Blue Hands, Spirals, and Sky: Five Artists Rewriting the Rules of Seeing

A blue hand draped in velvet, a commuter’s daydream, and mythic Siberian landscapes—these are just a few of the unexpected visions shaping today’s art world. Yuma Radne channels her Buryat heritage into surreal scenes where color is both symbol and sensation, her blues echoing Mongolian proverbs beneath ochre skies. Masamitsu Shigeta transforms city bustle into luminous, nostalgic vignettes, distilling the poetry of daily life through reflections and light. Gene A’hern captures the wild pulse of nature, layering textures and gestures to bridge abstraction and figuration in windswept pastels. Serena Korda’s ceramics blend the ornate with the unsettling, using disembodied limbs and decadent fruits to challenge the domestic associations of her medium. Zana Masombuka draws on Ndebele ritual and folklore, her vibrant portraits turning the body into a living canvas for ancestral memory and contemporary identity. Together, these artists invite us to look again—where myth, city, and spirit collide, the ordinary dissolves into the extraordinary. #ContemporaryArt #CulturalHeritage #EmergingArtists #Culture
