Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl is a ceramic artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has worked with a myriad of spatial themes and ornaments that frequently reoccur in his formal vocabulary, and which emerge through a methodical, gradual and experimental serial process. Notably, the knot as a shape has been a leitmotif offering possibilities for various sinuous rhythmic cadences and abstract narratives. The hand built architectonic works appear as ‘spatial drawings’–solid, twisting and turning through space. Kaldahl’s interest also lies in the potential of the object to make a direct emotional impact on the viewer. The motif is always clear in its simplicity and easily decoded while remaining open to interpretations. Kaldahl first trained as a potter in the 1970s. In 1988, he joined the Masters program at the Royal College of Art in London, where he graduated in 1990. He is a co-founder of the artist run exhibition platform, Copenhagen Ceramics (CC) launched in 2012. Kaldahl’s works are represented in several public

Charlotte Edey Charlotte Edey is a British artist (b.1992, Manchester). Her work is primarily concerned with contemporary issues of selfhood. Cultural signifiers and personal mythologies are interwoven through a process of world-building. Her imagined realms are peppered with symbolist motifs that explore the politics of embodiment, race, gender and the erotic. Her process combines tapestry and embroidery as an expansion of her drawing practice. Mark-making and gesture are explored through hand-embroidery and beading, forging a relationship between line and thread. Her installations reference ritualistic methods of display that blur the boundary between the real and the represented, forming portals to bodily otherworlds that offer the opportunity to investigate our present.  Charlotte Edey lives and works in London. She studied at Chelsea School of Art and Design and the Royal Drawing School. Charlotte Edey, Cutting Ties, 2022, soft pastel on paper in found cedar frame, 13 1/2h x 11w inches, Courtesy of

Photographer: Guillaume Ziccarelli. Courtesy of the artist and Perrotin Nikki Maloof’s paintings depict the world hidden within the mind. Imagined interiors, and animals become proxies for the human experience. Her subjects convey existential loneliness, but that loneliness is buoyed by humor, capricious paint handling, and the use of a saturated palette. A squiggle depicting ground meat, a cat’s meow being mistaken for a howl, or a comically disillusioned fish being filleted before our eyes, all draw the viewer’s attention to the melancholic and at times brutal tone of the imagery.  At the same time, the paint handling and colors attempt to undermine the dark nature of these images all together. This self-defeating melodrama points to an ambivalent view of existence, to a need to laugh and cry and even at once. Nikki Maloof, The Cherry Tree, 2022. Oil on linen, 64 x 48 inch.
