Together, the Hanover and Berlin-based artists Thomas Granseuer und  Tomislav Topic constitute Quintessenz . Starting out as students at the University of applied Science and Arts in Hildesheim, they developed a unique unmistakable signature style. With roots in both grafitti-culture and chromatics, Quintessenz combine painting, moving image, and installation. Space is the fundamental inspiration for Quintessenz . Their work not only uses shapes and patterns found in architecture, it interferes with its environment, changing the spectator’s perception (of space). Quintessenz uses old factory buildings as their canvases, with their murals covering entire facades. In every medium they use, both in public spaces and galleries, their abstract work shares one thing in common: their art makes/creates space for its color. To Quintessenz, color is more than form. It is the content itself. quintessenz.art

Lente Scura is a digital artist who combines photo-manipulation and digital painting techniques to create emotive digital paintings of subjects struggling within emotional states and dream-like environments. Lente Scura takes the viewer on an emotional journey through visually striking digital compositions filled with dramatic anguish and beauty, giving insight to the complexity of emotions of the subjects of each painting. To convey the emotional message of each work, the artist focuses on how the human form through light and color and atmospheric ambiguity emanates energy and motion, creating at times a vortex of haunting emotional landscapes, where the artist portrays the ranges of Humanity. Lente Scura’s art has its roots in the classical painting of Italy, American painting of the mid-1800s, and in the German Expressionism and Surrealism movements of the early to mid-1900s. Lente Scura works within these styles, allowing the artist to portray at times ethereal beauty and at times immense horror and anguish. This mixture of styles leans to the dream quality of Lente Scura’s art, allowing the artist to focus not on reality in terms of environment, time, or location, but in the realm of dreams and all its hopes and fears and its endless struggle of voice and individuality. Lente Scura holds undergraduate degrees in literature and in painting and drawing and a Masters of Fine Art in Digital Art and Media, allowing the artist to combine the fields of literature and traditional painting with the digital world, creating a surreal dream world that has become the embodiment of the spirit and soul of the artist.

MelissaMcCracken “If I Was a Bird” ” Melissa McCracken  paints what she hears, titling each of her abstract oil paintings after the songs that inspired the work’s expressive gestures and bright punches of colour. The Kansas City-based artist has a neurological condition called  Synesthesia , which causes her sense of hearing to trigger colourful depictions of songs and genres. For McCracken, jazz music appears as iridescent blues, whites, and golds, while an upbeat pop song is bright pink and purple.

Christy Lee Rogers  is a visual artist from Kailua, Hawaii. Her obsession with water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography has led to her work being compared to Baroque painting masters like Caravaggio. Boisterous in color and complexity, Rogers applies her cunning technique to a barrage of bodies submerged in water during the night, and creates her effects using the refraction of light. Through a fragile process of experimentation, she builds elaborate scenes of coalesced colors and entangled bodies that exalt the human character as one of vigor and warmth, while also capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the tragic experience that is the human condition.  “My purpose behind the work is to question and find understanding in the craziness, tragedy, vulnerability, beauty, and power of mankind.” CLR Rogers’ works have been exhibited globally from Paris, London, Italy, Mexico City to Shanghai, Sao Paulo, South Africa, Los Angeles and more, and are held in private and public collections throughout the world. She has been featured in International Magazines, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar Art China, Elle Decoration, Global Times, The Independent, Casa Vogue, Photo Technique, Photo Korea and others. Rogers’ “Reckless Unbound” is currently housed at Longleat House in the UK; the stately home, which is the seat of the Marquesses of Bath and also home to Renaissance gems of the Italian masters, like Titan’s “Rest on the Flight into Egypt.”  Rogers’ art has been featured on several album covers, and her images were selected for the 2013–2014 performance season of the Angers-Nantes Opera in France. She mainly shoots in Hawaii, and currently lives in Nashville, TN, where she also spends her time as a mother, filmmmaker, and musician.

Sarah Meyohas Create Infinite Tunnels Strewn With Dangling Flowers. Sarah Meyohas is a visual artist working across media. For her latest project,  Cloud of Petals , she staged a performance at the site of the former Bell Labs. Sixteen workers photographed 100,000 individual rose petals, compiling a massive dataset. This information was used to map out an artificial intelligence algorithm that learned to generate new, unique petals forever. The performance resulted in a film, six gaze-based virtual reality experiences, and a series of sculptures, presented during a large-scale solo exhibition at Red Bull Arts New York. The  Cloud of Petals  exhibition becomes a site for contemplation about a post-human reality and the future of labor in the face of automation. The film has been screened at various festivals, including the Minneapolis St Paul International Film Festival, Slamdance, NY Times Talks, and CogX. Next month, Meyohas will be featured in the public talks of the Locarno Film Festival.  Previously, her 2015 cryptocurrency  Bitchcoin  and  Stock Performance  at 303 Gallery have also explored networks of information, power, value, and communication.
