Stephan Joseph Ravare Jr. transcends the title of mere artist. His work embodies the role of a storyteller, channelling ideas, confronting and breaking barriers, and honouring his Louisiana Creole heritage through his art. Viewing art as a catalyst for transformation and acceptance, Stephan uses culture and differences to not only cope with mental health but to inspire solace and creativity.
Roxana Casillas is a sculptor, born in Mexico City in 1964. Her work aims to celebrate the enigmatic aspects of femininity, delving into her own psyche as both the creator and the subject while offering viewers profound insights into the complexities of existence and the journey of self-discovery. Working primarily with contemporary sculpture, Roxana finds joy in the tangible and transformative nature of this medium.
Felipe Farme D'Amoed was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and has lived in the US for the past ten years. In his sculpture, the artist uses plastic and rebar to torture the trunk blatantly. By suffocating the piece, impeding it to breathe and recover, he transfers agony to the offender. Asphyxiation kills all living beings. In each confronting medium, the artist elucidates our concern for the soul and place in the world.
