Marlena Podolšak

B. 1976, Germany. Lives and works in Stuttgart (DE).

Marlena Podolšak transforms, in her powerful, self-taught painting style, images of women from the past into the present with social criticism but also with a great deal of irony. Between technically sophisticated retro aesthetics and fine detail work, she creates images that are as unsettling as they are moving. Her images tell stories and question history.

Sebastián Jauregui

B. 1995, Colombia. Lives and works in Berlin (DE).

Sebastian Jauregui stages, through a crisp, design-informed practice, scenes where superstition clings to ordinary things. Between somber elegance and decadent detail, he works through still life, portraiture, and charged objects to trace how we negotiate uncertainty by reading signs, repeating rituals, and inventing rules for luck. His highly controlled process and structured compositions mirror the need for the order that superstition promises. They also invite the viewer to resist the feeling of being jinxed. The viewer is encouraged to treat luck as something shaped by choice, not fate.
