Shannon Bono (b. 1995, London) Bono’s paintings embody an afrofemcentrist consciousness, sharing muted narratives and projecting the black women’s lived experiences. She is invested in producing layered, figurative, compositions embedded with symbols and scientific metaphors that centralise black womanhood as a source of knowledge and understanding. Enamoured by African spirituality, Christian iconography and renaissance art she employs its purpose of cultural impact, liturgy and instruction for an improved society within her works. Shannon explores the internal body as well as the external, by merging the design of notable fabrics from Africa with biological structures and chemical processes in living organisms for the backgrounds of her works and using the anatomy as a second canvas in the foreground. She views the body as a powerful signifier that provokes dialogue, playing with pose, gesture and the gaze to challenge reality. In 2021, Bono presented her first solo exhibition titled “The hands that hold you,” at the Anderson Contemporary, London. She was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries award 2021 showing at Firstsite and The South London Gallery. Recent exhibitions include"The Red Room" presented by Berntson Bhattacharjee gallery at Cromwell Place,  ”Love is the Devil: Studies after Francis Bacon” presented at Marlborough Gallery (2022), “Bold Black British,” presented at Christie’s (2021), “Reclaiming Magic” Royal Academy Summer exhibition and 'WOP' Avant Arte x WOAW Gallery Hong Kong (2021-2022). Other notable exhibitions she has participated in include The Lee Alexander McQueen Sarabande Foundation, Workplace Gallery and the Copeland Gallery. Shannon has been featured in Dazed Magazine and online press by Elephant magazine, Wallpaper magazine, Bustle, i-D and Soho house.

Gabriela Giroletti is a Brazilian artist based in London. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from Middlesex University and a Master’s in Painting from the Slade School of Fine Art. In her work, Giroletti explores the language of painting and its infinite possibilities as a metaphor for life and its experiences. Everything becomes material for her investigation, from a surface, a memory, a landscape, a quality of light, or a detail. Always suggesting things from the natural world and its energy, her work has a unique materiality and strong physical presence. The artist has held solo exhibitions: Inevitable Orbits, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, West Palm Beach; Sunsets & Rains, Backslash Gallery, Paris (2024); Mingling Currents, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London; Moons, Commonage Projects, London, (2023); Breezy, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London (2021).

Molly Martin (b.1990, lives and works London) Molly attended a small Steiner School for her primary education. Here, she developed a deep understanding for creative hand work, and developed a particular affinity to drawing and painting from a young age. She studied Illustration at Falmouth University College of Arts (2012-2014) and recently graduated with distinction for her Masters in Fine Art from City and Guilds London Art College. Through drawing and painting, Molly endeavours to better process complicated human relationships and interactions, and observe them through a wider lens of humour and playfulness. Her work is figurative, and often plays with narratives that speak of overall themes rather than a specific story. Here, semi-swaddled, squashed figures encounter strange and symbolic surroundings in chaotic and ambiguous landscapes.

Daisy Nutting is an artist and facilitator living and working in London. In 2021 she graduated from the Royal Drawing School’s postgraduate programme where she first utilised automatic drawing. As a starting point, she uses figurative drawing to visualise and understand intimate psychological dramas and relationship dynamics. These works develop in depth and complexity into narrative sequences exploring memory, storytelling and perceptions of ownership. She uses multi-plate aquatint etching to portray layers of time and multiple perspectives overlaid to represent different levels of consciousness and to see how they interact with one another.

Aimée Parrott’s (b.1987, lives and works Brighton) practice comprises painting, printing, drawing, sculpture and installation. The artist’s understanding of painting, her primary medium, informs ideas expressed throughout her practice as a whole. Approaching the canvas as a fragile and permeable boundary - a metaphorical skin or body that holds the trace of time, thought and gesture - Parrott explores notions of transformation, connectivity and exchange. Recent works continue to explore the disjunction between internal sensations and exterior impressions with works that hover between gesture and form, suggesting hybridity, metamorphosis and a symbiotic blurring of boundaries.

Amy Steel completed her MFA in 2019 from the Slade School of Fine Art and her BA from Goldsmiths University London in 2015.

Olivia Sterling’s (b. 1996, Peterborough) paintings critique racialised discourses through the depiction of everyday objects and settings. On her zoomed-in canvases, limbs of different skin tones are often placed in ordinary scenes, and colour blocks are tagged with letters and numbers referencing to racial compartmentalisation. While Sterling’s slapstick style, vibrant colours, bold brushstrokes and cartoon-styled outlines seem to be cheerful at first glance, they serve the artist’s aim to unveil the underlying systemic racism, prejudice and everydayness of othering that pervade our society even in the most mundane activities. Graduating with an MA in painting from the Royal College of Art, Sterling was exhibited at Guts Gallery (London, 2022), NEVVEN (Gothenburg, 2022), CCA Goldsmiths (London, 2021), Cob Gallery (London, 2021), Galerie Droste (Paris, 2021), Blank Projects (Cape Town, 2020), White Cube (Online, 2020) Sterling lives and works in London, United Kingdom.

Hannah Tilson (b. 1995, London, UK) lives and works in London. In her paintings and prints, Tilson makes self portraits, encompassing her body in fast-moving ‘pattern-scapes’ - kinetic landscapes made of patterns. Veils of luminous, translucent, raw powder pigments are built up, vividly blurring the figure and foreground.
Tilson graduated from the Royal Drawing School ‘21, Slade School of Fine Art ‘18, New York Studio School exchange programme ‘16 and completed a residency at Palazzo Monti in 2022 and Plop London in 2024. She exhibited in the Whitechapel Gallery Art Icon Auction 2024 and presented a solo exhibition, Soft Cut, at Cedric Bardawil, London in 2023.
