Friedrich Kunath (DE)
Friedrich Kunath makes colourful, tragicomic landscapes inspired by German Romanticism and Western popular culture. His works explore themes like love, hope, and loneliness, mixing serious, poetic moods with playful, cartoon-like elements. Small animated figures often appear, bringing moments of unexpected humor into melancholic scenes.
Friedrich Kunath (b. 1974, Germany; lives in the US) graduated from the Braunschweig University of Arts in 1998. His work has been presented in solo exhibitions at institutions including Kunstsammlung Jena, Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga, and KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art, Berlin, and is held in collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, Centre Pompidou, and LACMA.

Morten Løbner Espersen (DK)
Morten Løbner Espersen creates beauty from the “nothingness” of clay. He explores its endless possibilities, experimenting with form, glaze, colour, and surface. His signature cylinders can be varied infinitely, representing stability and inner calm. The firing process adds unpredictability, giving each piece a unique presence, where material, form, and colour come together in a dynamic, living expression.
Morten Løbner Espersen (b. 1965, Denmark; lives in Denmark) studied at Denmark’s Design School and École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Duperré, Paris. His work is held in collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Museum of Arts and Design, and Designmuseum Danmark.
