old self taught artist from Galway on the west

coast of Ireland. My artistic practice involves

exploring the idea of pure physical expression,

how the body alone can portray emotion and

the individuals self image. I tend to exclude or

distort the face in my paintings as I believe facial

expressions can be more easily fabricated than

the rest of the body. I believe that all humans,

with practice, can master the ability to control

what their facial expressions tell the outside world

yet the body language is less easily manipulated.

I am currently working on my art in my studio,

career with pursuing his passion for art.

The amalgamation of the experiences of his life

as a doctor and artist, Ranjit’s art is an exploration

of human nature in a natural, visceral form.

Fascinated by human nature through his daily

experiences and interactions with his patients,

Ranjit expresses these emotions through his

art. Ranjit challenges his art has to speak the

emotions and feelings it portrays.

He draws the connection between human

behaviour and emotion and that seen

throughout the animal world to the effect that

his art is perfect blend of these. He challenges

himself to bring to life these fascinating animals

Riddhi Sarker

My name is Riddhi Sarker. I’m a 17-year-old artist

from Hyderabad, India. I am a very loud, curious,

and bored person, if I’m being completely

honest, especially now during the pandemic.

This is one of the reasons why I love to experiment

with medium and style in my artwork. It allows

me to break any monotonous routines that I

end up creating for myself, and find inspiration

in the world around me. A few of my biggest

inspirations are the artists Christina Quarles,

Yayoi Kusama, and Jean Michel Basquiat. In my

artworks, I like to emphasize colour and explore

themes of childhood and nostalgia.

Hadley Rittger

Minneapolis based artist, Hadley Rittgers,

creates work that focuses on the relationship of

the human with the environment. Her passion for

the environment and interest in nature heavily

influence her creative practice. She recently

finished her undergrad in studio art and graphic

design at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota

and graduated May 2021. She will continue to

invest in her creative practice post-grad and

hopes to get her MFA in ceramics in the future.

different medias, materials and realities can

My work often explores a variety of topics

including identity, personal feelings and the

relationship with the inner self and the outside

world. The surreal mind and physical realities. My

work is inspired by my day to day life, experiences

and challenges I face, it is an expression of my
