Lilia Mazurkevich was born Burden of Excess
in Belarus and never intend- oil on linen
ed to become a painter, in 55x80 cm
spite of her father being an 2009
artist and her deep interest
in the art from early child-
hood. Nevertheless she al-
ways knew that her future oc-
cupation was destined to be
a creative one and attended
a four-year course at Junior Art School during her
teens, studying drawing and painting. Later Lilia
obtained a degree in an industrial Design in Kiev,
Ukraine but her passion for painting took over.
She moved to London, UK and studied Fine Art at
City & Guilds Of London Art School. Lilia’s paint-
ings were shortlisted for Summer Exhibition, Royal
Academy of Art and BP Portrait Award National
Gallery; her works are in private collections in the
UK, USA, Italy, Switzerland and permanent collec-
tion of Vienna Phantasmus Museum, Austria.

“The creative Adult is the child who survived”. Following my dreams of becoming an artist
was not my first choice. It was not even my second or third. I am not qualified to even do so
but life has a way of surprising you. I got to live in Cape Town where I realised that creative
people are everywhere. I got to meet amazing people and learn from them. It was here where
I got to embrace my individuality and experience the beauty this country has to offer. It was
in Cape Town where I got to apply paint to a canvas for the first time. An amazing artist and
a dear friend of mine allowed me to experience the wonders of art. An obsession to express
myself in a creative way was born. It took me a few years to find my style as well as the cour-

age to share my style with the rest of the
world. My love for the facial expressions
and rich skin colours narrowed it down
to a style I like to call “Afri – PopArt”.
Afri-PopArt was born in my studio in
Pretoria when I merged my passion for
the “Rich skin” and my amusement for
the once famous but forgotten Pop Art
style. Hope you enjoy my work as much
as I do…

The paintings of Willy Bihoreau launch
us into post-end-of-the-world industrial
landscapes. His visions, as realistic as
they are horrifying, begin as an assem-
blage of photographic elements which
are then applied to canvas and totally
reworked in acrylic. “The idea is to show
a future in which our civilizations are
but traces, memories of the time when
humanity ceaselessly pillaged, poisoned
and destroyed life and resources. The
point is to participate in the awakening
of consciousness which is imperative for
our future. But perhaps mankind is still
too backward to deserve survival...“

Carine Hansel was born in Luxem- 103

arts made her deepen and interro-
gate her very own artistic techniques
which rapidly metamorphosed into
fervour and obsession. Interpellat-
ing reflections of empty vanities,
Carine Hansel’s skinned and skeletal
corpses reverberate our frail human
condition and summon the specta-
tor to meditation and contemplation.
These paintings echo a call for tran-
scendence in our era devoid of sense
and saturated with materialisms.

The oil paintings of Jaewoo Park take their source in photographic prepara-
tory work. The instantaneous nature of the shutter contrast with their long and
laborious transcription on canvas, doing superposing, waiting for drying and
retouching... The original photographs are taken quickly, without flash, even
at night, giving a character blurry and imprecise, as if they were reflected in
a window or viewed through a steamy glass. Jaewoo Park reproduces scru-
pulously these imprecision in his paintings, which gives an intimate aspect,
fragile, real but sometimes unreal. In contrast to a cold and mechanical hy-
perrealism, his paintings affect us just by their desired imperfections, generat-
ing a huge plastic delight.

Les Gens Monica is a self-taught vis-
mixed media ual artist from Cleveland,
24x36 cm Ohio. She studied French/
2013 art history at La Sorbonne
and earned a BA in Liberal Arts from Lincoln
University,PA. Transforming images into non-tra-
ditional compositions fascinates her. She attempts
to explore how images and concepts are inter-
preted in an abstract dimension. Subjects that
appear stable in a realistic setting demonstrate
unstable properties in the abstract realm. What
appears to be genuine is nothing but a façade.
The emotional instability of humans is presented
in its natural state, raw and disoriented. Graphic
elements, such as lines, shading and intense col-
ours are utilized to express the true emotions.

64x24 inches IT was called art. Every stretch of my life somehow awarded me
2012 with a bit of time when everything else came second. However,
most of my works have been done within the last ten years,
when time felt especially precious. In other words, a few paint-
ings from the last century are gone without trace, a few in the
current one are destined to remain with me. Mostly in a digital

paintings, drawings and sculptures, some of these have been commis-
sions from clients within the UK and Europe. Recently I have developed
my technique using the airbrush. I am a multi skilled artist who is not
tied to one media. I choose materials based on their relationship with my
concept and what can be interpreted from such means.”

David was born in St. Asaph, North Wales and earned engineering
and economics degrees at the University of Birmingham. He had
his first curated art show of Indian ink and brush drawings in Paris,
France. His recent “The Cycle of Life” series of oils depict the seven
stages we all go through as we experience life which are: Special;
Invincible; Pressure; Vulnerable; Fragile; Acceptance; and finally
Wisdom and Preparation. David’s current work is focused on a road
trip across the United States and depicts in oil his impressions of the
journey in his precisionist dreamscape style.

TaítaM.Cunha www.facebook.com/TaitaMCunha

In the Jingle Taíta M. Cunha was born in Huambo on March 29th 1959, and
gouache on paper spent her adolescence in Caala, Angola,. She graduated in Engi-
42x29,5 cm neering and has a post-graduation in Quality Engineering. In Jan-
2010 uary 2009, she started drawing – she’s self-taught. The drawings
by Taita M. Cunha reflecting the Psychology Gestalt that argues
that: “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, depict a true
challenge of mental flexibility. The multiple optical illusion effects
transport the visual perception towards the fantasy world. It takes
more than a mere glimpse to observe them.

My work consists of 143
various materials and
building techniques.
I am fascinated with the
way things are made
in relation to how they
function. I am constantly
excited to learn more
about methods of pro-
ducing form and applying
these methods to the sculptures I create. Organ-
ic structures found in nature and their com-
parison to the industrialized world in which
we live tend to divide my curiosity between
locating their differences, and also finding in-
fluence of natural design in manmade forms
and structures. I currently work for an art and
architectural design studio based in Brooklyn,
New York.

Elders
pre-painted
collaged canvas
60x80 cm
2013

The Athlete Working full-time from his
pre-painted collaged canvas studio in London, Patrick
144x220 cm creates work that studies
2013 the distorted values that
we place on objects, ex-
periences and each other.
The ‘Heads’ are created
using torn up canvas, each
piece representative of a
painterly mark.
During his role as a London Olympic Storytell-
er, Patrick met and painted Oscar Pistorius. The
athlete’s subsequent fall from grace prompted
the artist to reflect upon representatives of mod-
ern society. The size of the pieces pays tribute
to the subject, acting almost as a shrine. But
the intricate and fragile nature of them, with
some pieces often pinned to the wall, suggests
an impermanence. We ask ourselves, how easy
could it be to tear this person apart? The piec-
es touch upon themes of human fragility, our
own morality and the hypothesis that greatness
is ultimately flawed. Patrick exhibits regularly
throughout the capital.

Born 1950. He comes
from a three genera-
tions artistic family. He
started painting in the
’70s, very much influ-
enced by Francois Mo-
rellet and Vasarely. The
“structure”, the “haz-
ard”, and the “games”
played an essential role
in the construction of his surfaces. He start-
ed creating organic surfaces in the 1980’s.
Sea, Earth and Sky are his building blocks
and source of inspiration. He directs our at-
tention to natural materials that we usually
take for granted and pass by without notic-
ing. In this way he creates a strong link be-
tween the past and the present, by revealing
the Nature’s contemporary abstract aspects.
His work has been shown at London, Paris,
Madison-Dakota, Brussels, Tournai, Shangai
and Los Angeles.
