Helle Johansen-Baker designedbyhelle Helle Johansen-Baker is a Danish-born UK-based abstract artist working in Westcliff-on-Sea. With a background in graphic design and photography, Johansen-Baker employs mark-making, scraping and improvisation to explore colour and form. Johansen- Baker’s work reflects memory and emotional presence, where the interplay of surface and depth evokes space, tension and quiet narrative within vibrant abstraction. Soft Armour is framed and finished with a layer of cold wax medium, polished to a subtle shine. The work explores the tension between concealment and exposure. Muted greens, warm browns, and worn textures evoke the sense of memory-laden fabrics or time-weathered surfaces. The piece feels both introspective and resilient, like a well-loved garment holding stories in every thread.
Hoi Yu Karen Ge, an illustrator from Hong Kong and Canada, creates uplifting narratives of self-discovery. Using digital techniques, layered textures and bold flat forms, Ge crafts vibrant, saturated worlds that spark joy and introspection. Through playful colour, striking composition and symbolic motifs, Ge explores how illustration can foster wonder, healing and deeper human connection across cultures. The Drops That Made Me depicts a figure seated in quiet contemplation, surrounded by a rain of multicoloured droplets. Each droplet carries its own hue, representing a life experience gradually absorbed into the figure. As these drops merge, the once-neutral form transforms into a vibrant mosaic shaped by past encounters. The work visualises identity as an ever-evolving composition, where every absorbed moment contributes to the making of a singular and irreplaceable self.
Hebe Wohlrab is a London-based artist with a background in oil painting. Incorporating CAD software into her practice, Wohlrab combines traditional and digital approaches to expand the possibilities of form and structure. Her work explores the intersection of materiality and technology. Through this synthesis, Wohlrab investigates how sculptural and painterly languages can evolve to reflect contemporary experience. The Eleventh Law of Power takes the form of a handbag, evoking the ways female power has been confined to the body and its desirability. At once seductive and unsettling, it suggests both allure and constraint, exposing how agency is mediated through commodification and the aesthetics of possession, positioning desirability itself as a currency through which autonomy is negotiated, commodified, and withheld.
Harriet Owles merges figuration with geometric abstraction, combining precise forms with expressive figures. Influenced by a background in film, Owles seeks to evoke subconscious emotion, where shapes and figures resonate beyond words, weaving human presence into geometry to create works that reveal hidden narratives and the emotional charge of form. Three Points Where Two Lines Meet depicts three figures arranged in a triangular composition. The triangle serves as both geometric foundation and symbolic structure, reinforcing balance while binding the figures within its form. Expressive realism is flattened into the geometry, dissolving boundaries between person and shape. Glossy areas reflect light as matte zones absorb it, producing a shifting tension between flatness and volume.
