THIERRY CARRIER
Thierry Carrier has built a deeply introspective body of work, defined by silence and an emotional tension that is difficult to fully name.

Interview with Lisa Rickard
Lisa Rickard’s artistic practice is rooted in Imaginative Realism, a language in which the human figure becomes a symbolic vessel for expressing invisible realities. Her paintings often begin with abstract ideas developed through graphite drawing, before evolving into luminous compositions where light appears to move, breathe, and dance across the human form. Born in Philadelphia, Rickard discovered her fascination with the allegorical figure during her teenage years, when she began drawing regularly from a live nude model who was also a ballet dancer. This early experience shaped her sensitivity to movement, gesture, and the expressive potential of the body.
