Lara Faroqhi

The berlin-based artist (b.1968) explores space through form that may be geometrical or organic, logically or naturally re- duced. Using repetitions, accidents, and overlapping, structures are interwoven, disrupted and multi-layered.

Faroqhi has worked with ceramics, polyester resin, and glass, but she is best known for her more recent work focused on drawing – juxtaposing pencil, water colour, oil and silk screen printing. Faroqhi’s aim is to liberate the image from one fixed perspective. She reveals the working process in the work, even including possible mistakes. She strives to describe a multitude within a whole, be it in harmony or off balance.

Simon Allison

(b. 1955 Nelson, New Zealand) Having studied for a degree in Fine Art Sculpture at the University of Canterbury New Zealand, Simon then spent seven years working as a theatre set designer both in N.Z and Australia. His earlier works dealt with the subjects of landscape and the human condition within that landscape, often with a strong theatrical imagery.  

He works with a wide range of materials including stone, wood, bronze, glass and often works with various materials in combination. Working with a strong physical and direct material language Simon's sculpture often discusses the power and fragility of the physical and spiritual balance.
