Emma Lisa hopes to bring joy and happiness to peoples lives with her work taking you to higher levels of & consciousness through expressing her inner sense of freedom. She uses fabric as her main tool to express herself using natural dyes, organic fabrics and embroidery. The 2 shirts represent night and day a seemingly obvious everyday occurance which she feels is often overlooked. An inherent natural law of nature which represents the importance of duality. There is no light without darkness Both are different and opposing forces. One would not exist without the other.

Hisham Echafaki is a self-taught painter and sculptor with a fascination for nature and the animal world. Working in oil, acrylic resin or clay, his work focuses on surrealist art with animals, in particular endangered species and examines the impact that humankind exerts on the environment’s fragile balance. The portrait series is inspired by the famous Italian fifties designs of Piero Fornasetti. The mostly monochrome dot style compositions are here uniquely reinterpreted as original circular paintings whilst celebrating the surrealist theme and poetic imagery that made these designs iconic.

Philippe Malaussène When Philippe was small, if someone asked him what he wanted to do in life, his first answer was 'dessinateur' (drawing artist in french). Today the only drawings Philippe produce are made of polylines with AutoCAD. He still manages to find some opportunities to paint or sketch at times to times. His paintings exhibited at 'Hua de Hua Hua' are part of his biannual works. Philippe does not regularly paint, but for some unexplained reasons, always produces two new paintings each year. He regularly sketches on public transports, sketches which you will also be able to find at the exhibition. Philippe is also a passionate garden designer, and an eccentric plant collector . He designed the garden where the exhibition takes place, and dreams to push it further next year.

Xinan Yang ’s work deconstructs photographs through painting, integrating evocative narratives that revolve around self-reflection. As a memory chain, the paintings become an intimate and personally curated mnemonic archive, raising concerns about a miraculous memory space that is rooted in reality, as a means of positioning and understanding the represented self in a globalised world. Living outside her own culture has increased her awareness of the different types of dislocation. The concept of a perfect location is everchanging, and globalisation and the virtual realm have increased fluidity and uncertainty in identity and location. Dislocation is an inherent aspect of our lives and can be cultural, class-based, or emotional, and spatial dislocation. Creating paintings serves as a means to locate herself and integrate the disparate parts of her identity and experiences. The artwork has become part of the discourse of personal and cultural displacement, addressing the inherent uncertainty that is present in human existence.

Transported to the desert's rugged landscapes, Youmna invites viewers to discover the allure of the Earth's forces shaping landscapes, making her upcoming exhibition in Deptford an exciting opportunity.
