Sebastián Espejo (b. 1990, Chile) lives and works in London. He studied at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (BA, 2014) and completed the Turps Off Site Programme (2024–25). Espejo’s practice approaches painting as a form of phenomenological enquiry by using still-life motifs - vases, fruit, cuttings in jars - and intermittent landscape glimpses to examine how items and environments come into being through light, surface, and objecthood. Across these two registers, he constructs pictorial situations in which intimacy is produced through repetition, restraint, and calibrated shifts in tone. More Info
Rachel Clancy Manchester, United Kingdom, 2000
Rachel Clancy (b. 2000, Manchester) paints staged domestic scenes that test “the boundaries of perception.” Working in oil with meticulous layering, Clancy constructs film-still compositions - flash-frozen, mid-gesture - where viewpoint is destabilised and narrative remains suggestive rather than fixed. Upholstered fabrics, household objects, and fragments of limbs sit under slanted light and reflective surfaces, producing a muted but insistent psychological tension. More Info
