Elisabeth Sonneck, born in Bünde, Westfalen in 1962. Currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. In Elisabeth Sonneck paintings she combines minimalistic pictorial concepts with coloristic experiments. Her perception of color as an unstable essence, whose effect is ultimately dependent on the color of its surroundings, references the oeuvre of Josef Albers.
Her color rhythms are the direct result of the precise physical and manual action of painting. Subtle nuances in the colors are revealed, in which the consciously reduced painterly gesture emphasizes the temporal process of the painting’s emergence.

Hu Youben creates his paper art on the basis of Chinese traditional paper making techniques and by means of bleeding with ink and water on paper and creasing and folding to form shapes. The motif of such exploration is the action and counter-action on space. It is an unforgettable path in visual art, a great allegory of the extension of life. Hu spends very long time in analyzing the various possibilities in the visual expressiveness of rice paper. Not only does he consider the connotations and denotations of the ink and the indigenous tensile force of the brushstrokes, but also the possible artistic expressiveness of the integration of ink brushstrokes and rice paper as a whole. Hu started his exploration from traditional ink and wash painting on mirror panels and hanging scrolls. Then the plane paper was folded and an enrichment and alteration of the visual effects of ink and wash images appear. This is a remarkable achievement. Hu's art with paper in recent years may be divided into paper relief painting, paper sculptures and paper installations. The attention paid to the characteristics of paper and the exploration of the expressiveness of ink on paper and beyond the space of the paper helps to continuously enrich and expand his realm of paper art. These works bear his profound sentiment toward paper and ink and are full of the artist's awareness of life itself.——Gao Ling
Ng Chung enjoys painting bottles; wine bottles are his self-portraits. As the depressing emotions getting eliminated completely inside Ng Chung’s mind, wine bottles in Ng Chung’s painting starting to be softened through dissolution, with all stiffness and sharpness of ceramics or glasses fading away. On the one hand, it is no longer the daily containers that the wine bottles represent to Ng Chung, instead the art contains Ng Chung’s personal world with his facial expressions, form and emotions. From another perspective, Ng Chung is not any more the Ng Chung in daily entanglement, instead the pure Ng Chung with his solitude, reservedness, humor and revel under the wine bottles. Repeatedly modifying, scratching and smearing Ng Chung did on the canvas, it is never because of the reason that he cannot grasp the natural form of wine bottles, he in fact breaks the tough conceptual shells that are given to the bottles then wait and welcome the appearance of wine bottles phonologically, where the harmony of the world and individual lays behind sensuous in all its glory.——Peng Feng

Since graduating with Distinction from the Royal College of Art in 1992 with a Masters degree in Fine Art Holography, Robb has continually made art, ceaselessly experimenting with three-dimensional imaging. Shortly after graduating, he was invited to submit a landscape work in to the V&A museum’s permanent collection, the first ever hologram artwork to be accessioned by the museum. Robb’s work now features in museums and private collections around the world. Robb is currently best known for his lenticular photographic work focusing on the female nude and abstract forms in space, which he makes in series. The artist has recently begun to produce bronze sculptures working with the female nude, a subject familiar to him, using cutting edge modelling technology combined with historic casting techniques. This radical development is typical of Robb’s open experimental approach in making art, using any combination of tools and technology available to him.
