JASMINE ANSORI (b. 1997) Institute of Technology, Bandung (ITB), Fine Arts.
Jasmine Ansori is a multidisciplinary artist working across fine art, graphic design, and digital media. Her practice develops through research and exploration, and driven by an interest in experimenting across multiple media. Her work explores visuals that trigger emotion and evoke a sense of liminality.
Her current body of work marks a return to drawing through charcoal landscapes in which natural forms surface, recede and reappear. For this exhibition, the works are presented in a simplified, repeated format exposing expert gestures in the use of charcoal powder. Her drawings reveal a unique, personal depth while remaining relatable to a wide audience.
“I explore mark-making through an inverted process. Instead of adding lines to the surface, I erase existing marks and allow the emerging light to guide the drawings toward their final forms. Each act of erasure becomes an act of remembering: a search for where light emerges from darkness. The process retains a sense of secrecy between its beginning and end, holding the possibilities within the liminal landscapes of the mind.
Natural landscapes offer me another way of seeing: a space between the eye and the mind where feelings can remain after my physical presence has moved away. Through drawing, I consider the transformations occurring within a landscape and the discoveries made possible through sustained acts of looking.
Through this series, I invite viewers to experience mark-making as an exploration of memory and impermanence. By observing the details of a landscape, they may begin to form their own inner landscapes.”

JOSEPHINE KINGSLEY (b. 2000) Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore .
Josephine Kingsley is a self-taught artist whose practice has developed through independent exploration and experimentation. Working primarily in painting and mixed media, she explores the relationship between memory, materiality and place, as well as the emotional significance of everyday objects. Through texture, imperfection and the physical qualities of found materials, Kingsley considers how objects retain traces of personal and collective experience, and how identity and impermanence become embedded in material form.
“My practice is rooted in an intuitive negotiation between structure and softness. Working with oil pastel, acrylic, and metallic leaf, I build surfaces that hold tension rather than resolve it. Fragmentation is treated not as rupture but as a condition of intimacy, allowing multiple states to coexist without hierarchy. Repetition and subtle shifts in density become ways of listening to the material as it accumulates and resists control.
I am interested in how surfaces remember touch and how layers register time, hesitation, and decision. The work often begins with loose gestures and is slowly refined through acts of covering, erasing, and re-entering. Metallic leaf appears not as ornament but as an interruption: a reflective pause that catches light, alters how the viewer moves across the surface, and asks them to slow down and recalibrate their attention.”
The artist lives and works in Uluwatu, Bali.
