Born in 1992 in Seattle, Washington, Brandon Elijah Johnson lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

As we step into Johnson's world, somewhere between imagination and reality, we become a part of his visual diary. A collector of images, from photographs found on the internet to snapshots taken with his phone, Johnson reinterprets familiar ordinary scenes in his paintings and drawings, perhaps in an attempt to freeze a moment in time. He takes reference images from his direct environment and intentionally - or not - offers a representative picture of today’s world. His vivid compositions draw from pop culture, embrace pastiche, and remain attached to the here and now. As part of a generation willingly returning to figurative painting, Johnson moves away from pure representation, at times infusing a touch of playfulness, and distancing himself from painterly conventions. Between fiction and documentary reality, Johnson’s works reveal a part of our collective memory.

Born in 1994, in Huy, Belgium, Mégane Likin lives and works in Brussels. A visual arts graduate in both Painting and Drawing, Mégane Likin invites us on a journey to understand the transformation of events, reinventing her memories over time. Her approach is characterized by a subtle play of erasure—an artistic gesture that, far from concealing, reveals the essence of what has disappeared, making the invisible visible. Her creative process leads the viewer on a journey that confronts their own memories and the subjectivity of their mind. Her small paintings are like windows—a way of pausing the image and fixing the passing of time. Through her landscapes, it is the trace of time that emerges, a trace that invites us to question what lies just beyond the horizon. This dialogue between erasure and appearance, between the visible and the invisible, creates a tension where the ephemeral takes on its full meaning. Mégane reminds us that each moment is unique, irreversible, and that no experience can ever be lived the same way twice. Having widely exhibited in Belgium, she has received several awards during her career and her works have been placed in prominent European private art collections.
