Artist in residence: Farnaz GholamiFarnaz Gholami is an Iranian visual artist whose painting practice explores place as a shifting and unstable condition shaped by memory, identity, and diasporic experience. Born in Dublin and raised in Tehran, she draws on experiences of displacement to create fragmented landscapes where psychological and material ruptures intersect with the natural world. Through fluid brushwork, playful forms, and heightened colour, her works invite viewers into contemplative spaces where fragility, freedom, and ideas of belonging unfold.@farnaz.gholamiFollow the evolution of her practice throughout the residency via the link in bio.

Artist in residence: Jingshan DingJingshan Ding is a London-based artist whose painting practice explores the iteration, resilience, and transformation of life through process-based abstraction. With a background in Biology and Fine Art, she approaches painting as a living process shaped through cycles of layering, scraping, and reapplying paint. Her works develop textured surfaces that evoke organic traces, inviting viewers into contemplative spaces where transformation, fragility, and renewal unfold through sustained attention.@shanshanshan_333_333Follow the evolution of her practice throughout the residency via the link in bio.

Artist in residence: Ana BenavidesAna Benavides is a Mexican painter based in London. Her practice explores emotional depth, vulnerability, and the complexities of human experience through an expressive and intuitive approach to painting. Through gesture, layering, and colour, she translates internal and often unspoken emotional states into compositions that move between tension and intimacy. Her paintings invite viewers into sensorial spaces where fragility, introspection, and emotional resonance emerge beyond narrative.@anabenavidesartFollow the evolution of her practice throughout the residency via the link in bio.

Final residency exhibition: Ways of PerceivingHaoua Habré reflects on the body and its relationship with the world of shadows, a projected realm that does not physically exist, yet whose presence cannot be ignored or denied.For Santos, the body is perceived as a territory of time. Instead of being measured, time is embodied within oneself; it is felt, held, and eventually released.Campbell uses embroidery to draw in temporal space. Her figurative works look inwards at the making process, highlighting the gestures, rhythm and numbness of the hand, and the dissolution of time during episodes of productive creativity.Becca Ellis’ paintings of ‘vessels’ seek to capture suspended states between presence and absence.Curated by Nigel Ip @nigelip_Exhibition views: Ways of Perceiving, Apsara Studio, 28 April - 02 May 2026The exhibition runs through 25 May 2026 on our website.Link in bio

Final residency exhibition: Ways of PerceivingIn this exhibition, perception is understood as a multifaceted experience, one that can trigger questions and inquiry, or protect us from the harsh truths of human existence. In doing so, we are all invited to embark on an introspective journey through sites of memory, cultural phenomena, and relational aesthetics.Curated by Nigel Ip @nigelip_Exhibition views: Ways of Perceiving, Apsara Studio, 28 April - 02 May 2026The exhibition runs through 25 May 2026 on our website.Link in bio

An insight into what Lícia Santos has been developing during the Hands-on Residency.Lícia Santos (@licia_santos)’s residency project marks a return to her studio practice, re-engaging with a material language first explored at the Slade. Through watercolours, drawings, and mixed-media paintings, the works consider the body as a territory of time and explore its interaction with desert elements such as sand and earth pigments. Moving between figuration and abstraction, they trace the dissolving boundary between body and landscape, where matter holds time and becomes a way for the body to understand itself.Her work will be part of Ways of Perceiving, the final residency exhibition, taking place at Apsara Studio from 28 April to 2 May 2026.

Working across sculpture and installation, she creates forms that resist stability, where materials seem to breathe, bend, and negotiate their own logic.

A glimpse into what Becca Ellis has been developing during the Hands-on Residency.Becca Ellis (@bekaellis)’ residency project explores perception and phenomena through oil paint, considering how images emerge under shifting and unstable conditions of seeing. Working with distilled subject matter, her practice approaches painting as an encounter that is both intentional and intuitive, where forms appear as recognisable yet unresolved presences. Through the development of specific variables within her painting process, she presents a new body of work composed of envisioned forms related to the idea of the “vessel”, articulating presence as something incomplete, suspended, and continuously in formation.Her work will be part of Ways of Perceiving, the final residency exhibition, taking place at Apsara Studio from 28 April to 2 May 2026.

A glimpse into what Haoua Habré has been developing during the Hands-on Residency.Haoua Habre (@indigo.hbr)’s residency project explores the idea of a double skin - an intimate and a social one - that we inhabit or are assigned, creating an unstable in-between space where the body is neither fully itself nor what it appears to be. Centered on this liminal condition, the work focuses on the shadow as a form of slippage between presence and disappearance, unfolding through translucent, shifting forms that overlap in space and change with the viewer’s position, so the body appears only in traces, fragmented and in continuous transformation.Her work will be part of Ways of Perceiving, the final residency exhibition, taking place at Apsara Studio from 28 April to 2 May 2026.
