The artists
Katharina Arndt
Katharina works between Berlin and Barcelona. She uses painting, drawing and neon letters to reflect contradictions of modern life: hyper-connection and isolation. Katharina works on artificial materials like PVC film, lacquer paper and plexiglass with glossy acrylic paint and touch-up pens. The characters in her work look almost childlike, and are often wearing sunglasses, looking at their smartphones and have mixed expressions of stress and happiness.

Joshua Perkin
Joshua grew up on a farm 150km from London and lives and works in Barcelona. His paintings are an abstraction of reality and show a universe created from visual references and imagination that the viewer can dive into. Joshua's work generates more questions than answers around the characters and landscapes in his work: who are the people there? How are they feeling? Where are they? All of us are invited to create our own story and interpretation of his paintings.
Yaroslava Umanets
Yaroslava sees painting as free therapy. In her work, she expresses emotions and stories with simplified shapes, letters and bright colors. Her artistic crush since she's a teenager has been Joan Miró, that's why she paints with black, white and primary colors. Besides him, Yaroslava is also inspired by Cubism, Expressionism, Illustration and Comics. She works in Barcelona and the hundreds of contemporary artists in the local scene are a huge inspiration as well.
Sophie Teh
Sophie is interested in depicting familiar forms in unusual ways in her paintings. She manipulates recognisable objects and patterns to explore how cultural conditioning and personal memories influence how we perceive and react to visual stimuli. Sophie’s work contains references from her earlier career in architecture and her South-East Asian Chinese background.
