Tiara Freeman: Paradise - Plaster & oil on canvas
Each painting, regardless of subject, human or plant life is a representation of nature’s resilience and power, never lacking love and always providing life.
Tiara Freeman: In Flight - Plaster & oil on canvas
I choose to sculpt the plant’s form and paint them with bright colours. These sculptures demand attention and appreciation for nature’s beauty while cultivating the serene environment that it affords us.

Shane Stephens: B(L)OOM, Acrylic and Spray paint on Print-
Art is nothing else but urban poetry that catches someone’s eye. Art is an evolutionary act. I spray paint over art because art is a collective thing, participative, interactive, extremely linked.

Veronique Doucet: While waiting for spring 1 - Mixted media -
Le brut et l’esthétique, la matière et la couleur, la nature et la culture que je désire comprendre, confronter et embellir. Je me considère comme un miroir sociétal qui montre une tendance à camoufler la réalité par l’esthétisant.
Translation in english
The raw and the aesthetic, the material and the colour, the nature and the culture that I want to understand, confront and embellish. I consider myself to be a societal mirror that shows a tendency to camouflage reality by aestheticizing it.
