    Didier William lives and works in Philadelphia, PA. Within his practice, William has developed a distinct and ever-morphing visual language through bold pattern making and use of vivid color. William’s recent work largely draws on his memories of growing up in Miami after immigrating from Port-au-Prince, Haiti as a young boy. Pulling from Haitian history, language, mythology, and his personal experiences, he explores the legacies of colonialism, resistance, and then struggle for agency and identity. His work examines the relationship between formalism – his compositions combine both painting and printmaking techniques and push the limits of figuration and abstraction – and the narrative capacities of painting.

    Liam Everett lives and works in Sebastopol, CA. Everett has established the studio as a site of both investigation and rehearsal. His practice is mediated by a set of open-ended, continually shifting questions. Rather than offering definitive answers, however, Everett’s paintings contemplate the influence of gesture, material, and obstruction. They also serve as records of their material encounters.
     
    In recent years, Everett has become acutely interested in things that show up in our metaphysical field that resist identification, viewing his studio practice as an opportunity to create scenarios for such gestures can come forth. As Everett seeks to fully obliterate any notion of the maker from his work, he has taken on the role of a custodian, combining materials on the canvas and allowing them to slowly react to one another. The resulting work does not come from any source, but rather becomes a unique, regenerative moment which points to the interconnectedness of our environment.

    Koak lives and works in San Francisco. The artist creates emotionally charged portraits, often of female figures, imbuing her subjects with a sense of agency and inner life to challenge patriarchal views of the feminine. Engaging hierarchies of gender as well as form, Koak interrogates commonly held cultural assumptions defining women as passive objects of desire. Drawing on the visual vocabulary of comics and often translating this into sculptural form, the exquisite technique Koak is known for allows her line-making to appear beautifully effortless, but is in fact the result of a rare type of generous and hand-made master craftsmanship.

    Zheng Chongbin lives and works in San Francisco. One of the most influential experimental ink painters of the 1980s, Zheng is widely recognized for his work exploring and deconstructing the conventions and constituents of classical Chinese ink tradition and Western pictorial abstraction. Finding inspiration in the natural light and landscape of Northern California where he has lived since the early 1990s Zheng draws influence from his formal training at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou alongside more contemporary references to the Light and Space movement in his intricate works on paper and large-scale installations. The notion of the world as always in flux, consisting of flows of matter and energy that repeatedly cohere and dissipate, is central to his work. Inherent in pre-modern Chinese and especially Daoist thought, this worldview enables contemporary inquiries into complex systems like climate and social behavior, artificial intelligence, and quantum physics. Through the interactions of ink, acrylic, water, and paper, Zheng’s paintings generate and record the processes that underlie the emergence of order and its inevitable dissipation.

    Alex Olson lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Through the use of color, layering, and texture – both in terms of three-dimensional impasto and implications within visual patterning – she controls surface tensions in at once a meticulous and playful manner. Layers appear to peel away to reveal other layers, suggesting several paintings embedded in one, some of which remain forever concealed. Pulling from both historical abstraction and contemporary design, Olson’s paintings consider the juggling act between the eye and the brain to parse out evidence and desires, sources, and analysis, past and present.

    Troy Lamarr Chew II lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. The artist’s rich visual language draws heavy inspiration from hip hop culture. His work looks methodically at systems of coded communication and how this is translated and mistranslated within the African diaspora and throughout the mainstream. A highly skilled realist inspired by European painting techniques, Chew utilizes these art historical traditions to underscore their exclusion of Blackness.

    Hiba Kalache lives and works between San Francisco, CA and Beirut, Lebanon. Within her multidisciplinary practice encompassing drawing, painting and sculptural installation, Kalache addresses the geopolitics of the middle east from the perspective of a female body. On four separate occasions throughout the course of her life, Kalache has left her family home in Beirut behind. Uprooted from her heritage, the abstract idea of translation has been a literal fact of her daily existence and a recurring theme in her work. Her canvases, layered with soft washes of acrylic ink and passionate, intuitive bursts of color, are rooted in a sense of landscape, but the artist’s fragmented and instinctive gestures recall the splintering of memories over the passage of time, leaving traces of emotion untethered to concrete imagery or place. The resulting works, surreal and imagined, exist outside of time and place, referencing the abjectness of the physical body and its experiences.
