Aldo Falconi (Brazil)
Focused on an archeology of the present, I approach human existence as intrinsically urban and question how far back in history this perspective goes.
Drawing attention to the slow formation of our civilization and how it`s constantly being constructed by its inhabitants, a task which comes with great responsibility, as the city is very fragile in comparison to the natural world it is trying to supplant.
At times using cold and aseptic materials, as in a laboratory and at other times using my own body to express myself, I highlight the experimental character of art, reaffirming the ideas of Helio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, of the artist/researcher. I stress the contrasts between civilized values and that which is instinctive and natural, and the price we must pay to live in the community, for being civilized means wanting to live together.
Frelan Laurel Gonzaga (Philippines)
Frelan Laurel Gonzaga is a well-rounded Visayan artist based in Negros Occidental, Philippines. His educational background in Marketing (University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos, Bacolod City, 1998-2005) and his musical inclinations made him artistically prolific.
Although he started a bit late in the visual art scene Frelan is anything but non-progressive. On the contrary, he has shown an impressive development within a short period of time; considering that he has remained focused on his music while supporting his family as well.
In 2011 he became a member of the Art Association of Bacolod (AAB) which paved way for his works to be made more visible to the local art audience. After actively joining more than twenty group exhibitions in the Philippines since 2008, he impressively came up with his first solo exhibition entitled-“Tindak”last June, 2013 in Gallery Orange, Bacolod City.
In “Tindak” (to kick, or to pedal) Frelan depicted his deep fascination with the humble workers of his hometown, particularly to pedicab drivers (a pedicab is a three-wheel transportation driven by the act of pedaling) or street vendors who are required to sell whole-day by pedaling through market areas.“For my first one-man exhibition, I tried to merge my impression of them and insights into their own personal tales. My works are not a judgment of them, but it is a retelling of a part of their lives, as what I learned and I observed on the streets of San Carlos City. I felt that a balance had to be created between the reality of a back-breaking existence, and the joy that can still rise up from a life spent in poverty. My use of bright vivid colors is an attempt to create that balance of happiness and sorrow,” states the artist.
If anything, this queer sense of relativity one has with Frelan’s outlook is, perhaps, because of his natural sensitivity to people and their stories of struggle. The air of familiarity might be rooted to the innate good of human nature which now’a’days seems to grow bleaker and bleaker. The artist looks into the different personas of people especially in the low-income economic areas of his region and flatters them with images of hope; an almost heroic and noble aura about them in the paintings.
Frelan is one of the artists in residence lined up in Project Space Pilipinas, Lucban, Philippines for 2014 and will soon put up a solo exhibition in Manila.
Tristram Miravalles (Philippines)
Paul Tristram Estevanez Miravalles (second of four children) hails from the Visayas Region of the Philippines. Until his formal study in painting (La Consolacion College-Bacolod;Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Painting; 2006-2008), the artist was entirely self-taught.
Locally known as “Uzi,”Tristramis a home-grown talent of Bacolod City-The City of Smiles.However, the artist took on an entirely different route. In return, he offers one of the most tragic, haunting and provocative pieces amongst a rich myriad of Visayan artists; deviating from the often-pleasant imagery associated with their locality.
Tristram dissects his life with the death surrounding him.He mutilates himself through introspection so that he can, bit by bit, offer his stories as raw as can be, one canvas at a time. His tortured, mutated characters are often alone in grey-toned violently-muted textures. The artist’s aesthetic alleviation is sourced from the slopes, curves and descent of his days. Assume, if I may, that it is tragedy and disdain that prods him to paint and recount thoughts into artistic articulation and that it is in the absence of peaceful meanderings whereTristram ultimately sets his brushes afire.
In 2011, he held his first solo exhibition entitled “Mentalshock of Tristram” in Gallery Orange, Bacolod City which was an aftermath of his days behind bars against false accusations. The artist battled through his ten-day calvary as the scars of society were unraveling right before him. This was followed by his recent solo exhibition in Blanc Gallery, Quezon City last July, 2013 entitled “Shallow Grave” which discoursed the constant feeling of non-living amidst all existential proof.
Tristram Miravalles was artist-in-residence of Project Space Pilipinas (PSP) in Mandaluyong City, Philippines in 2011 and Southeast Asia Artist Group Exchange Residency Program III (SAGER 3) in Jogjakarta, Indonesia last June, 2013.

Alexander T. Oleksyn (USA)
Alexander is a Euro-American artist based in Shanghai, China. Engaging with the tradition of abstract painting, his work is driven by the thrill of discovery that occurs during the creative process.
His most recent work investigates the possibilities in using collaboration as a tool to achieve his objective of creating an intriguing and unexpected image.
In his most recent project named “El Dorado”, Alexander set up his studio in a bazaar in Shanghai where he spent his time inviting passers-by to draw freely on his artworks. Using their contributions as inspiration for his ensuing mark making, he repeated this process on a daily basis for over two weeks. This back-and-forth spurred the compositions in ways the artist could not have achieved working independently. What ensued were both a conversation as well as an expansion of the artist’s visual vocabulary.
Alexander T. Oleksyn received his Bachelor of Fine Art from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University in 2004 and his Master of Fine Art from the Glasgow School of Art in 2012. He has exhibited in the United States, Europe and Asia.

Igvars Zalāns
lgvars Zalāns (born 24 September 1962) is a Latvian painter. He is generally identified as an Expressionist and is one of the most influential contemporary expressionist painters in northern Europe. In the course of his career he was influenced by Gutai group, Fluxus movement and other modern art activists and has turned more to the scene of action-painting. Since 2007 Ilgvars Zalans had a 33-country world tour with his action-painting performances. In the past years he has actively taken the opportunities offered by artist residences, thereby traveling almost half of the world. Lately, his art is better known in Indonesia, Malaysia, China and Japan than in Latvia, because he has lived and worked while travelling abroad extensively. In his art Ilgvars Zalans focuses on images and motifs that are fundamental, archetypal, and universal in human experience, as opposed to those that are socially determined. The exhibitions of the artist regularly take place in Latvia and abroad. In 2015 his works were showcased at the Scope Basel and Scope Miami Beach art shows during the ArtBasel weeks and at Art Copenhagen, the Scandinavia's International Art Fair for Contemporary & Modern Art.
Veronika Neukirch
Veronika Neukirch makes assemblages, collages and installations by combining art- & DIY materials with everyday objects to create a new visual dynamic. Decoding the aesthetics of consumerist objects, reusing and developing them as well as using the object itself lies at the heart of her practice. Often taking a positive look at artificiality, she utilises Science-Fiction, Kitsch, Pop-Art and Minimalist aesthetics to humorously question our relationship with objects, fine art conventions and taste hierarchies.
