David Kudaisi is a UK-based visual artist originally from Port Harcourt. Working with vibrant, figurative painting inspired by cartoons and memory, Kudaisi explores themes of identity, belonging and joyful Black representation—imagery that was rarely visible during childhood. Drawing on a global upbringing across Nigeria, North America and the UK, Kudaisi creates narrative- driven characters. Aber Baby Ich Bin Gut (But Baby I’m Good) presents a Black character rendered in a playful, iconic style yet imbued with psychological weight. Emerging from a shadowy dimension, the figure holds a mace, his vivid colours are offset by visible turmoil. Expressions and gestures reveal an internal struggle often concealed behind declarations of strength, reflecting cultural and masculine pressures to mask pain. The artwork urges vulnerability, suggesting that silence can consume, while openness may transform.

Dennis Abhuru is a Nigerian visual artist now based in the UK whose practice blends digital art, graphic design and traditional illustration to create symbol-rich, emotionally resonant works. Focused on giving voice to marginalised children, Abhuru depicts vulnerability, resilience and spiritual depth through expressive realism and metaphor, using art to confront silence with empathy and light. In Cost of Light , Dennis Abhuru presents a lone child standing in darkness, holding a candle that melts over a bare hand. The flame illuminates the space at a price, each drop of wax becoming a quiet testimony to pain, resilience and the burden of hope. The work reflects on childhood endurance and unseen strength, representing those who carry more than they should, including children experiencing trauma or neglect, and those living with autism or Down’s syndrome. Often unseen and unheard, they shine not despite suffering, but through it.

Denisa Zajacova is a London-based mixed-media conceptual artist. Her work delves into the paradoxes of sustainable art through themes of everyday life. Zajacova is also a co-founding member of Transit Group, a London-based collective of early-career artists who specialises in workshops for plein air artists to overcome creative blocks. repurposing waste into a refrigerator, Zajacova critiques the balance between creative expression and ecological responsibility. Used-By challenges traditional boundaries of art-making and invites viewers to reflect on their consumption habits by transforming waste into a symbol of domesticity, blending aesthetic innovation with environmental advocacy. Denisa Zajacova confronts the tension between consumerism and environmental urgency. By
