“In a world that&#8217;s constantly bombarding us with information and events, it&#8217;s a conscious decision to pay attention to the mundane.”
Moving away from the mechanical state of education she experienced growing up in China, Huang moved to the US to pursue her studies about 7 years ago. Here, Huang learned how to freely create. The last few years have seen Huang embrace the charm of realism, while most of her inspiration stems from intuition, as nothing can truly bind an artist.
Her inspiration also comes from a multitude of spaces; female artists such as Catherine Murphy, Jennifer Bartlett, Vija Celmins, and Sylvia Plimack Mangold, as well as her imagination, research and readings. 
Carefully selecting her scenes, Huang makes the mundane, spectacular. She describes the seemingly quiet moments as “creases in our routine that are essential to our lives”. These quieter moments are, to the artist, more important to us in the long run. “That&#8217;s why painting is such a powerful medium. It allows us to capture and prolong these fleeting moments, giving them the attention and significance they deserve.” Works are autobiographical, often reflecting her state of mind during the moment of creation. The scenes depicted are transcendental moments she catches in the mundanity of life, making them all the more real and tangible. 
Many works incorporate a clearly technological, digital aspect. Be that a machine being depicted, grid lines, QR codes and so forth. Huang began incorporating these elements such as computer screens and pixelated Chinese characters into her paintings during the COVID-19 pandemic when social interactions were limited. In her own words, “these elements represent the increasing role of digital technology in our lives.” 
Titles come to her unexpectedly. While working with a cup of coffee in hand and her dog by her side, she listens to podcasts and music, which often synchronize with the flow of the painting in progress. When the lyrics match, these often become the titles. She says this intuitive process of choosing titles not only adds an element of spontaneity to her work, but also balances out the strictness of the painting itself and completes the story. Working in oil paints, Huang often enjoys working on several paintings at once. Her studio is her haven. She describes how it protects her most sensitive nerves.
“I wish my paintings can be more than the images the viewer can perceive on the surface. They embed my hope in the world.”
A series the artist spoke about was Sisters I Never Met. Within this body of work, flowers are imbued with metaphors that relate to women&#8217;s fate, going beyond being merely beautiful still-life paintings. Huang contrasts this to the way flowers are utilized commercially in society, such as Valentine&#8217;s Day bouquets, wedding flowers; and as she describes “arrangements imposed by humans and meaning imposed upon flowers, as if it is their natural duty to be beautiful”. This body of work challenges the representations of flowers. She elaborates, “this is a shared fate &#8211; we are all sisters who have never met. The images juxtaposed with the flowers in my paintings hold many possible definitions, representing authority, restraint, harm, and something opposite to women&#8217;s consciousness. It is the reflection raised by the juxtaposition that I wish to bring to the audience&#8217;s attention.”
2023 is a busy year for Huang, with her first solo exhibition in the US at <a href="https://latitudegallery.nyc/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Latitude Gallery</a>, NYC in May, as well as two group exhibitions in Beijing in June. As if that wasn’t enough, she is exhibiting in another solo exhibition with <a href="https://mouprojects.com/en" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Mou Projects</a>, in Hong Kong, in October. Prior to these exhibitions, Huang will be showing two works at <a href="https://futurefairs.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Future Fair</a>, with newcube early May.

“In a circle of friends, he wonders “what their glasses would think of them.””
Nick Farhi makes small objects, extraordinary. Cookware, shiny toasters, bottles, ceramic figurines, crystal shapes and glasses – each painted into a painterly, visual adventure from the everyday. 
Farhi arrives at the painting studio at 9am &#8211; sharp. Often working long hours throughout the day on his fascinating still life scenes. His inspirations come from ideas of society, as well as a desire to make strong, visual metaphors that explore our shared existence. 
Farhi’s artistic journey began when “touching sculptures as a child in the Guggenheim!”. Noting how he would not do this now, he tells me that touching the works so intimately gave an unmatched sense of awe, “that art is enormous, captivating and rare”. Working across a variety of media, including oil, utilizing his iPhone, with stencils, pastels and spray paint, I was particularly fascinated by his works on metal. Selected as a surface after seeing the works of some of his heroes, namely Dike Blair and Marilyn Minter who painted on a similar canvas, he enjoyed experimenting with the substrate when working between LA and Mexico. The surface is unmatched in its flatness, perfect for rendering his accurate visions. Indeed, visiting and meeting other artists is a key and enjoyable part of his life, saying how he believes “it important to be outside of the studio weekly”.
Works are a “life long relationship” &#8211; one of immense care, research, poeticizing, reflecting, envisioning and perfecting. Farhi paints to expert realism, expanding these &#8211; often overlooked &#8211; objects into a large scale. They become unmissable, and imbued with context; intricate brush strokes render light from challenging materials and forms. 
One such challenge is his frequent representation of glass: fish tanks, bowls, ornaments, glasses, bottles, jugs… Painstakingly created, glass here references a warning to viewers on how fragile a Western, consumerist society is. He describes how, in one work, “earthy green glass represented our environmental detriments” while depicted “glass slippers nodded to the 1,000 year old fable of Cinderella – an oration which can be traced across Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. Where in which the protagonist is thwarted with the expectation that they need to love a luxury found object (the slipper) in order to ascend and find inner happiness. This is much like the way corporations today tell us what is needed objectively to join what they refer to as the ‘heights of society’.”
A focus on mundane objects further explores the artist’s insight into a capitalistic, consumerist present. We have become “a society so entrenched with instant gratification, driven by late capitalism, and to what end? I am not painting paintings for the instant gratification of someone enjoying them, yet to produce a latent effect.” Rather than addressing our daily life, he describes his works rather as “advertisements for the objects of daily life.” They have references to found imagery, often from the internet, travel, sometimes from memories of his Grandmother’s home, books, films, stories from friends. He gives agency, life and stories to these objects. They are not merely background props of utensils, but rather, stars of their own show. Inspiration is drawn from everywhere. Farhi has referenced how the artist Gaughin was constantly observing that and those around him. Upon seeing people share a drink, he wondered “what their glasses would think of them.” A particular period of his practice saw his ideas draw from accidental photographs, meaning postings of people’s possessions and “junk” on sites like Craigslist and eBay. These became references in his works. This online method of influence shopping was only exacerbated during the pandemic. He describes how many of these objects were somewhat universal, representing “archetypes that reflected society and its function within our consciousness.” 
Works are not merely representational – they each share an entrenched story and mystery. Titles add another layer – who is moving? Where are they going? What are they saying to one another? 
While Farhi is currently working on new works that will be exhibited in New York, he is also pursuing “ideas that stop [him] in his own tracks.” With a laptop full of writing and dream projects, there is no telling what he will continue to achieve. For the time being, we look forward to discovering his new paintings at <a href="https://futurefairs.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Future Fair</a> with newcube in May.

A few weeks ago, newcube’s cofounders Bibi and Claire had the pleasure to sit down and chat with Maria Vogel, a young art advisor and writer based in New York, founder of Rococo Advisory and Rococinco. 
A pleasure to connect again, Maria. You wear many hats, as a writer, curator, advisor, and also in many ways patron of the arts. What transcends when speaking with you is your genuine passion for artists and your support of their work and careers. We would love to hear more about your unique trajectory in the art world. What brought you to the art scene initially and to establishing Rococo? 
First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for that moving introduction! It will never cease to thrill me to know that is how I am received by my peers because it’s something I work toward daily.
I was brought into the art scene by way of moving to New York at 22 and enrolling in an MA for Art Business. After beginning my career at a blue-chip gallery and experiencing its limitations toward personal growth, I set out on a very non-linear path to find the growth within the art world I was so hungry to experience.
Could you tell us a little more about Rococo’s mission and projects? 
Rococo is an advisory focused on creating touchstones of connection between collectors, art enthusiasts, and artists. Our mission is focused around lifting the veils of the art world while bringing more and more people into the fold and helping them on their collecting journeys. Apart from operating as a full-service advisory, Rococo hosts regular activations, including group studio visits, exhibition walkthroughs, and a dinner party series, Rococinco. Each of these gatherings aims to generate a space for memorable interactions and close engagement with artists.
We love the concept of your Rococo dinners. We’d love to hear more about those events. How did this idea come about and how do you typically choose the artists and guests that you bring together on those special nights? 
My dinner parties are called Rococinco – a play on the advisory name and the number five, since each dinner celebrates five different artists. I always say that the idea of merging art and food is certainly not something I was the first to come up with, but I do think my timing and spin on it has been the recipe for success. Coming out of the pandemic, I had a reawakening – as so many of us did – on how I wanted to spend my free time. My idea of an ideal night involves homecooked food, cozy ambiance, and the company of others who inspire me. Dinner parties really seemed to take on a new role during this time as larger gatherings became less and less frequent.
While in this headspace, I started to dream up what a dinner party for the art world could look like. It didn’t happen overnight—in fact the concept took on many different iterations as it tossed around my mind and I tried to piece everything together. This summer, I felt ready to bring things to fruition and it just so happened to coincide with the launch of Rococo. That was really the finishing touch—realizing that the ethos of my advisory and what I was creating with Rococinco were so in tandem.
Each dinner will look a little different than the last – a new venue, chef, group of artists – but the idea of coming together and celebrating artists over a shared meal will remain the same. So far, I’ve chosen artists I have personal relationships with but looking forward, I’m hoping to expand the web and invite in different partners to help curate the artist list in inventive ways. There is only one guideline I follow for guests—people who are interested and excited to be a part of the evening.

Many collectors and artists we have met along the way have shared how friendships made in the art world have enriched their life. We spoke to you a lot about this sense of community, which we really pay a lot of attention to as well at newcube. Could you tell us how you have built a community throughout your projects? 
I think that my community really fell into place as I began to find my voice within the art world. There’s a lot of industry pressure to conform that I definitely fell victim to early on. As soon as I was able to work past that and set my own parameters of how I wanted to show up, the type of people I wanted to surround myself with also showed up. I’ve always felt like I connect more to artists than to other industry professionals and many of my close friends are also the artists I’m trying to get onto more people’s radar and into more people’s homes. 
 How do you typically meet new collectors? 
Many of the collectors I’ve been lucky to support I’ve met organically, either by introduction or referral from other collectors or people in my life. Instagram has played a role as well, but in my opinion, nothing beats meeting in real life by happenstance and realizing you share a common thread that could lead to an advising relationship – these moments tend to happen at art fairs or events totally outside of the art world.

Do you collect art yourself? If yes, who are some of the artists in your collection? 
Ever since I started to have even a little bit of disposable income, it’s gone towards collecting art. I’m fortunate to live with art by some of my closest friends: Lujan Perez, Hunter Potter, Austyn Weiner, Kristin Texiera, and Caleb Hahne Quintana, as well as pieces I cherish by Dani Orchard, Basil Kincaid, Mia Middleton, Kevin McNamee Tweed, and Daisy Dodd Noble, to name a few.
As an advisor, who are the artists who have been the most interesting discoveries for you? Do you have an area of expertise?  
I love when I get the chance to meet and visit with an artist when they are in this particular sweet spot on the cusp of growth. I always keep tabs on any artist I meet and connect with and in this way, get to witness their progression through the art world and remember the before moment we spent together. I don’t know if I would go as far to claim expertise but I’ve developed a good sense of pinpointing which young or newly discovered artists will really take the art world by storm.
Which artists, writers, academics, curators and other creative thinkers have influenced you throughout the years? 
Inside the art world: Leonora Carrington, Su Wu, Kimberly Drew, Peggy Guggenheim, and Elizabeth Dee. Outside the art world: Hanya Yanagihara, Ocean Vuong, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and my Aunt Julie.
Would you have any specific advice to emerging artists?
I’ve never been in an artist’s shoes so I won’t pretend to be a voice of authority in this arena, but over the course of hundreds of studio visits something that sticks out to me as one of the most intoxicating traits an artist can have is knowing the why behind every decision they are making in their practice. When you can feel an artist is making work that is so purely themselves, it’s one of the most beautiful experiences to encounter.
Any fun predictions for trends in 2023-2024? 
I try to steer clear of the word trends in art because I want what I am doing to help others to last much longer than the life cycle of a trend. One thing I hope will occur more in the next year is young collectors taking an interest in adding depth to their collection, be it through older or lesser-known artists, deceased artists, or pieces that are in direct conversation with one another.
What has been the most exciting exhibition you’ve seen in the past year? 
Surrealism and Magic: Enchanted Modernity at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.
Thank you for your insights and for sharing your story with us. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Brandon Elijah Johnson is a rare talent.
His works are synonymous with the feeling of the ‘uncanny’; of reinterpreting a familiar, ordinary scene, freezing moments in time. For Brandon, the term ‘uncanny’ derives from a Freudien context of something being “nothing new or alien, but something which is familiar, though has become alienated.” For him, the tensions between the comfortable and familiar, and the inherently unsettling, brings an exciting perspective to his works, as well as a tongue-and-cheek tone to his aesthetic.

Brandon Elijah Johnson, Not How I Left It, 2020. Private Collection, USA.

A key example is through his work ‘<a href="https://www.newcube.art/artwork/not-how-i-left-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Not how I left it</a>’, depicting a painting of chairs stacked in a haphazard way. While meticulously rendered, and depicting a relatively ordinary scene, the work has a certain menacing energy. This work is inspired by that familiar feeling that things are not exactly how you remember them, or how you left them: the universal questioning of something more sinister, paranormal or strange. 
Brandon watches a lot of movies. They provide a wealth of imagery, as well as a huge amount of iconic elements he incorporates into his works. His imagery is derived from “all over the place”; images, magazines, album covers, stills from movies and TV and music videos. He is consistently on the lookout for new sources. He often snaps images on his mobile to work from. “More is more,” for Brandon when it comes to the source of inspiration. Through Brandon’s hand, the images are recontextualised, moving away stylistically from their source material – again, providing a sense of the uncanny to otherwise familiar images.

Brandon has a particular aptitude for rendering light &#8211; demonstrated across his body of work. This is particularly clear in works such as ‘<a href="https://www.newcube.art/artwork/claires-knee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Claire’s Knee</a>’ and ‘<a href="https://www.newcube.art/artwork/crystal-vision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crystal Vision</a>’ each demonstrating this intense understanding of light to create mood and energy. The brightness and stillness of light across figures demands the viewers attention; to take a moment in time to reflect on the subject. 
Brandon has a regimented studio practice, everything has its place, and everything happens in distinct order. He mixes his paints, preparing the entire palette before picking up a brush. Works begin simply, with colour blocking, building up marks to the sounds of podcasts, then music. His “best work happens when [he] can turn [his] brain off and just go into painting mode.” Living in Brooklyn has heavily influenced and inspired his practice. This is mainly through the cacophony of art and artists present throughout the city. At equal points, “the city can be both super bleak and super romantic and beautiful.” This juxtaposition seeps into the way the artist looks at the every day. Moreover, the city’s long and arduous history for rigorous artistic practices, as well the strong community of artists has pushed him further and further with his practice; including critiquing each other’s works and learning organically from each other. Brandon describes how “New Yorkers get a bad rap for being very curt and to the point” but how this approach helped him to break new bounds in his study. Within his inspirations, he highlights his undergraduate teachers, particularly Elena Sisto, a “super touch and harcore painter’s painter”. Studying under Sisto taught him vitals about colour and unique painting styles that truly expanded his practice. Other painters who inspire his aesthetic include Fairfield Porter, Duncan Hannah, Richard Bossman, Lois Dodd (who he describes as one of the “greatest painters of all time”), and other “distinctly East Coast Aesthetic Figurative Legends”. The influence of David Hockney and Alex Katz is also clear among many of his works. 
During their creation, titles come very naturally to him. As an example, he tells me of his time during his undergraduate degree. “My mom was sick and in the hospital. I was very distressed and sort of paralyzed. It felt like no one that I would talk to could relate.” He recalls how people would ask “Who died?!” as a synonym for “Why the long face?” or something similar. “I was walking past a graveyard one day and I passed a tombstone that was completely illegible and beautifully backlit. I snapped a picture on my mobile phone and that painting basically just made itself, the title &#8220;Who died?&#8221; in reference to the illegibility of the tombstone in the painting, but also the etymology of the expression itself.”
Brandon never divulges much about each piece he creates. His relationship with each finished work is intensely personal and often specific. He quips how he intends to ‘“leave a little room for the magic to live” for viewers, choosing not to provide context to many of his works. 
It&#8217;s a busy and exciting time for Brandon, make sure to catch his current exhibitions: <a href="https://www.loringallery.com/current" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California Dreaming</a>, curated by Joe Chira and closing soon at Lorin Gallery in Los Angeles (until March 18th), and <a href="https://pablosbirthday.com/exhibitions/70-time-organized-by-ryan-steadman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Time </a>at Pablo&#8217;s Birthday in NYC, curated by Ryan Steadman (until March 31st).

“It felt crucial to contribute to a change.” &#8211; Bibi Zavieh
To celebrate International Women’s Day 2023, I had the pleasure of speaking to newcube Founders, Bibi Zavieh and Claire Toole. 
The two first crossed paths while working at Christie&#8217;s in London. Though not working directly alongside each other at the time, a synergy was quickly formed, collaborating on newcube within a few weeks. The project was clearly going to grow into the successful platform it is today, soon being featured by <a href="https://www.awita.london/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWITA</a> (The Association of Women in the Arts). “Claire reached out to me to chat about our respective paths in the art world and our roles as women in this fast-changing industry,” Bibi told me. “There was an instant connection between us, which led to us working together on taking newcube to the next level.” The pair clicked immediately. Claire described how “Bibi was so open and collaborative from our first conversation”. This continued collaboration, respect, and excitement to work together continues to this day.  
Now as a female-only company mainly based between New York and London, the values of newcube are organically defined and ever-growing. Their name represents a step “out of the traditional ‘white cube’…” and fundamental passion for “giving a voice and platform to artists on the rise,” as described by Claire. To do this, the team encourages growth and collaboration. “The global community that has come together with newcube looks to create further diversity and unity, encouraging partnership and exchange within the art world,” she continues. 
newcube continues today as the same incredible initiative, supporting international artists, collectors, curators and art enthusiasts. Their mission has remained strong. Bibi describes to me how diversity sits at its core – combatting consistent feelings of frustration with it continually lacking in the broader art world. The pair had previously found that “artists’ names were repeatedly included on endless wishlists, and yet we were lucky to know amazing talents who were being drastically overlooked… Our multicultural background has led us to discover incredible artists. But more than ever, too many collectors were &#8216;buying with their ears&#8217;&#8230; it felt crucial to contribute to a change.”

&nbsp;
On a day like today, conversation quickly focuses on the gender disparity in the art world. This year, the IWD theme is #EmbraceEquity. I asked the two what steps they would like to see within the arts to work towards a fairer culture sector. Bibi begins, “Many institutions, but also galleries and collectors, have made public commitments to diversity and inclusion goals to achieve more equity in the art world. But recent studies and observations show we are still very far from reaching goals. It seems there has been a lot of talk, but not enough action.” In keeping with the inclusive core of newcube, she described how “female artists are still significantly underrepresented in private and public collections, and when you look closer at BIPOC women in specific, the numbers get even more alarming.” Fortunately, “some institutions have paved the way for change &#8211; The Dia Art Foundation is an example to follow, with Jessica Morgan at its head, they have gained works by women artists at a rate of above 62.5% (source: <a href="https://studioburns.media/series/the-burns-halperin-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Burns Halperin Report, 2023</a>)&#8221;. 
“If galleries &#8211; and collectors by extension &#8211; joined their efforts to proactively think about embracing equity when choosing to represent and collect artists, but also in their choice of staff and collaborators, we may see a positive outcome in the coming years.” As a company, newcube is committed to regularly checking in internally, as well as within their community, to ensure they are continuing to make positive steps forward, and continue aligning with their mission. To continue this ground, newcube is constantly innovating, not only focussing on emerging artists, but collectors too. “We hope to become a model for further exchange and collaboration within the art world, beyond bias. In the future, we look forward to having further physical presence while elevating our digital platform with <a href="http://www.newcube.art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">newcube.art</a>.”
Together, the platform has collaborated with many like-minded people internationally. “We are fortunate to have been able to exhibit at <a href="https://futurefairs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Future Fair</a> with founders Rachel Mijares Fick and Rebeca Laliberte, feature newcube artists in group shows with women-led galleries like <a href="https://tchotchkegallery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tchotchke Gallery</a> in Brooklyn, NY and most recently <a href="https://www.meygallery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mey Gallery</a> in LA, collaborate with inspiring curators like Alayo Akinkugbe and Thea Smolinsky, as well as work with an amazing number of female artists at newcube,” they tell me. “We will always need to be conscious of supporting and championing women in the arts, but so far we’ve been able to do so without having to think very hard about it!”
Before leaving, I had to ask the two for artists they are watching at the moment. They find many of their artists through Instagram, as well as through connecting with artists and professionals they admire. “I like to say our best advisors at newcube have been the artists we work with,” Bibi said. The pair unanimously cite the works of Saj Issa, an LA based artist working to tackle issues of cultural erasure, climate change and capitalism. They also expressed excitement for the bright abstracts of London based Michaela Yearwood Dan; Vienna based Arang Choi, the hyperrealistic florascapes of Kate Bickmore; the still frames of Baoying Huang; LA based Rachel Hakimian Emenaker’s paintings and ceramic works, and Maelle Ledauphin’s surrealist works.

He is a truly pioneering artist who explores themes of identity and transformation. In the past, he has collaborated with the Serpentine Gallery, the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum, but also the Hyatt Regency London, and his works are held in the V&amp;A’s permanent collection. 
Narielwalla has caught our eyes recently for his recent project Fear of the Flower. This project has been realised as a book of 36 paintings, reminiscent of Georgia O’Keeffe’s floral paintings, on a French tailoring book.

To Believe, To Be Loved, To Belong_Acrylic and Oil on Canvas_

<a href="https://www.newcube.art/artist/shantel-miller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shantel Miller</a>
Shantel Miller (b. 1991) lives and works in Boston, USA and Toronto, Canada. Miller is a storyteller – her works examine representations of belief systems, gender, identity and race. Her intimate oil works delicately depict everyday surroundings, ordinary environments showcasing ‘moments of black life’.  Miller’s compositions are sensitive and personal. 
Her recent works, including Sheryl and Sherri, To Believe, To Belong, To Be Loved and The Day I Met Immanuel,  are intimate and personal depictions of caring and loving family relationships. These works truly inspire feelings of nostalgia, love and comfort.
Miller’s works have recently been exhibited within <a href="https://trotterandsholer.com/exhibition/a-suitable-accomplishment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Suitable Accomplishment</a> group exhibition at <a href="https://trotterandsholer.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trotter&amp;Sholer</a>.

<a href="http://lindseymendick.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lindsey Mendick</a>
Lindsey Mendick (b. 1987) lives and works in Margate, UK. Her works immediately end equally bring to mind the humorous, the grotesque and the real. They are striking and exuberant, courageous and personal. Working predominantly in clay, Mendick has tackled challenging subjects such as mental health and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in a loving, honest and raw way. 
Recent works that have caught our eyes include her series of ceramic Post It notes, emblazoned with satirical and important notes to oneself. These include I love you but I love me more, Seriously?? and I don’t deserve nice things. 
We were particularly inspired and touched by her summer 2022 exhibition <a href="https://carlfreedman.com/artists/lindsey-mendick/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lindsey Mendick: Off With Her Head</a> at <a href="https://carlfreedman.com/exhibitions/2022/off-with-her-head/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link-name="in body link">Carl Freedman Gallery</a> in Margate.

<a href="https://dindgamccannon.world/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dindga McCannon</a> 
Dindga McCannon (b. 1947) is an artist we have followed for a while. A pioneer of twentieth and twenty-first century fibre art, over the last five decades, McCannon’s works have showcased and celebrated the histories of Black women through sculpture, quilts, prints and paintings. Her works are as fierce as they are compassionate, examining the inequality faced by Black women in America every day. 
As she herself describes, &#8220;my work is the fusion of traditional needlework (skills given to me by my mother and  grandmother), with the fine arts: drawing, painting, printing, and  printmaking, along with a lot of mixed media.”
With a long overdue exposure within the art world, the artist now in her mid-70s, had her first breakthrough solo show open at <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.fridmangallery.com/inplainsightdindga" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fridman Gallery</a> in New York, in 2021. This was the first time she had been represented by a commercial gallery, and her works were exhibited at the Armory Show and at Art Basel Miami Beach that same year.

<a href="https://www.pamelaphatsimosunstrum.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum</a>
Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum (b.1980) is a rare talent. Her works beautifully reflect on diverse genealogies of her experience living across the world – Africa, North America and Southeast Asia. Through her works she centres Black female identities, highlighting the contributions of often overlooked historical figures. The figures are  Phatsimo’s alter-egos, though their landscapes are less defined, existing in both the present and imagined space of her mind. 
This year, Pamela will show a brand new commissioned solo project in London at the Bloomberg Space, she will be part of the Liverpool Biennale, and will have a much anticipated solo exhibition at Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg. She is also included in the 15th Sharjah Art Biennale.

Reihaneh Hosseini_Sept12_Full

<a href="https://www.newcube.art/artist/reihaneh-hosseini" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reihaneh Hosseini</a>
Reihaneh Hosseini (b. 1988) was born in Tehran and is now based in Vienna, Austria. Her practice explores and examines her identity as a woman growing up in a conservative environment both in her private and public life. Themes she explores in her paintings include rejecting traditional conventions, exploring laughter, nudity, the body &#8211; often her own one &#8211; and nature. Her works are gloriously brimming with wit and sarcasm, complete with bulbous features, distorted profiles and exaggerated style, though they are rooted in a profound emotional sense of discovery, philosophical themes and reflect on her deep understanding of the self.
We’ve particularly enjoyed viewing Reihaneh’s studio through her instagram page recently and discovering her new works exhibited in galleries worldwide, from London to Shanghai and Paris. We look forward to her next exhibition which will be held in Los Angeles in the spring 2023.
