Elias Sime incorporates the refuse from consumer electronics, repurposing salvaged components such as circuits and keyboards to create dynamic, abstract compositions. The materials he uses are sourced from the largest open-air market in Africa located in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. A traveling solo exhibition will be on view at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada (April 3, 2021 to July 4, 2021).

The collaged textured surfaces of Matthew Day Jackson's works are created through a layered process-they display a convergence of materials resulting in a coded visual language that asks viewers to question and create meaning. His paintings are sculptural as much as they are painterly: brightly colored floral arrangements composed of manufactured materials like Formica, plywood, lead on wood, and epoxy resin. They reference the 16th- and 17th-century paintings of Flemish Baroque painters Jan Bruegel the Elder and Jan Bruegel the Younger: cut and arranged flowers that are reminders of death even as they celebrate life.

Illusions of pictorial space are expanded through multiple perspectives in the paintings of Matthias Weischer. He uses the domestic realm as a framework to enhance the viewer's experience of the interior as a stage for symbolic objects. His thick paint application speaks to a practice enriched with conceptual and material exploration. 

His current solo exhibition Bühne at the Drents Museum in Assen (NL) is on view until March 28, 2021.

Ciarán Murphy’s paintings conjure an unsettling array of quotidian and imagined forms. The works capture a sense of place through fragments, charting the artist’s exploration of a familiar landscape through psychic automatism. 

Starting in 2004, Charles Avery has dedicated himself to a singular world-building project through the depiction of an imaginary island. The Islanders charts the formation of Avery's fantastical universe through drawings, sculptures, texts, ephemera and (more rarely) 16mm animations, as well as live incursions into our own world. 

Avery's work is now on view at the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden (NL), as part of the exhibition Other.Worldly. Recent exhibitions include The Taile of the One-Armed Snake, GRIMM, Amsterdam (NL); the 16th Istanbul Biennale (TR) titled The Seventh Continent, curated by Nicolas Bourriaud; the Royal Academy of Arts, London (UK); NOW at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh (UK); Auto fictions - Contemporary drawing Prix de dessin Guerlain, Wilhelm Hack Museum, Ludwigshafen am Rhein (DE); Rhapsody in Blue, Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar (NL) and GLASSTRESS, Palazzo Franchetti, 57th Biennale di Venezia, Venice (IT).
