Frieze New York

‘My art has always expressed the strong universal desire of humanity to experience the beauty of life and the marvellous mystery of the universe.’ — Yayoi Kusama

‘Banisadr shrouds the face or identity of his protagonist in secrecy, chronicling the fabled figure’s alchemical metamorphosis from the human to the divine.’ — Maximiliane Leuschner, The Brooklyn Rail

‘Berrío’s works are powerfully alluring, both in craft and sentiment: They ache with a desire for childhood to be kind and gentle, as childhood should be.’ — Murray Whyte, The Boston Globe 

‘By layering images, Hwami pierces moments of privacy with the invasiveness of the camera’s eye.’ — Daniel Culpan, Artforum

‘This scale of portraiture is usually reserved for costly swagger likenesses of the rich and noble. By devoting the looming size to a nervous portrait of her daughter setting off on her big night, Joffe turns the personal into the public and makes something universal out of an intimate moment.’ — Waldemar Januszczak, The Sunday Times

‘Julien is unafraid to be spectacular, lushly beautiful, even extravagant, but always with the sucker punch of his critical eye and political subject matter.’ — Ben Luke

‘I often think that water conjures up memory and loss in a way no other substance can.’ — Celia Paul
