Gabriella Boyd’s paintings aim to translate internal sensations into visual representations that capture the ephemeral nature of internal sensation and memory. Boyd’s work is akin to the shaky logic of dreams, where the boundaries between the body and the environment become unstable.

She studied at the Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools, London (UK). In 2024 the artist had her first institutional solo exhibition Presser at Cample Line in Dumfriesshire, Scotland (UK), and completed the residency program with The Roberts Institute of Art in Scotland (UK) from October to November 2024.

Boyd is included in the group exhibition From Observation to Abstraction: The Body in Art at The Royal Academy of Arts on view until June 30, 2025, and she will have a solo exhibition at GRIMM, Amsterdam (NL) in late 2025.

Anthony Cudahy weaves imagery culled from photo archives, art history, film stills, hagiographic icons and personal photographs to explore themes of queer identity and tenderness. His evocative figurative paintings and drawings are informed by extensive historical research. Moving through a variety of iterations from these vignettes, he generates compositions through acute attention to color and mark-making, sustaining a commitment to the mediums he uses as they guide the final works. They negotiate feelings of loneliness, isolation, desire, and safety through the lens of the artist’s own autobiographical narratives and crafted mythologies. 

Cudahy completed an MFA at Hunter College, New York, NY (US) in 2020. His forthcoming exhibition at GRIMM, Amsterdam (NL) will be on view from August 29 to October 18, 2025.

Sarah Esme Harrison creates paintings that merge naturalistic forms ornamental details, creating a contrast between bucolic chaos and man-imposed order. Harrison’s landscapes are framed by wrought iron embellishments that both confine and decorate the scenery behind them. Harrison completed her MFA at Yale University, New Haven, CT (US) in 2017, after having received a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design respectively in 2013 in Providence, RI (US).

Volker Hüller’s fragmented compositions speak to the mental spaces between dreams, delirium, and daily life. Figures are woven into the environment of the background creating an interplay between Hüller’s subjects and the features of the worlds they inhabit. Hüller integrates a succession of historical styles, but his works most distinctly possesses affinities to Expressionism, Cubism, and other strands of modernist exploration.

Volker Hüller studied under the late Norbert Schwontkowski (1949-2013) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg (DE), graduating in 2008.

Hettie Inniss' work responds to multisensory influences and bodily experiences, capturing and preserving a moment inflected by scent, light, sound and memory. Inniss is an artist whose practice questions the stability of self. Her distinctive canvases seek to create spaces with their own physics, their own truths and their own multidimensional perspectives. Inniss’ vibrant colour palette allows her to articulate memory and the act of remembering – capturing the afterburn of an image or the light seen behind closed eyes with a warmth and physicality that brings a bodily presence into her canvases.

Inniss graduated from the Painting MA course at the Royal College of Art, London (UK) in 2023, where she was awarded the Sir Frank Bowling Scholarship in 2022. 

This year she was included in the Artsy Vanguard 2025, an annual feature highlighting the most promising artists working today, and was recently commissioned by ZELDA Art (UK) to create a site-specific painting for a client located in Bishopsgate, London (UK). She will have a forthcoming exhibition at GRIMM, Amsterdam (NL) in the fall of 2025.

Matthew Day Jackson’s diverse practice encompasses sculpture, painting, collage, photography, drawing, video, performance, furniture design, and installation art. The concept of connectivity is at the core of Jackson’s work. He investigates a wide range of philosophical, scientific, and historical themes that he interweaves with his personal narrative. The artist employs intensive research and production processes to create objects that coincide with a reassembling of history. He views the combination of materials and references to disparate time periods as a metaphor for interconnectivity.

He received his BFA at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA (US) and his MFA at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ (US). He has also studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME (US) and obtained the NHRA Supercomp Dragster License at Frank Hawley’s Racing School in Gainesville, FL (US).

Jochem Mestriner is a Dutch artist whose oil paintings often depict chimerical natural forms that invite the spectator to stimulate their imagination. Working in layers of diluted oil paint, Mestriner’s work probes the boundary between reality and fantasy. He received a BA in Fine Art from the Utrecht School of the Arts (NL) in 2021 and his MFA at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam (NL) in 2025. He is also the recipient of the 2021/2022 Dooyewaard Stipendium Award.

Francesca Mollett makes abstract paintings that react to space and context. Her works are reflections of light and surface formed through a fluid yet precise process. Compositions evolve by extracting observations from an image, which transforms in a practice of analysing the shifting passages of paint as tension between luminosity and solidity develops. 

Francesca Mollett received her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London (UK) in 2020, and previously studied at the Royal Drawing School and Wimbledon College of Art, London (UK). This year, the artist had a solo exhibition titled Elsewhere at The Warehouse, Dallas, TX (US) and a solo exhibition Annual Honesty at Modern Art, London (UK), on view from June 5 – July 19, 2025.

Fisher Mustin views painting as an integral part of our identity and history. As such, there is important work to be done—not only in preserving painting but also in exploring its full potential. In the West, painting is seen as both a tradition and a product of a shared culture, shaped by a deep heritage of memories, obsessions, and an ongoing fascination with the medium. The allure of painting remains strong, but it requires a keen eye to truly see it. The challenge lies in how we look. Mustin’s oil and tempera paintings radiate a vivid, almost neon glow from the walls of the freshly renovated studios. The works depict figures inspired by classical Greek and Roman sculptures, set in environments that blend the earthly with alternate universes.

Mustin is a recent graduate of the Royal Academy Schools, London (UK), in 2024. He was the recipient of the Freelands Foundation Painting Prize (2020) and the Edna Rose Weiss Award (2023).
