ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
JULES CUNDARI
Jules Cundari is an artist and regenerative farmer based in Victoria, BC, Canada. Her practice investigates curiosities of ethnobotany, plant identification and ecological restoration, focusing on how art can deepen an understanding of human and non-human relations. Site-specific research influences the materiality of her work, often pulling from place-based memory, creating abstracted landscapes through paint, graphite, synthetic and organic materials and poetry.
Jules is a member of MULCH (@mulchcollective), an arts collective composed of friends across so called Canada. MULCH seeks to explore art through collaborative and land based practices, allowing for fragmented ideas to be a part of a continuous cycle of decay and rebirth.
ANIZA-IMÁN ÍÑIGUEZ
Aniza-Imán Íñiguez, a California-raised artist based in New York City, merges painting, production design and photography in her interdisciplinary practice. Her works use ecology as a backdrop to explore the collapse of traditional portraiture, landscape and still-life across media. Íñiguez challenges the limitations of visual representation, particularly in capturing natural phenomena and environmental tragedy. She graduated from The Cooper Union School of Art in 2017.
SOPHIE DOYLE
Sophie Doyle is a fine artist residing in London, whose art serves as a powerful ode to the feminine form, while placing a firm emphasis on body and skin positivity. Having coped with psoriasis for more than a decade, Sophie's journey of creating art and posing nude has remarkably transformed her perception of the human body.
Primarily utilizing oils and acrylic, Sophie's artistic exploration delves into the realms of shapes and textures found within the skin. Whilst creating original artwork and prints, Sophie also offers commissions for more unique and personalised work. Her captivating use of vibrant hues and texturized brushwork effectively captures moments of passion, pain, and internal struggle. She has recently started exploring nature, specifically flowers; celebrating their diverse and unique forms.
Ultimately, Sophie's art strays away from mere aesthetics and aims to empower and inspire women, encouraging them to embrace their bodies with comfort. With each brush stroke, she endeavors to ignite a sense of confidence within her audience, igniting a spark that radiates self-acceptance and strength.
