Grey Crawford (US)
Grey Crawford was one of the first conceptual artists from the 1970s to do photographic color manipulation in the darkroom. His “Chroma” series combines the urban landscapes of Southern California with the masked-in geometric shapes, reminiscent of the west coast hard edge painter John McLaughlin. Crawford’s colors are inspired by the Mexican architect Luis Barragán and marks a new chapter in the history of color photography. These works have only been recently rediscovered after being archived 45 years ago.
Grey Crawford (b. 1951) in Inglewood, CA, US. He lives and works in Los Angeles, US. His works, rediscovered after 40 years, recently have been shown at the Fundación Helga de Alvear, Cáceres, Turku Museum, and incorporated into collections at the Getty Museum, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and major private collections.

Interview with Grey Crawford about the series "Chroma Figura, 1978 - 84"
Jakub Julian Ziółkowski (PL)
In Jakub Julian Ziółkowski's world, one can detect a faith in the power of the mysterious affinities which link together the human and the supernatural. His figures create tension between these two forms, questioning what is fact. The characters in his paintings can have human qualities, paired with unfamiliar qualities, shown through color, anatomical placement, and cultural symbolisms. Taking a multicultural approach, compromised of Native American, Buddhist, and Aboriginal origins, Ziółkowski creates a kaleidoscope of powerful ideas and symbols.
Jakub Julian Ziółkowski (b. 1980) lives and works in Krakow. He has exhibited at many institutions, including Hauser & Wirth, London (2017), Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection (2021), Marian Goodman Gallery (2016), Biennale di Venezia, 55th (2013), 8th Gwangju Biennale (2011), and The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York (2009).

Dominik Lejman (PL)
In 2018, Dominik Lejman received the prestigious Visual Arts Prize from the Akademie der Künste (DE) in recognition of his contributions to the medium of painting and in particular his engagement with time. His beautiful, abstract canvases provide a temporary stage for light-painting performances that explore themes of human anonymity as well as the struggle against political determinism in a modern, technological world. His work blurs the line between reality and a sense of constructed fantasy, opening our imagination in the same way a magician does when he dares us to see the invisible.
Dominik Lejman’s (b. 1969, Gdańsk, PL) works have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, including: After the Wall at Moderna Museet Stockholm (1999; SE), Berlin’s Hamburger Bahnhof (2000; DE), the Polish Pavilion at the 9th Venice Biennale of Architecture (2004; IT), the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (2008; JP) and Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (2022; DE).
