    Aaron Kudi is a contemporary painter, born in Bauchi, Nigeria, he lives and works in London. He grew up between Nigeria and London and Devon in the UK. He has a BSc in Psychology from London Metropolitan University, an MSc in Psychology from University College London and worked as a sculptor before becoming a painter. Aaron has undertaken residencies at Thread, Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, Senegal, 2024 and the British School at Rome, 2025. He is currently studying in the second year of an MFA at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Aaron’s practice explores aspects of human experience and consciousness in relation to our contemporary world. His paintings are abstract with echoes of figuration. Combining gesture, colour and surface, Aaron explores the materiality of paint to evoke sensations of the immaterial, with both a sense of intimacy and unease. He says ‘I’ve come to think of painting as a kind of tending a slow, sometimes painful cultivation of what must grow and what must go. My own garden has been seeded by many things: the faith and science that lived side by side in my childhood home, the Nigerian Pentecostal rhythm of prayer and praise, the analytical precision of my father’s scientific mind, and the layered questions of belonging that come with moving between cultures. These early contradictions planted a fascination with dualities: control and surrender, knowing and feeling, faith and doubt. My painting practice, at its core, lives in the space between those states, between what I intend and what I could never fully control.’

    Jo Hummel is a contemporary British painter who lives and works on the Isle of Wight. She trained at the Royal College of Art and has established an international exhibition profile across the UK, Europe, the United States and South Africa. Her work is rooted in reductionism, using symbols and sacred geometry and engages with ancient spiritual concepts such as Sunya, the Sanskrit term for void and infinity, concerning the balance between emptiness and possibility. Colour assumes a pivotal role in Jo’s work, valued both for its subjective sensory impact and its psychologically transcendent qualities. Jo works with paper, collaging to create paintings through a careful balance of shape, colour, form, and material. Jo has had several solo shows including Stars Wrapped in Skin at Victor Lope Contemporaneo, Barcelona (2025), Looking Out, Barnard Gallery, Cape Town, South Africa 2023, Somewhere Here, But Far Away, 45 Park Lane, London, 2023 and two person shows at Gruin Gallery, Los Angeles and Fold Gallery, London. Her work has been shown in major group exhibitions including Flowers Gallery, London, Interface at Lille Grand Palais, Art Karlsruhe, Germany, the London Art Fair and the 53rd Venice Biennale. Her paintings are held in various collections including Christian Dior, Clintons, London, the Kilburn Foundation (Cape Town), LinkedIn London Headquarters, and The Shelborne Hotel, Miami Beach. Jo has received several grants from Arts Council England, including a DYCP Award in 2024. She is represented by The Tagli (London), Macadam Gallery (Brussels), Víctor Lope Contemporaneo (Barcelona), and Amelie du Chalard (Paris/New York). In Spring 2026 Jo will be Artist in Residence at Thread, Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, Senegal and in May 2026 she has a solo exhibition at Benjamin Eck Gallery, Munich.
