Populated by energetic characters and bold shapes, Charlotte Dumortierโs playful drawings bring a sense of humour and spontaneity to each project. Working across media, she often explores themes of food, nature, and the body. Her colourful illustrations have been commissioned by Apple,
The New Yorker, The New York Times, Suฬddeutsche Zeitung, and more. Dumortier likes to experiment with printmaking, risography, and has a love for collaborative projects.

The paintings, drawings, and sculptural works made by Chiara Lammens explore the porous boundary between the natural and imagined world. Her meticulously rendered scenes often depict landscapes in vivid colour combinations, evoking a parallel environment that feels both ancient
and strangely contemporary. She draws inspiration from comics, prehistoric imagery, and genre painting, weaving them into a personal and mythic visual language.

Active since the late 1990s, Erika Cotteleerโs practice spans books, educational projects, and a growing body of autonomous drawing and painting. Her recent work is noted for raw, confrontational images in which women unapologetically claim space. Cotteleer is focused on powerful mixed-media portraits of overlooked heroines, always with a direct mark-making energy and an eye for the untold.
