Katharina Schilling
Katharina Schilling’s practice focuses on painting and the objecthood within the medium. Schilling explores the perception of objects by detaching them from their original order systems and shifting them into a new context. The figuration and the puzzling cohesion form a display, which at the same time overcomes and preserves itself. In this process, the realism of the objects is transformed into a state of abstraction.
Katharina Schilling (born 1984, Cologne) received an MA from the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. She has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including a grant from DAAD’s London branch, the Prize of the German Federal Bank Frankfurt and the Marion Ermer Prize, awarded by Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig. Schilling’s work has been presented in art spaces throughout Europe including Cologne, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig, Bologna, Vienna and London.

André Hemer
André Hemer’s practice pursues a new mode of representation in painting, whereby image and form are transacted back and forth between materialised and de-materialised states. In doing so, Hemer’s paintings literally re-present the contemporary experience of digital media through the traditional painting object, revealing the most basic changes to our phenomenological experience of the contemporary world.
André Hemer’s work has been exhibited at Luis De Jesus Los Angeles; Yavuz Gallery, Singapore; Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London; Tristian Koenig Gallery, Melbourne; Total Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul; and Münchner Stadtmuseum, Germany. In 2016 he was awarded a New Generation Award by the Arts Foundation of New Zealand, and was the winner of the Wallace Arts Trust Paramount Award. He has been included in major publications such as 100 Painters of Tomorrow, Thames & Hudson, London, and Art and the Internet, Black Dog Publishing, London. In 2016 Hemer was invited to edit the publication Painting Regarding the Present, published by Naives and Visionaries, Berlin. He is based in Vienna, Austria.
