Gerry Debanzie
This artist statement video offers an intimate look at painter Gerry de Banzie, whose work reflects on memory, identity, and everyday life. Blending visuals of his process with personal reflections, it captures the ideas and intent behind his practice.
Created in collaboration with Crème Fraîche, the film helps connect Gerry with potential collectors and collaborators—offering a direct, human perspective on his art.
Poppy Mannion
Poppy Mannion creates art that explores femininity through the medium of embroidery. Her practice transforms thread, a material historically bound to gendered creative expression, into a distinctive visual language that probes the complexities of feminine identity.
In this film we focus aesthetics constructed to support the artists idea of embracing delicacy which contrasts with the destructive nature of her final works.
John Sant
A sense of the sublime is a constant theme in the painting and writing of John Sant (b. 1993, Los Angeles), whose recent body of work was influenced by a four month trek along the Appalachian Trail.
Sant’s abstract paintings centre particularly the romanticism of the sublime, using composition and palette to build portals the viewer can almost feel.
