Erdal Inci
Is it video art, photography or installation art, you be the judge. Erdal Inci's GIFs just are mesmerizing. Transforming simple snapshots into entrancing video loops, mostly parading through the frame himself, it is a joy to watch over and over again. Erdal Inci is an İstanbul based multidisciplinary artist.

Jonny Vekemans
Belgian Coal Mining Heritage
Former miner Jonny Vekemans knows the abandoned
mines as no other. Using a pinhole camera he shows us the beauty and
the decay of the old Belgian mines. He used to work there and by
cataloging it, he still is in a certain way. Creating even stronger and
more interesting images by producing cyanotypes from his pinhole negatives. Jonny Vekemans lives and works in Genk, Belgium.

Vally Nomidou
Vally Nomidou's "let it bleed" series of life-size sculptures and body fragments are all paper made. She makes use of simple materials such as paper towels, newspapers, handmade paper, cardboard, wire, PVA and wood glue. By arranging the layers she is able to create soft balanced tones in her work. Build around an internal cardboard support, using partial plaster casts she achieves mostly incomplete figures of almost natural beauty. This Greek artist's work is fragile and "non-finito" , they urge the viewer to look inside.

Ivan Pinkava
Contemporary Czech photographer, Ivan Pinkava created his own visual language. Maybe best known from his portraits of awkward and androgynous models.
But his non-figurative black and white pictures are just wonderful. The slightly darker tones draw you into these discarded objects. A feeling of sadness surrounds them, Pinkava has a special ability to give these ordinary objects a new life in his nearly bare studios.

Frederic Geurts
Finding the balance between gravity and motion is often the main theme in Frederic Geurts' work. This Belgian artist constructs fragile,
mostly monumental metal structures. Almost working like an architect or
engineer his artwork becomes a part of the building, nature or whatever places they are designed for.
He is not keen on spreading a message and even though most critics find beauty is not a criterion in modern art, Frederic thinks you don't have to exclude it.
He had his first solo exhibition in Z33, Hasselt, Belgium.
