- Gabrielle RaaffCape Town, South AfricaArtist Page
Gabrielle Raaff (b. 1970) is a Cape Town, South Africa-based painter who explores figurative and architectural forms within the urban landscape. Working with the ephemeral qualities of watercolor and ink, her diluted pigments abstract her figures into studies of light and dark wandering across her paper landscape. While existing outside a specific place or time,Gabrielle’s minimalist compositions evoke a sense of both "everywhere" and "nowhere".
- Chad KouriChicago, ILArtist Page
Chad Kouri (b. 1985) is a Chicago, Illinois-based artist known for his intuitive, vibrant compositions that utilize the holistic properties of color and abstraction. His mixed-race identity is mirrored by his multidisciplinary studio practice, focusing broadly on visual art, music, and design while considering theories based in minimalism, color theory, semiotics, improvisation, and radical joy. Utilizing a wide range of skillsets and strategies, Kouri reminds us to stay curious and make time for play, rest, and introspection, enabling us more bandwidth for mutual aid and collective community care.
- Sinziana VelicescuLos Angeles, CAArtist Page
Sinziana Velicescu (b. 1989) is an artist and photographer based in Los Angeles, California. Her work explores the subtle tension between built and natural environments, often focusing on quiet, in-between spaces shaped by time. Appropriating architectural vocabulary, Velicescu disrupts everyday topography via careful composition to develop an elegant narrative to tell the story of place.
