Louise Bourgeois’ Untitled (1998) is a visceral drawing rendered in red ink, depicting a string of disembodied feet-like forms hanging on a line. The image evokes themes of bodily fragmentation, trauma, and domestic ritual—motifs central to Bourgeois’ lifelong exploration of memory and the subconscious. This work exemplifies her late-period return to drawing as a form of psychological excavation, using simple materials to express complex emotional states. Its raw immediacy and symbolic resonance are typical of Bourgeois’ oeuvre, which often oscillates between vulnerability and violence, particularly in her representations of the body and the feminine experience.

"Drawing Party" (2020) by Rebecca Ness is a richly detailed oil painting depicting a lively, intimate scene of collaborative creativity. Set around a wooden table cluttered with sketches, pencils, and notes, several hands engage in drawing, gesturing, or resting—suggesting a communal art session. At the center, a phone displays a woman’s focused face, possibly attending virtually, blending digital presence with physical space. Ness’s signature style—hyper-detailed, pattern-rich, and deeply personal—captures the textures of everyday life while highlighting themes of connection, creativity, and observation.

Jordy Kerwick’s Mid Season (2021) is a bold, large-scale painting that immerses viewers in a fantastical and confrontational world. Known for blending folk motifs with pop-cultural references, Kerwick presents a visceral tableau of hybrid beasts and symbolic flora rendered in thick, expressive strokes and vivid hues. The work reflects themes of primal instinct, mythology, and domestic chaos - a continuation of his signature aesthetic. True to his oeuvre, Mid Season exemplifies Kerwick’s raw, unfiltered approach and his penchant for surreal compositions that straddle the line between the familiar and the arcane.

This is a compelling piece born from the collaboration between pioneering graffiti artist Futura (formerly Futura 2000) and the iconic American clothing brand Brooks Brothers. Characterised by Futura’s signature abstract forms, swirling lines, and cosmic motifs, the artwork injects a sense of urban dynamism into the traditionally conservative aesthetic of the fashion house. Themes of tradition meeting rebellion and heritage clashing with futurism come to the fore. While this partnership marks a stylistic shift in context, the artwork remains true to Futura’s oeuvre by bridging street culture with mainstream platforms through his distinctive visual language.

Futura's Untitled (2011) is a vivid example of the artist’s mature abstract style, showcasing his signature use of gestural brushwork, atmospheric layers, and spontaneous energy. The composition is likely infused with his hallmark motifs such as orb -like shapes, molecular structures, and dynamic sprays, all evoking themes of space, movement, and the unseen forces that shape our world. Created during a period of increasing institutional recognition, this work continues Futura’s departure from traditional graffiti into fine art. Though untitled, the piece resonates with his enduring interest in abstraction and motion, remaining firmly rooted in his groundbreaking visual lexicon.

Wes Lang’s Be Yourself (2010) is a brooding yet compelling work that features a stark, off-white skull rendered against a heavily textured, almost tar-like black background. The raw, gestural brushwork and minimal palette lend the painting an expressive power, tapping into motifs of mortality, individuality, and existential contemplation. Skulls are a recurring symbol in Lang’s oeuvre, often paired with Americana and pop culture references; however, this work stands out for its stripped-down intensity and introspective focus. It reflects Lang’s deep engagement with vanitas themes, while deviating slightly from his more collage-like, symbol-laden compositions.
