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. They negotiate feelings of loneliness, isolation, desire, and safety through the lens of the artist’s own autobiographical narratives and crafted mythologies.

The artist has a solo exhibition, titled metronome yawned, at Esker Foundation, Calgary (CA), on view until April 26, 2026. His solo exhibition Spinneret debuted at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, ME (US), and travelled to the Green Family Art Foundation in Dallas, TX (US) in 2024, accompanied by a dedicated publication. Cudahy held his first solo museum exhibition in 2023, titled Conversation, at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dole in France.

Louise Giovanelli’s delicate, luminous works inject vitality into historical subjects from the canon of Western art, primarily chosen for its formal qualities and includes staged photographs, film stills, and architectural elements.

Keenly attuned to the historical significance of painting as a medium and system of representation, her paintings challenge the eye by dissolving representation into carefully crafted textures and patterns. For Giovanelli, painting allows for a visual slowing-down, and beholding her works is akin to a meditative process.

Her touring solo exhibition A Song of Ascents, which was recently on view at The Hepworth Wakefield (UK) and HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, Graz (AT), is currently presented at Museum Villa Stuck in Munich (DE) until March 15, 2026.

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. Often influenced by literature, Mollett reveals a deep relationship between the ethos of life and of time, elusive and unable to be articulated through representation alone. In this, abstraction - through colour and texture - becomes an attentive way of considering these affinities. This year she will present a solo exhibition of new works at GRIMM, New York, NY (US), on view from May 9 until June 20, 2026.

Caroline Walker’s large canvases and intimate panels depict anonymous women in settings that blur the boundaries between public and private. Walker’s paintings are a lens for the everyday lives of women, and her portraits of diverse subjects tell their story through the spaces they inhabit.

She explores the boundary between being an observer – that is preserving the “objective” eye of an outsider – and magnifying the experience of a place which has become part of the fabric of her life. They are conceived as a reflection on community and how the anonymous people we encounter become characters in our own stories. 

In September 2026, Walker will present a large-scale commission for Art on the Underground at Stratford station (UK).

Dutch artist, filmmaker, actor, and writer Alex van Warmerdam has a diverse practice, working across multiple media and establishing a distinctive voice as one of the Netherlands’ most renowned filmmakers. Van Warmerdam explores the absurdity, humor, and horror of social conventions and personality types, proposing that devolution into the surreal is an ever-present possibility.

The practice of embedding themes from Dutch intellectual and cultural history is manifest in Van Warmerdam’s Tronies. This body of work references the 17th century painting genre, depicting anonymous individuals, accentuating their features to relay aspects of their expression of emotion and character. The faces are based on photographs found in books or on the internet. Van Warmerdam prefers elements that he can interpret freely; to underscore, to obscure or both in terms of color, form, and composition.

Jonathan Wateridge is best known for his paintings that depict spectral figures who blend in and out of their poolside environments. Recently, he has developed a formal language to more deeply explore figures that often seem isolated, interrupted, or unsure of themselves - figures, in other words, who occupy a world that is no longer guaranteed or available to them.

The artist currently has a solo exhibition at GRIMM, Amsterdam (NL) titled No Longer, Not Yet, on view until April 4, 2026. He will have a solo exhibition at GRIMM, London (UK) in Fall 2026.

For Gabriella Boyd the act of painting is an act of translation, from the interior or verbal, into the exterior and visual. As psychological and literal spaces collide, Boyd explores and collapses the distinction between interior and exterior states by bringing together representational motifs with purely symbolic structures or diagrammatic forms. In an attempt to depict embodied experience and memory, painting enables the approximation of sentiment or language, allowing invisible sources of power and energy to flourish in indefinite but sincere, candid vocabularies.

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). In 2027, Boyd will have a solo exhibition at the Yuz Museum, Shanghai (CN).

Matthias Weischer’s paintings depict domestic interior scenes and landscapes that challenge the viewer’s perception of space. One of the foremost painters of his generation, Weischer has refined his technique by repeatedly crafting and restaging compositions, often drawing from his own studio as a point of departure. He gradually builds thick layers of pigment on the canvas, creating surfaces alive with rich texture. This approach allows for a striking interplay between intricate detail and elusive space.

Miguel Ybáñez works in the tradition of Arte Povera and embraces a range of techniques to create works of varying scale and form. Utilising colorful geometric abstraction that verges on the familiar, Ybáñez’ paintings are reminiscent of dream-like landscapes that question our perception of everyday forms. In his work Ybáñez strives to negate the boundaries between past and present, ‘high’ and ‘low’ art.

Ybáñez states that the essence of his work is to express the universal emotions that exist in our shared extra-dimensional space. He believes that this language without words is understood across cultures and sees his work as a conduit, a medium through which he can pass his ideas to future generations.

Robert Zandvliet is an artist who has been concerned with the combined act of observation and introspection. Zandvliet’s approach to painting evolves gradually over time – constantly questioning, honing and expanding his understanding of an element of his practice. As the artist comments, “I look to find the gaps in my knowledge, the underexposed components in my oeuvre, question these and dive into them to find new solutions.” Throughout each series, landscape returns to Zandvliet, marking a consistent thread throughout his practice.

A major solo exhibition, titled The Painting is a Door, opens on March 21, 2026 at Museum Franz Gertsch (CH), bringing together key bodies of work from the Dutch painter’s past 15 years. On March 29, a second solo exhibition, Paradaidha, opens at Kunsthalle Darmstadt (DE).

The artist’s first major monograph spanning over 30 years of work and published by Jap Sam Books titled Monolith (2026) is available here.

Known for her luminous application of color, Heisch composes paintings of repeated motifs, curving forms, and delicate, gestural lines. Drawing inspiration from organic bodies, patterns in nature, and the cosmos, Heisch’s paintings are infused with waves of energy and tension, capturing triumphant yet fleeting moments of balance and stillness. Heisch has a forthcoming solo exhibition at Yi Space, Hangzhou (CN) opening on March 21, 2026.

The artist will also present a solo exhibition with Almine Rech, Paris (FR), opening in September 2026.

Charles Avery has dedicated himself to a singular world-building project through the depiction of an imaginary island. 'The Islanders' is a detailed portrayal of the inhabitants, topography, and culture of a fictional island, formed extensively through drawings, painting, writings, objects, architecture and design. Over the course of the twenty-year project, Avery’s imaginary world has been calibrated around ‘The Island’, the center of Avery’s constructed world; located among an archipelago of innumerable constituents. Key elements from his drawings and paintings are rendered in physical form in his sculptures and installations.

Tjebbe Beekman’s canvases are simultaneously abstract and expressive, disorienting the viewer’s sense of space. Layering increasingly fragmented and polarised images, Beekman’s work is a personal reflection of contemporary society and his method of adapting to the existential events of today through creating a dialogue with his contemporaries of the past.

Tjebbe Beekman attended the KABK: Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (NL) from 1993 to 1997, followed by the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam (NL) from 2003 to 2004. Awards and nominations include the Theo Wolvecamp Prize (NL), Buning Brongers Prize (NL), and the Royal Painting Prize (NL).
