Igor Grechanyk is a sculptor and artist whose work blends philosophical symbolism, mythopoetic imagery, and a contemporary sculptural language. His creations are visualized fragments of spiritual experience, resonating with the collective unconscious and touching on the eternal questions of human existence. He gives form to the undefined, materializing spirit in bronze. Born in Kyiv into an artistic family, Grechanyk graduated from the Kyiv State Art Institute in 1984. His ea

Goran Tomic, a self-taught artist from Sydney, Australia, creates collages that capture the chaotic beauty of urban life. His pieces, often made on the move—in cafes, pubs, or even on public transport—reflect the shifting dynamics of his surroundings and daily routine. Prompted by his transition from a spacious house to a compact apartment, Goran utilizes materials like cardboard, envelopes, and old book covers, blending them into distinctive compositions that embody the city

Geraldine Leahy is a contemporary landscape artist with an interest in environmental concerns. She returned to education to study art with The Open College of the Arts, the distance-learning partner of The University for the Creative Arts (Farnham, England). A lifelong interest in landscape and the natural world informed her degree studies, and in her final project, she focused on the damaging effects of coastal erosion on one of her local beaches. She has continued to engage

Yiwen Liang’s work centers on four interconnected themes: rules, change, connection, and transformation. Rules establish human order; change drives evolution; and shared vulnerability forms the link between individuals—echoing the “mother tree” systems of nature, where connection emerges through fragility. Cultural influence continually reshapes the meanings of materials, allowing new rules to arise as discourse expands. In Linked in Fragility , inspiration is drawn from the

Miriam Habibe is an emerging Welsh-based artist of BAME South Asian heritage whose creative journey embodies resilience, identity, and self-discovery. After years devoted to parenthood and a full-time career, she has returned to her artistic roots, crafting deeply expressive works that bridge tradition and modern experimentation. Drawing inspiration from craft forms like weaving, she merges abstraction and mixed media techniques, forging an artistic voice that is uniquely her

Mel creates immersive fantasy worlds from hand-cut paper and film, inspired by the rhythms of nature and the transient moment. She initially studied film and did art direction for pop videos and magazine shoots, always on the low-budget side, though one of the videos got to No. 1 in the UK charts! She then worked as a specialist painter and furniture restorer, making and selling painted furniture and artefacts from recycled materials and things she found in skips. As a child,

By intensely studying both human nature and the ritualistic nature of the society we live in, Laura Candet contributes to this subject by recontextualizing human consciousness and sacred rituals from Eastern European traditions, reintroducing them into contemporary visual art. Bridging imagination and creation, the artist uses symbols found naturally in human consciousness to expose the strange feeling of belonging within nature, the human spirit, spirituality, and beyond. By

Hobby artist and semi-professional creator, Bina has participated in several contests through art groups, receiving notable appreciation and four prizes to date. Artistic work has appeared in four thematic online exhibitions and one physical group exhibition. Still developing a fully defined artistic voice but guided by a clear mission, Bina aims to cultivate innovative paths while exploring and embracing the complexities of life—balancing elegance with contradiction, and tru

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
