    Jo Hummel is a contemporary British painter who lives and works on the Isle of Wight. She trained at the Royal College of Art and has established an international exhibition profile across the UK, Europe, the United States and South Africa. Her work is rooted in reductionism, using symbols and sacred geometry and engages with ancient spiritual concepts such as Sunya, the Sanskrit term for void and infinity, concerning the balance between emptiness and possibility. Colour assumes a pivotal role in Jo’s work, valued both for its subjective sensory impact and its psychologically transcendent qualities. Jo works with paper, collaging to create paintings through a careful balance of shape, colour, form, and material. Jo has had several solo shows including Stars Wrapped in Skin at Victor Lope Contemporaneo, Barcelona (2025), Looking Out, Barnard Gallery, Cape Town, South Africa 2023, Somewhere Here, But Far Away, 45 Park Lane, London, 2023 and two person shows at Gruin Gallery, Los Angeles and Fold Gallery, London. Her work has been shown in major group exhibitions including Flowers Gallery, London, Interface at Lille Grand Palais, Art Karlsruhe, Germany, the London Art Fair and the 53rd Venice Biennale. Her paintings are held in various collections including Christian Dior, Clintons, London, the Kilburn Foundation (Cape Town), LinkedIn London Headquarters, and The Shelborne Hotel, Miami Beach. Jo has received several grants from Arts Council England, including a DYCP Award in 2024. She is represented by The Tagli (London), Macadam Gallery (Brussels), Víctor Lope Contemporaneo (Barcelona), and Amelie du Chalard (Paris/New York). In Spring 2026 Jo will be Artist in Residence at Thread, Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, Senegal and in May 2026 she has a solo exhibition at Benjamin Eck Gallery, Munich.

    Ruth Calland is a contemporary British painter, and also a Jungian analyst, ilving and working in London. Emergence and attunement to what is emergent, are the experiences that engage her. She has a deep interest in alchemy, which provides a framework for how she thinks about painting as process. She will often utilise two different points of reference and see them as creating an interactive field, within which she operates in order to investigate their relationship. She has a longstanding interest in gender, and her exploration of gender fluidity in her participative performance project Carnival of Souls took place across the E17 Arts Festival and the Folkestone Triennial in 2013. She presented this work at the conference ‘Alchemy: Exploring Metaphorical Transformations and Arts-Based Research’ at Oxford University in 2023. In the pandemic she was inspired by the early vampire film Nosferatu, with its monochrome landscapes, haunted by anxiety about infection by the supernatural other. At this time she also began researching trans experiences of being feared and othered, discussed by creators on TikTok. Her current work uses stills from these videos to amplify and celebrate trans voices, using high key colour to celebrate their cultural emergence from the shadows, and a redefinition of what it means to be natural, or true to nature. Ruth is a member of Contemporary British Painting and has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Transition Gallery, Flowers East, Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery, Vestry House Museum, Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, and the Dulwich Festival. She has curated shows for APT, Walthamstow Wetlands, and Salthouse Gallery. She was included in the Made In Britain, 80 Painters of the 21st Century, at Yantai Museum, Nanjing and Tianjin in China, and Gdansk, Poland in 2019; she was selected for the New Contemporaries at the ICA and Bluecoat Galleries, was a prize-winner at Southwark Gallery Open, Painting Fellow at Gloucester Art College, a Rome Scholar runner up, Boise Travelling Scholarship winner, and included twice in the Marmite Prize for Painting. In 2022 she was artist in residence atPasture Project Space, Sudbury andrecently a finalist at the Artworks Open 2023, (Barbican Arts Trust). She lectures and writes on creative processes within Jungian psychoanalysis and in 2018 won the Fordham Prize for her paper ‘Race, Power and Intimacy’. website: www.ruthcalland.com https://www.ruthphilo.co.uk/a-geography-of-colour.html
