Matteo Massagrande

A classical heritage and deep knowledge of Renaissance masters informs Matteo Massagrande's practice. He has a profound understanding of perspective. These paintings are not directly-observed recordings of actual spaces, but composites, deliberately assembled from particular references. He manipulates the rules of perspective to introduce subtle distortions and exaggerations that heighten the psychological impact of these scenes.

Dopo la colazione

Born in Padua, Italy, Matteo Massagrande is a painter steeped in the history and tradition of figurative representation. He divides his time between Padua and Hajos, Hungary, and the influences of both locations are fundamental to the content and spirit of his practice. Massagrande depicts unoccupied, decayed, possibly abandoned, domestic interiors to evoke light, place and time.

Henry Jabbour

Born in Beirut and educated at the New York Academy of Art, Henry Jabbour paints the human figure. His paintings display a vivid use of colour and exuberant execution. His loosely-indicated, schematic images are integrated into a highly worked and abstracted paint surface, scattered with incidental markings and subtle gestures.
