'Cocky Hens' is the print of a drawing made in India. Last February and April, Hoogenhuyze traveled to South India to delve deeper into various textile techniques. In an old family house in Kerala, amidst cows, chickens, and monkeys, each day was dedicated to weaving, natural fabric dyeing, block printing, or batik techniques. In the early morning, when the workshops were still closed, Hoogenhuyze often sat by the open windows of the large house, gazing at the overwhelming jungle and the animals, which inspired a series of drawings. For this 'edition,' the artist found it important to incorporate the textile element, choosing to highlight certain parts of the print with embroidery. 'Cocky Hens' is a translation of the intense time spent with the vibrant and awe-inspiring nature the artist had the privilege to experience in Kerala.

Kaspar Dejong: Back and Forth
We visit Kaspar Dejong in the studio, where nothing stays put for long. We stopped by to watch him airbrush, scrape, and cover things he just made — and to ask why his new edition had to be on canvas, and when a work decides it’s done with him (or not).

First artist-first art fair

We have been dedicated to promoting emerging contemporary artists for over a decade, working with over 600 artists in more than 70 events. Our collaborations with these artists form the backbone of our platform, which aims to create connections, curate and promote the next generation of leading artists. By putting the artist first, we strive to create a fair art community where people can discover and buy art directly from the maker.
