Julian Juhlin

Julian Juhlin creates theatrical visual art using staging techniques he learned while working as a stage designer, establishing a distinct iconography in the artist’s practice. In his works, Juhlin stages figures and objects derived from his own experience, placing them in visual scenes frozen in time in an attempt to maintain and preserve specific stages of life.

Julian Juhlin has exhibited work at Copenhagen Contemporary, Denmark; Prague Quadrennial, Czech Republic; and Royal Danish Theatre, Denmark, among others.

Johanna Mirabel

Johanna Mirabel explores pictorial representation, shifting between abstraction, expressionism, and realism. She stages contradictions and juxtapositions using lush vegetation, partially present and disparate objects to evoke the inherent complexity of life between different cultures. Inspired by Glissant’s Creolisation, Mirabel creates pictorial forms that appear to be in constant motion, in which the characters are embedded, nested, and ready to merge in their moving environment. The artist invites us to inhabit her work, mentally exploring them as parallel realities, as she moves between painting and sculpture.

Johanna Mirabel has exhibited work at Espace des Femmes Antoinette Fouque, Paris; Luce Gallery, Torino; and Manifesta, Lyon, among others.
