Artist Spotlight

Akira Ikezoe

Akira Ikezoe (b. 1979) is a New York-based artist born in Kochi, Japan. Ikezoe creates works in diverse disciplines, including drawing, painting, video and performance, in relation to the balance between the forces we think of as outside or before ourselves, and the “civilizing” of ourselves. In Ikezoe’s works, the human figure is presented as his alter ego and woven into a metaphysical and mythological context that depicts a timeless melting point between human and natural boundaries.

Gabrielle Manglou

Gabrielle Manglou, born in La Réunion and based in Brittany, France studied at the Beaux-Arts of Montpellier and Marseille. Her multidisciplinary work, often drawing on archival images, explores Creole identity, syncretism, and colonial heritage. Resisting categorization, she brings together gestures, objects, and memories to convey the complexity of the world through sensory experience. Her artist residencies in India, Africa, and Europe have enriched her practice. Her works are included in the collections of the FRAC Réunion, the Musée Léon Dierx, and several art libraries in France. A recipient of the CNAP’s Emanata commission, she also won the AWARE Nouveau Regard 2025 prize.

Khen Shish

Khen Shish is a Tel Aviv-based artist working across painting and mixed-media practices. Her early works took the form of total environments that combine painting, drawing, collage, video, and found objects, often incorporating everyday materials such as masking tape, gold wrappers, stickers, and Xerox prints. Her painting is expressive and layered, with a baroque and romantic sensibility that moves between gestural application and delicate drawing while retaining a strong autobiographical dimension.
