Artist Highlight - Sanya Kantarovsky
Lot 73. Man Child, 2026, Watercolour on Wood, 15 × 21 cm
@skantily practice places painting at its centre, exploring the complexities and contradictions of human experience. Through layered processes of addition and erasure, his work navigates the tensions between compassion and revulsion, humour and cruelty, desire and discomfort.
Drawing on art history, philosophy, and politics, Sanya creates scenes that remain unresolved, inviting viewers into a world of ambiguity and uneasy identification.
Born in Moscow in 1982, he lives and works in New York. His work has been exhibited at institutions including Kunsthalle Basel, Whitechapel Gallery, and Aspen Art Museum, and is held in collections including Tate and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Lot 55. There Is Always Hope II - Pencil, Colour Pencil, Ink and Paint, 15 x 21 cm, 2026

For Sound & Vision, Marcelle responded to the lyric from Paul McCartney’s Band on the Run, creating work shaped by the devastating impact of war and the importance of bearing witness. In this interview, she discusses art as a means of opening dialogue, her years spent travelling and why artists must lend their voices to those affected by conflict.

Sound & Vision Artist Highlight: Genieve Figgis
Lot 80. Wings, 2026, Acrylic, 15 × 21 cm
Known for her distinctive figurative paintings, @genievefiggis combines dark humour, vibrant colour and art historical references to create theatrical, often unsettling scenes.
Her paintings depict lavish interiors, grand country houses and elegant social gatherings, but beneath the surface lies something darker. Figures dissolve into expressive brushstrokes, becoming ghostly, distorted characters somewhere between beauty and the grotesque.
Drawing on Old Masters such as Francisco Goya, Figgis brings a contemporary, subversive perspective to themes of luxury, privilege and aristocratic life.

🎥 Sound & Vision Artist Interview - Sunkyung Baek
Lot 26. Rain at the Threshold, 2026, Oil on Wood Panel, 15 × 21 cm
@sunkyung.__ is a Korean painter based in London whose work explores instability in contemporary life through images of water, flooding, and familiar spaces. Working primarily with oil on canvas, she transforms domestic interiors, furniture, and cars through water, focusing on gradual infiltration and the traces left behind after it recedes. Through these scenes, she explores how spaces associated with safety and familiarity can become uncertain and uncanny.

Sound & Vision Artist Highlight - Christina Niederberger
Lot 45. The Rain Exploded with a Mighty Crash as We Fell into the Sun, Revealing a Rainbow, 2026, Oil on Board, 15 × 21 cm
Lot 46. The Rain Exploded with a Mighty Crash as We ROSE with the Sun, 2026, Oil on Board, 15 × 21 cm
Christina Niederberger is a contemporary painter who explores the languages of painting and textiles; how they evolved historically and culturally by traditional notions of the masculine and feminine. Working primarily with oils, her practice is slow, repetitive and meditative by its nature but also a choice to act as resistance against a fast-paced world.
Borrowing from the vocabulary of painting and textile, her paintings are both abstract and figurative, a representation of a fabric and the thing in itself. As they forge a hybrid language, they invite a dialogue with new perspectives on both.
