Guillermo Mora
Guillermo Mora works primarily in sculpture and painting. He thinks about his practice as a process of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Mora’s recent work looks at the forgotten histories of painting and specifically concealment, overlapping and disappearance.

Ruzica Zajec
Ruzica Zajec’s work often poses sensitive questions related to the idea of perception. She is committed to painting and drawing about the awareness of human presence in space, as humans and objects become spatially inseparable in her work. Zajec reflects upon the essence of our being, ideas of tangibility, visibility, and self-awareness. She is particularly interested in working with transparent and multi-layers materials as she experiments with light.
Ruzica Zajec (born 1959, Croatia) moved to Hannover, Germany to study visual art. She has had several solo and group exhibitions in Germany, Sweden, Japan, Croatia, and the UK. In 2014, she was the recipient of ArtPrize from the Mecklenburg Insurance Services Inc in Neubrandenburg, and in 2013, won the Rostock Art Prize.

Tetsugo Hyakutake
Tetsugo Hyakutake works with contemporary issues in relation to their historical contexts. Through his artwork, he creates what he calls his own “truth” shaped by his personal experiences and influences. These “truths” are based on individual beliefs, identities, and relative perspectives rather than facts. Hyakutake’s work attempts to portray one version of the truth, all the while allowing the viewers’ own interpretations.
Tetsugo Hyakutake (born 1975) is a Japanese artist and a fine art photographer. In 2003, Hyakutake moved to Philadelphia and graduated from the University of the Arts. In 2009, he obtained a Master’s Degree of Fine Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was awarded the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship. Hyakutake has exhibited in Tokyo, Philadelphia, New York, Madrid, and Singapore. His work has been acquired by a number of corporate and public collections, including BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, the West Collection, Vertical Screen, Library of Congress, Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
