2020: Celebrate the Studio

Dáreece Walker

Dáreece Walker creates figurative paintings, drawings, and sculpture that address issues about race, identity and religion. He utilizes cardboard to create his pieces as a metaphor for the black American experience; as he considers cardboard a protest art material. For Walker, cardboard symbolizes some of the negative stereotypes associated with being a person of color.

Dáreece Walker has exhibited work at Long Gallery Harlem, New York; Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College; and Kunsthal KAdE, Amersfoort, The Netherlands, among others.

Yasmina Haddad

Yasmina Haddad’s artistic practice is based on photography and sometimes extends to different media such as sculpture, sound and set design. Recent works focus on how different cultural expressions are inevitably connected and how this reciprocal impact manifests through esthetics. The subjects shown often derive from the fields of fashion and theatre, and are portrayed in stage-like situations. Somewhat artificial and glossy, isolated from their usual settings, they depict socio-cultural processes and recall the malaise of postmodern sensitivities.

Yasmina Haddad has exhibited work at Beirut Art Center; Liu Haisu Museum, Shanghai; and Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna, among others.

Habby Osk

Habby Osk’s interests lies in basic physics: balance, movement, gravity, time and force. These concepts play an important role across her art practice as she creates works which test the limits of balance and stability and explore gravity’s influence over time using sculpture, photography and installation as her primary medium. Osk places objects in precarious situations to probe how far they can go without tipping over, to capture the moment of stillness before the looming collapse and the transformation over time.

Habby Osk has exhibited work at Gerðarsafn – Kópavogur Art Museum, Iceland; Akureyri Art Museum, Iceland; and Tina Kim Gallery, New York, among others.
