Lilian Evans is a UK-born artist based in Glasgow whose practice expands the field of painting through the physical manipulation of waste materials. Evans constructs large-scale draped formations that interrogate the medium, guided by intuition and compulsion. Rooted in a methodology of desire, the works transform obsession into form, embodying the tension between wanting and possessing while reimagining painting as a site of sensual and conceptual exploration. Is it over now? employs the full side of a curtainsider lorry, suspended within a scaffold structure, folded and fixed with 8mm chains, towing shackles, amber reflectors and found industrial hardware. Evans draws on parasociality, fandom and lustful fixation, with the curtain not only a surface but a lover, screen and boundary. It stages an aftermath, distribution paused, and motion halted, materials once used to move goods reconfigured to question consumption.
Lexiong Ying is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores contemporary existential dilemmas and cultural mythologies. Working with 3D-printed sculpture, experimental photography, video, and mixed-media installation, Ying uses playful symbolism and subtle irony to reflect on emotional flux, technological saturation, and the fragility of human connection. In a digital era where authentication is essential, technology promises efficiency yet often imposes constraints, leaving users navigating complex systems of endless management. To visualise this paradox, the project employs data visualisation and the Möbius strip as a metaphor. Its infinite surface symbolises the repetitive cycle of creating, remembering and resetting passwords without resolution. The work satirises security demands while probing the cultural and psychological significance of passwords in shaping identity.
Le Trang is a Vietnamese artist whose large-scale paintings explore the social, cultural and gender structures shaping contemporary Vietnam. Influenced by Vietnamese craft traditions, Modernist landscapes and historical figures, her work elevates female narratives often overlooked in history. Blending personal and collective memory, Le transforms everyday life into a site of reflection on identity, heritage and the extraordinary within the ordinary. Youth’s true treasure is freedom. Even when youth carries its share of pressures and constraints, there is a serene autonomy: the right to choose, to err, to change one’s mind without fear. Leisure Time was born of this idea. Here, the young woman is not defined by urgency or obligation. In painting her, Le seeks to capture the atmosphere of youth’s private sanctuary.
Lexi Gong’s artistic background is a unique synthesis of engineering, visual communication, and humanistic inquiry. This interdisciplinary foundation informs Gong’s current practice as an audiovisual poet. Using soul writing, digital art, and a growing focus on cinematic sound design, Gong creates immersive, cross-sensory journeys that explore the interplay between technology, perception, and societal memory. Ancestral Tangle explores what the artist terms ‘the legacy of knots’. These are the invisible threads of expectation and unresolved history that bind the present. The work examines the struggle for autonomy against forces of societal conditioning, translating an internal battle into visceral form. It reflects on the persistent desire to sever inherited cords of dictation to shape a more autonomous future and to uncover an authentic voice.
