Gonkar Gyatso is known for his colourful collages of found stickers, logos and images that irreverently merge popular culture's iconography with symbols of Buddhist spiritualism. Working across collage, photography, painting and installation, his work charts the ways identities shift in relation to globalisation and migration.

Jaedon Shin was born in Korea and migrated to Australia. He graduated Fine Art at RMIT University in 2011 and is currently Melbourne-based. “Through his practice Jaedon contemplates inter and trans cultural experiences - interrogating his dual identity as a Korean and Australian subject and the enduring impression of his upbringing in Korea - a divided nation, where each side of the country lives in apprehension, fear and longing for the other – combined with the experience of being a migrant in Australia. Jaedon explores narratives that are often highly personal and critical in nature and that reveal a desire for human connection, identity and belonging.” (from ‘Double Moon’ exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art in 2022)

Born in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, China in 1959, artist Zou Yinong began learning ink painting, calligraphy and folk art in 1976. As a part of a new wave of practitioners at that time who embraced China’s traditional modes of expression, Zou Yinong has also adopted European abstraction as a key aspect of his practice. He is a regular exhibitor in Germany, China and Australia; his solo exhibition ‘Zou Yinong: Bushfire / Recovery’ was held at ACAE Gallery in 2023.
