Trends, seen through our artists
Three themes from this issue, paired with works from our online gallery.
Abstraction and rhythm
Inkognitus Moura
After Hard Art at MoMA PS1, look at how colour and line structure a painting. In Espectro Linear, Moura explores that relationship in acrylic.

Material and gesture
Cathy Cuby
This issue’s focus on material connects with Universe. Cuby combines poppy seeds, eucalyptus bark and acrylic, making texture part of how the work reads.

Identity and self-portraiture
Genia Sheyn
Katayama’s self-portraits invite a closer look at how identity is presented. Sheyn’s mixed-media work Masks offers a different entry point into that question.

Ways of looking
Artist in focus
Mari Katayama
Start with one of Katayama’s self-portraits. Notice how the pose, the setting and the objects around her each tell a different part of the story.

One work, ten minutes
Before reading the label, spend ten minutes with one work. Notice where your eye lands, what changes as you move, and what you’d like to ask the artist.
The art of living on the Riviera
Go beyond the exhibition
Want to feel more at home with contemporary art? Join ARTI Studio for six days on the French Riviera. Visit several galleries and museums with an art historian, talk through what you see, then try it in the studio and outdoors with a professional artist. Over dinner, carry the conversation from Michelin-starred tables to places loved by locals.
