspected depth that alludes to the temporal dimension.

Sage Barnes

Sage Barnes
Painter
Location: Kansas City (US)

A self-taught artist, Sage Barnes only learned to create from his own ideas, which is exactly what sets him apart. He found a unique combination of abstract, realistic and street art techniques, which are often separated. Many of her works feature a very realistic bodice. With an explosion of color instead of the front, painted against a graffiti-like wall. Her Instagram bio reads “school dropout,” potentially as a way to let people know that there’s no clear path to success. He also uses his Instagram as a form of connecting with his followers. Rather than just posting a work with its title, it will add a meaningful quote or share the story behind a work.
