More about the exhibiting artists:
Serena Bocchino is a synesthete who experiences sound as color, Bocchino transforms jazz and movement into dynamic abstract paintings, sculptures, and installations. Her critically acclaimed practice has earned prestigious grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and is featured in major institutional collections across Europe, Asia, and the U.S.
Francine Tint is a New York–based painter with a five-decade career, Tint blends Abstract Expressionism with Color Field painting to create intuitive works ranging from intimate to monumental scales. Her practice, informed by her background as a celebrity costume designer, is held in over 28 museum collections and emphasizes the "immediacy of the now."
Iris Kufert-Rivo Based at Mana Contemporary, Kufert-Rivo uses a restrained toolkit of straight edges and palette knives to create geometric compositions that explore how we process life intellectually and emotionally. Her work serves as a metaphor for human resilience, capturing the balance between rigid order and the "hand-revealing" imperfections of lived experience.
Luisa López Celada is a Spanish-born oil painter and Fulbright scholar, Celada merges art with activism to address human rights, climate change, and social justice. Her practice serves as a sanctuary for healing and spiritual connection, drawing on her background in design to foster global dialogue through internationally exhibited works.
Michelle Hoogveld is a contemporary artist celebrated for her vibrant, color-driven works that range from textile-like canvases to monumental public murals. Her visual language explores the intersection of human emotion and color resonance, weaving together geometric abstraction and gestural marks to celebrate the universal thread of love.
Chae Eunmi is a South Korean artist who fuses mother-of-pearl, traditional lacquer, and gold to create luminous works that explore the themes of light and eternity. Her reflective, multi-layered surfaces symbolize resilience and the interconnectedness of human lives, resulting in an endlessly expanding visual space.
Elize Bae A self-taught Korean American artist, Bae uses intuitive palette-knife painting and mixed media to create raw gestural portraits that examine the fracturing of identity under societal pressure. Her Projection Brut series amplifies silenced voices, using expressive color and unstable surfaces to trace the tension between vulnerability and erasure.
