Fabrice Gygi (b. 1965, Geneva; lives and works in Geneva) was trained in etching at the Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine and then at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Geneva which led him to begin a major production of engravings and linocuts. From the 90s, gradually evolving from a discourse linked to the intimate sphere to a discourse involving society as a whole, he developed an ensemble of installations and sculptures confronting individuals with their role as citizens, constrained between protection and control. Throughout his career, Fabrice Gygi has sporadically used performance as a perpetual exploration of the limits of his body. Borrowing from a minimalist formal vocabulary, he draws inspiration from urban infrastructures as well as everyday and nomadic objects, which he diverts from their primary functions thus manifesting ambiguity as a source of tension.

Oscar Tuazon (b. 1975, Seattle; lives and works in Los Angeles) predominantly works with architectural techniques and materials, creating structures and spaces which use building supplies such as steel, glass, and wood and a simple do-it-yourself approach. Tuazon’s sculptures, built by hand, are often quasi-functional objects or models of other spaces. The construction process itself can often be seen as a performative part of the work, as it references the techniques of Land Art and Minimalism in improvised collaborations with designers, engineers, and builders to produce large-scale installations and public projects.

Seth Price (b. 1973, born in East Jerusalem) is a New York-based artist working in a wide range of media, including sculpture, painting, photography, video, music, and poetry. His turn to “painting” in recent years hinges upon an unsettling encounter between material and digital modes of production in his practice. As gestural painting and physical drawing combine with 3D computer graphics in a single object, there is the bodily, materially embedded, vitalist time of traditional painting, and then there’s the algorithmic no-time of digital effects programs, where hand-made marks are automatically reorganized in virtual light.

Christopher Le Brun (b. 1951, born in Portsmouth, lives and works in London) is one of the leading British painters of his generation, celebrated internationally since the 1980s, making both figurative and abstract work in media including painting, sculpture, watercolour and print. He was also an instrumental public figure in his role as President of the Royal Academy of Arts in London from 2011 to 2019. Le Brun employs a mastery of touch and colour alongside a profound understanding of art history and a wide range of visual, musical and literary sources to engage with the major existential, aesthetic and formal questions of painting. His works are notable for their layered, complex, scintillating surfaces, which he describes as ‘non-ironic, primary’ responses to the act of painting.
