Cities do not simply exist; they beat. They thrum with the layered rhythm of footsteps, machines, human voices, disappearing histories, and futures being built in real time. They hold contradictions—fragility and force, chaos and order, solitude and proximity—all compressed into concrete, light, metal, memory, and motion. The 85th release and a special exploration of the theme Urban Pulse bring together international artists whose works illuminate the living, breathing comple

Collect Art Gallery presents Tamar Gedevanishvili's Solo Exhibition 'Given Time'. What is the time given to us? Does it exist, or is it a figment of our imagination? And what does “given to us” mean? Why do we cross paths with someone or something? Sometimes we are here, in this time, and sometimes there, in another time. Why were we given this time? Somewhere in the virtual world we can create or destroy. Surely that, too, will have its reality. What is seen from afar is some

Imogen’s body of work investigates the many forms vandalism can take when understood beyond its traditional visual definition. Drawing on longstanding influences from the Situationist International movement and the principles of psychogeography, this practice develops these perspectives to examine how women and individuals who do not identify as cis male navigate urban environments. The work focuses particularly on the ways routes, movements, and behaviours shift after experi

Through her constant reinterpretation of contemporary life and the cultural dynamics encountered in societies, Laura Candet explores the lack of mental and identity balance within these communities and cities, while also studying society's influence on the collective mindset. Through the artist's juxtaposition of sacred and urban architecture with powerful symbols such as animals and sacredness, Laura Candet draws a fine line between everyday security and the horror that stem

In every era, artists have turned to the dream as a place of truth—an inner landscape where logic softens, memory rewrites itself, and imagination becomes a terrain with its own weather. In this special 84th volume of Collect Art Magazine, we step deliberately into that realm. Dreamscapes invites us beyond the boundaries of waking life, presenting a curated journey through visions conjured by painters, sculptors, photographers, digital artists, and multidisciplinary creators

Exploring the different cultural and identity identities within Romania and Eastern Europe as part of her PhD, Laura Candet identifies and studies the relationship between traditions, contemporary society, indigenous rituals, and their relevance to the present day. Since prehistoric times, humans have used rituals to capture and understand the universe they are part of. Now more than ever, we need to reintroduce the sacred into the profane context of the present day. Thus, by

Mihone Forsyth is a Japanese–British oil painter shaped by a childhood spent across France, Belgium, Spain, and England. The varied geographies of these places inform a practice centered on dreamscapes drawn from vast open terrains and the traces of desolate, barren environments. Everyday objects frequently appear within these imagined worlds, placed in unfamiliar contexts where their usual functions dissolve. Typically overlooked in daily life, these objects gain an uncanny

Nyll Axis is the pseudonym of an artist who prefers to remain incognito. His paintings emerge as nameless presences moving through shifting layers of perception. There are no stories, no time — only appearances and disappearances. What remains are abstract glyphs with the illusion of meaning: thresholds, lines, dissolving architectures. These are not narratives, but signals, pointing beyond knowledge toward the vanishing wall of the self.

A visual investigation into the multiple breathing organisms populating our planet. Stemming from the investigations into carbon-based life on our planet, these drawings often think of the Earth as a complex breathing machine of nature with multiple carbon-based components regulating the gases in our atmosphere. Alongside the investigations into the carbon building blocks of these organisms, the drawings also highlight the delicate nature of our planet and the need to protect

Sarah Hughes is a visual artist from the North East, based in Sheffield. She creates paintings and drawings inspired by nature, folklore, and the body.
