“The artists I selected for this exhibition are incredibly creative and talented: their intense, psychologically-charged works, besides being technically impeccable, are conceived to replace verbal communication with a visual language capable of transcending the limits of ordinary communication. The theme ‘aestheticism’ allowed the artists an opportunity to explore the beautiful.bizarre aesthetic, to consider what represents beauty across cultures, continents and mediums. To explore both the culturally accepted notions of beauty and those dark hidden places inside our hearts that are drawn to the evocative darkness, to the odd things, to the macabre, and to the sharp and visceral moments of our experience.” ~ Danijela KrhaExhibiting artists include: Aran (Japan), Bella Harris (USA), Caitlin McCormack (USA), Ciou (France), Craww (United Kingdom), Dihaze (Ukraine), Freaks Circus (Japan), Garth Knight (Australia), Haruna Hijikata (Japan), Jel Ena (USA), Julie Filipenko (Israel), Kristin Shiraef (USA), Leslie Ann O’Dell (USA), Mandy Tsung (Canada), Maria Menshikova (Russia), Midori Hayashi (Japan),Mimi Scholz (Germany), Mira Nedyalkova (Bulgaria), Miu Vermillion (USA), Naoto Hattori (Japan), Nina Y (Ireland), ONEQ (Japan), Sam Ectoplasm (Canada), Shin Taga (Japan), ShirrStone Shelter Dolls (Russia), Tom Bagshaw (United Kingdom), Tomomi Sakuba (Japan), Tsubaki Torii (Japan), Yukiko Hayashi (Japan), Zoe Lacchei (Italy).
