Caroline Absher holds a BA Art History Degree and a BFA Painting Degree from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. In recent years, Absher has become known for her energetic and highly intuitive paintings that shift styles and techniques in search of an ecstatic iteration of her subjects and their surroundings. Equal parts abstract formations and lyrical brushwork, her paintings draw on the artist’s time as a solo world traveller, in-depth study of art history, and her early years in New York City spent building frames of colour and texture in the third dimension on movie sets. Absher’s paintings are often full of mesmerising figures wrapped in rich atmosphere, employing transparent washes and musical strokes to articulate epic natural phenomena and human wonder. In her most recent work, images may leap out or hide for a while, depending on the day, light, and mood of the viewer. Rather than capturing a version of reality, Absher brings the transcendental and subconscious world to life, bridging the gap between external and internal, inferring a collective and infinite ephemerality. Highlights of recent solo exhibitions include ‘Back to Oz’, Fredericks & Freiser, NY (2023); The Journal Gallery at Tennis Elbow, NY (2022); ‘Earthbound’, Makasiini Contemporary, Turku, Finland (2022). Recent group exhibitions include ‘City Life’ with V1 Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark (2024); ‘Apocalypse Now’ with The Journal Gallery, Patmos, Greece (2023); ‘Botany of Desire’ with Swivel Gallery, NY (2024), and ‘Women of Now’ with The Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas (2021). Her work is in the permanent collection of The Portland Museum of Art, USA. Caroline is represented by Fredericks & Freiser in New York.

Annice Fell graduated from the Masters Painting Programme at the Royal College of Art in 2023 and earned her BA in Painting at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL in 2020. Fell’s bold paintings sit between automatic painting and gestural abstraction, drawing on surrealist techniques such as decalcomania and automatism. Her works respond to the shifting meanings of the world, registering thought and feeling through mark-making rather than depiction. What emerges are residues of action and reaction –moments rebuilt from undoing– where medium and matter transform internal states into visceral presence. Fell was the recipient of the Betty Malcolm Prize and the Richard Ford Award. Her work can be found in the collection of the Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, TX, US.
