Shevaun Cuatriz

Shevaun is a Filipino painter recently graduated from Fine Art: Painting at UAL Camberwell. Her work follows two narratives; the observed world and herself, the observer. Having grown up in the North of Ireland as an immigrant, her practice is a vessel to seek out a sense of belonging in every place and anyone who passes through. 

 

Her paintings of her “observed” life often depict familiar city scenery and dreamlike nocturne memories. These hazy recollections are portrayed through oils layered in thin glazes, curious to the fleeting workings of light and its relationship to the unstable human temperament. Light often acts as a friend in this instability, its touch serving as a grounding and comforting presence. 

 

Conversely, Shevaun takes a more introspective and figurative approach to her paintings based in the analysis of self. This constant need for understanding and belonging eventually permeates internally, longing for a sense of connection in one’s own body.

Nicole Di

Nicole is a British Chinese artist working across painting, printmaking and drawing. Her work considers nature's behaviour rather than its appearance. The Daoist notion of Change within Chinese philosophy alongside concepts of turbulence, and multi-dimensional space within modern physics, drives her interest in the points where nature's systems and rules begin to break down into speculation. Moments of unintentional coordination calibrate and recalibrate. Processes of erasure, folding, pouring, peeling and working on both sides of the surface, are used to open up the work to contingency, which for her, is a tool for a different kind of noticing.

 

She graduated in 2025 from Goldsmiths where she was awarded The Cass Art Materials Award and V22 Studio Scholarship. She recently had her first solo exhibition ‘Traces in Mist’ 2025 in Chongqing, China, after completing a two month residency at Organhaus and was shortlisted for the 2024 Cass Art Prize. Recent selected group exhibitions include ‘Memento Amoris’, Lido Stores, Margate 2026; ‘The Cass Art prize’, Copeland Gallery, London 2025 and 2024; ‘Summer Day’, Sillian Gallery, London 2025; ‘In Days of Heatwave II: Among the Hydrocommons’, Safe House Gallery, London 2024; ‘Revelation’, Harts Lane Gallery, London 2024; ‘Goldsmiths vs HFBK who will win?’, HFBK, Hamburg 2024.

Issy Heath

 

A 2025 graduate from UAL Camberwell, Issy is a multimedia artist working at the intersection of photography and oil painting. Her practice is narrative-driven and rooted in a personal perspective, exploring themes inspired by the bright, nostalgic colours of a 2000s childhood alongside a heightened focus on the domestic space. Artists such as Hilma af Klint, Gillian Carnegie, and Taewon Ahn influence my way of thinking; as a result, my work often adopts a surrealistic and subtly uncanny finish.

 

Her current work explores mindfulness across the past, present, and future, focusing on the small, immediate sources of joy, hope, and purpose in her life. These include what has brought her joy, what brings her joy now, and what may do so in the future, such as the coming of spring, self-expression, and her cats.

Nohana Sayama

Nohana Sayama (b.2003, Osaka) is a Japanese artist based in London, a recent graduate of Camberwell College of Arts, Fine Art: Painting. During her time at Camberwell, she developed her practice in watercolour. Raised in Singapore, India and Japan, she paints to journal her past, to record her existence, to have nameless characters observe her in silence. With the unconventional use of Gansai watercolour, she attempts to express her incomplete social-cultural identity. 

 

She recently won the Alexander Graham Munro Travel Award and the W Gordon Smith & Mrs Jay Gordon Smith Award at the RSW 145th Annual Exhibition 2026, as well as the Watercolour award at the CASS Art Prize 2025.

Gigi Tsim

Gigi is a Hongkonger artist based in London and a recent graduate of Camberwell College of Arts (BA Fine Art: Painting). Her practice explores migration and suppression through painted Hong Kong cityscapes shaped by personal and collective memory.

After exhausting her personal photo archive, she now uses Google Maps to revisit multiple temporal layers of the same streets, navigating the tension between documentation and imagination. Incomplete, fragmented scenes heighten the viewer’s ability to find familiarity within her cityscapes. Using landscape as a vessel for migratory grief, her low-saturated works hold what remains unsaid.

 

As her White Paintings series evolves, she introduces toned grounds as non-whites, departing from the literal use of white to convey blankness and decay while investigating traditional East Asian materials in relation to displacement, including Xuan paper, traditional pigments, bamboo scrolls, and red-white-blue fabric. Her recent work creates liminal spaces that situate viewers between estrangement and imagined comfort, seeking fragile balances between displacement, oppression, and belonging.

 

She has exhibited in London, including the Recent Graduates Showcase at Affordable Art Fair Battersea 2025, and multiple group exhibitions, such as Living Between Spaces, Memory and Belonging (Supermoon Gallery), and Archives in Absence. She is currently undertaking ongoing research supported by Cedric Morris Travel Awards (Ist Prize), focusing on the Korean Dansaekhwa movement and post–political turmoil cultural development. Her practice is painting-led and grounded in sustained studio-based work.

Tianxi Wang

Tianxi is a freelance artist based in London. After completing her degree in Illustration, she decided to expand her art practice into a wider field, including creating painting, illustration, and mix media works. Her work delves into the intricate interplay of personal emotions and the complex relationships between family, society, and the surrounding environment. Exploring themes of identity, memory, and connection, Tianxi creates paintings that reflect deeply personal yet universally resonant experiences.

Her practice grows from the fertile soil of familial memory, tracing invisible currents of tension and emotional residue within intimate bonds. Rather than direct narration, she weaves veiled dialogues between oil paint’s tactile density, the whispered conflicts of warm and cool tones, and archetypal domestic motifs. These elements coalesce into liminal spaces—part physical, part spectral—where concrete details dissolve into surreal atmospheres.

 

Tianxi’s process of painting is deeply meditative, serving as a way to externalize inner thoughts and feelings into visual narratives. These narratives strike a balance between the surreal and the tangible, offering a reflective space for viewers. By weaving lived experiences with cultural and environmental influences, Tianxi creates art that inspires a deeper exploration of the connections between individuals, their surroundings, and the emotions that lie beneath the surface.

Yin Wang

Yin Wang is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, and printmaking, with a background in fashion design. Her practice moves between figuration and abstraction, informed by her experience of living between cultures. Born in Nanjing, China, and having lived in Shanghai and Hong Kong, she graduated in Fine Art from The Art Academy. Her work offers poetic reflections on identity, familial bonds, and belonging.

 

Drawing on traditional Chinese visual and spatial languages, including ink practices, calligraphy, and material sensitivity, Yin approaches these references not as fixed symbols but as evolving structures that frame the construction, fragmentation, and reinterpretation of memory and identity. Materiality and colour play a key role: by combining rice paper, ink, painterly gestures, and layered constructions with culturally influenced colourways, she investigates how they can hold traces of time, accumulation, and erasure.

 

Currently, Yin is developing work inspired by Chinese garden architecture, emphasizing framed views, sequential movement, and layered spatial planes. Gates and windows function as thresholds, disrupting linear perspective and inviting an indirect, unfolding way of seeing. In these contemplative spaces, viewers encounter memory as non-linear, navigating shifting relationships between past and present, proximity and distance, and recognition and estrangement.

Our Artists - October 2025 Show

Maria Clemente

 

A 2025 graduate of Chelsea College of Arts, UAL, Maria creates oil paintings using personal archives and family photographs to explore themes of reconstructed memory, nostalgia, and home. Through the careful collaging of figures, spaces, and objects, she question perceptions of reality and belonging.


Influenced by Latin American muralism and vibrant color palettes, her work captures the nuances of her hazy and inherited memories of Venezuela, while symbolising the constant presence of Hispanic influences in both her paintings and personal life. She
invites viewers into a visual narrative that transcends spatial boundaries and serves as an act of remembrance, honouring personal and collective memory, and preserving spaces that no longer exist.

Emily Edgar

 

Emily graduated from Central St Martins, UAL in 2025. Her practice is driven by a need to confront, archive, and explore systems—familial, architectural, digital, and political—that shape how we inhabit the world and ourselves. Drawing from her personal experience, Ukrainian heritage, and the psychological weight of both physical and virtual environments, she explore the entanglement of memory, identity, and power.
 
Much of her work begins with small fragments. These fragments, such as derelict wallpapers of homes, bruised skin, digital messages or mens corporate fashion, each act as entry points into broader narratives: intergenerational trauma, cultural erasure, digital violation, and gendered power structures. Continuously the artist is asking: What do we choose to look away from? What are we taught to dismiss as ugly, broken, or insignificant—and what systems or façades shape our perception?

Megan Gant

Megan is an Art and Design graduate of Cornwall College and her pieces draw inspiration from the overlooked corners of her native Cornwall, the abandoned buildings and mine-workings, where paint peels, and cracks form in the plaster, revealing long forgotten memories,. She creates her vessels through a build-up of expressive marks using slips, underglaze, and glazes. These layers capture the essence of these dilapidated spaces and immortalise their fragility. 

 

Amongst other places, Megan’s work has been exhibited at the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro, the Falmouth Gallery and the Penwith Gallery in St Ives,

Elin Jones

Elin is a Welsh artist with Finnish heritage and a recent graduate Fine Art Painting from Camberwell, UAL.

 

Her paintings express themes of childhood, memory and light often inspired by archived photographs of loved ones, capturing family generations and personal connections. These photographs inform her small-scale paintings embodying precious and sentimental moments, allowing her to reflect and recall these snippets in time. They show close relationships, friends and family, with images marked beyond the lens committing these memories to a painted form. She uses oil paint, varying between works on paper and works on board, using loose brushstrokes to depict a sense of a blurred memory, providing the viewer with comfort but also keeping an ambiguity as to where and who these figures are.

 

Many of her pieces are influenced by her Finnish relations, and many summers spent in Finland with her family. They move between figures in landscapes and interior spaces but unify in a focus on light and colour, reflecting her personal experiences and how she identifies with both her Welsh and Finnish roots.

Nohana Sayama

 
Nohana is a Japanese watercolour painter, graduating from Camberwell, UAL with a BA in Painting in July 2025.
 
Like human memory, spaces can 'forget.' After time away, they feel different, reflecting a world where individuals often feel insignificant. Nohana’s theme, titled 'vignette', embodies a longing for belonging and remembrance shaped by her experience of growing up in an expatriate family.
 
For Nohana, each place she lived became an antechamber filled with bittersweet memories. Her art serves as a record of her existence—snapshots of places she had to leave behind. She portrays companions as silent observers, inspired by Jizo and Dosojin statues that were traditionally created to protect travellers and their neighbours. Using Gansai watercolours connects her to her Japanese heritage while revealing her fluid, multicultural identity through its non-traditional application. The layers and dramatic lighting represent the fogginess of memory and emotional uncertainty.
