Matthew Kenneth Hendricks, PhD (b. 1994) is a self-taught visual artist based in Cape Town, South Africa. A Coloured South African and part of the country’s “born-free” generation, his perspective is shaped by post-apartheid social and economic shifts, and by an ongoing search for belonging within them.

An abandoned house with peeling walls, an empty factory reclaimed by nature, a forgotten photograph tucked inside an old book, a neglected object gathering dust—these places and things often speak more profoundly than those still in active use. They exist between presence and absence, carrying traces of lives once lived, memories once cherished, and histories that continue to echo long after their original purpose has faded. In this special edition, we explore Abandoned as a

Childhood is often described as the beginning of life, yet it is equally the foundation upon which memory, identity, imagination, and perception are built. It is a time when the world appears boundless, when ordinary objects become extraordinary, and when curiosity shapes our understanding of ourselves and the spaces we inhabit. In this special edition of Collect Art Magazine, we explore Childhood not simply as a stage of life, but as an enduring source of artistic inquiry—on

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 e

‘’How I became a sculptor still eludes me. I had a lifetime as a fashion & advertising photographer and academic, winning awards and medals for the work, shooting for clients as diverse as Vogue magazine and Rio Tinto, in Europe, the States, Singapore, Japan, India, Iraq, and Turkey. Fellowships in the Arts, Design and Photography plus a Masters degree and a Doctorate in Philosophy possibly all helped form the ideas that I subsequently turned into the 'WINGED MINOTAUR' series

Yuange, a graduate of Central Saint Martins (Architecture), explores the shifting relationship between structure, material, and life. Beginning with grids, modules, and architectural fragments, he transforms them through sculpture and image-making into unstable systems where structures collapse, deform, and reorganise as ongoing processes of becoming. In his practice, materials are not passive but act as agents with their own logic and tendencies, allowing forms to move betwe

THE NUDE IS NOT SIMPLY AN IMAGE OF THE BODY. IT IS AN IMAGE OF BEING. The human body has been one of the most enduring subjects in the history of art. Long before written language, it appeared in cave paintings, carved into stone, modeled in clay, and later immortalized in marble, bronze, paint, photography, and digital media. Across civilizations and centuries, the nude has served as a mirror of humanity—reflecting not only physical form but also identity, vulnerability, pow
