Guanyi Chen guanyi_chen_art

Guanyi Chen is a painter who creates intricately detailed works inspired by natural and man-made systems. Her paintings, composed of fine lines and countless dots, echo organic growth and digital structures while embracing irregularity within order. Through prolonged, meditative mark making, she explores how systematic precision meets natural imperfection. Minimum Units of Thoughts is inspired by man-made systems and the repetitive structures that drive human history. Mechanical and computational processes are seen as external manifestations of logical thinking, offering access to the inner workings of the mind. Through repetitive and mechanical motions on painted surfaces, Chen explores a shared language between human and machine, entering a realm of programmatic being through continuous re-enactment of a singular motion.

Gusty Ferro, a Brazilian-born artist, works across painting, sound and performance to investigate systems of perception and interaction. Ferro develops works that merge material experiment with narrative exploration. Through an iterative process that spans solo shows and collaborative platforms, Ferro seeks to expose the hidden rhythms of everyday life and provoke reflection on connection, memory and collective experience. Code-Switching references urban infrastructures and marginal city conditions such as hostile architecture, blocked vacant properties, and semi-abandoned sites. The installation consists of modular sculptures built from steel tubes cut, bent, and welded into twisted forms with angular corners. Contact microphones generate feedback loops, transforming the structures into both visual and sonic compositions.

Hami Ahmad

Guoshu Qin’s works are often described as containing absurd and dark humour. Her practice, deeply influenced by contemporary popular culture, merges with her own character. Her images are narrative-driven and expressed solely through painting. She seeks to respond to the world with raw emotions akin to those of a newborn infant, translating these impressions into her imagery. A girl with no head, yet dressed well. The man who hung her upside down to let her bleed thinks he is helping. Love is not about moving yourself.

Hami Ahmad, with a background in architecture, draws inspiration from nature and paints realistic flowers in watercolour. The Blossom is inspired by the vibrant colours of nature and their ability to generate positive energy. Hami Ahmad believes that colour can deeply influence how people feel, and aims to spread positivity and light, especially in a world where finding hope has become increasingly precious.
