Alex Anaughe 

Alex Anaughe is a young Greek-Nigerian self-taught contemporary oil painter born in Athens, before moving to England where she was raised in Bradford and permanently resides. Since her childhood, Alex has had a strong connection to her Greek heritage by visiting her family and mother's homeland often, but in the absence of her African heritage, it's through her art that she seeks to connect to it.

The most prominent theme in her work is the creative realm of the black experience; her paintings tend to focus on music, cinema and photojournalism as she's highly inspired by hip-hop and urban culture which influenced her to translate it into visual art. Finding inspiration in jazz, blues and soul music and the socio-political narratives surrounding these genres that have shaped modern culture and the arts. She aims to portray the intimate layers of blackness through her work as homage to those that inspired and shaped the culture. 

Christina Moschou 

Christina Moschou is a Brussels-Based architect and a visual artist originally from Thessaloniki, Greece. She was born and raised in Greece and moved to Belgium in 2013 where she completed her bachelor and master studies in architecture and went to pursue her artistic carreer. Her body of work presented in Divine Divinity is heavily influenced in equal parts by the country in wich she has born, as well as the country in wich she lives in. As this duality holds an important part of the artist's own identity, it forms an integral part of her artistic practise, shaping both her thematic exploration and her visual language.

Her Greek origins, the Mediterranean imagery and references to the ancient Greek mythology resonate in her paintings. Using symbolism as narrative tool and adopting a surrealist approach inspired by Belgian culture, the narrative scenes remain open to the interpretation, inviting the viewer in a contemplative space.

The familiar becomes intimate in the narrative scenes depicted. The human figure often represented as fragments of the classic statuary imagery, is displaced in different almost theatrical contexts, evoking a metaphysical atmosphere.

The narrative scenes, explore universal themes: time, origins, introspection, memories, ties and emotions - bearing collective culture despite interpreting the artist's personal female prism. Shaped by her architectural background, the seemingly bi-dimensional paintings have a sculptural bas-relief quality in them and are characterised by a balanced geometric aesthetic. Different layers and materials add depth and spatiality, creating a play of shadow and light and attempting to bring the narrative into life.

The paintings bear the past but are born from the present, blurring the spatio-temporal boundaries between the ancient and the modern, the real and the imaginary.

Taher Jaoui

Taher Jaoui is a renowned International artist born in Tunisia whose studio is based in Madrid. Captivating and labour intensive, his work continues in line with the legacy of abstract expressionism movement from the 50s and 60s. His paintings are rich assemblages of layered forms, vibrant colours, expressive gestures, mixed with mathematical signs and formulas. Applied on canvas through a dynamic interaction, a physical back and forth dialoque in which perspective and orientation continuously change until all the elements are balanced right, these opulent creations are the artist's personal way of expressing himself.

Jaoui compares his work to a dance routine with a familiar partner, while impulsive and unconstrained in its core, the familiarity with materials is essential for the creative process that strongly depends on the ability to respond quickly and foresee the way the elements will work together. Layering pastels, oils, and acrylics, the artist accents the richness of his work by constructing a raw texture which directly captures the physical energy put into each piece. Serving as a channel to convey his thoughts, emotions, and visions, the artistic practice is Jaoui's source of confidence and peace, while the finished work becomes a documentation of the process of achieving, those feelings. 

Without any formal art education, his artistic practice is influenced by African primitive art, graffiti, glitch art, COBRA movement as well as the philosophy and attitude of post-war abstract expressionism. 

Thekla Papadopoulou
