Domenico Ludovico – Arte Globale
Award-winning artist, Domenico Ludovico, born in 1983, lives and works among the quarries favoured by Michelangelo, in Garfagnana, Tuscany Italy.

Phil earned his MFA in sculpture from Florida State University in 2008 and a BFA from the University of Minnesota in 2003. He is the Studio Manager at the FSU Master Craftsman Studio where he creates large and small scale public works. FSU MCS is an educational Atelier where Phil is a project manager for many architectural, commercial, private and public commissions. He has worked as an effects coordinator for theaters and haunted houses, using props, gimmicks, lighting and black arts as theater magic.
His sculpture is focused on illusion using mediums such as lights and mirrors, Infinity boxes, flat/forced perspectives, levitations through magnets and balance, and rendering visual reality a farce. Gleason works as a sculptural magician creating an illusory effect to leave in the gallery for his audience to discover. He invites the viewer to ask, “How is this done?” His art gives one pause to consider; What is reality? Reality is a frame of mind that Gleason’s sculptures aim to unhinge if only for a moment, until the audience becomes wise, and the trick becomes lucid.

Amy Jackson – SHIM
Jacqueline Amy Jackson is known for her darkly humorous works, which tread lightly and consciously on the planet despite their sharply critical social and environmental undertones. Jackson is commonly considered a conceptual artist traversing a myriad of mediums to explore tragedies of the human condition in the hypercapitalist era. She reveals unseen truths and camouflages hidden messages into her minimalist and meticulous acts and objects. Her most notable work Cleaning Squares, referencing mental health and the state of the environment, has seen thousands of ephemeral squares appear around the world since 2005. Other works engage with topics such as climate change, consumerism and social inequality, often imagining and bringing to life future dystopias. “All art is political and most artists want to change something in the world… to spur action,” Jackson once commented, a statement that reflects her vision of using art as a tool to inspire change.

Aqua Spotlight – Paris Brosnan
“My work is an exploration of the human experience through the lens of non-representational expressionism. I use vivid color and mixed media techniques to create dynamic art that challenges the viewer to engage with the work on a visceral level.
I strive to create a sense of movement and energy in my compositions. My goal is also to evoke a sense of emotion and provoke thought in the viewer, encouraging them to look beyond the surface of the work and to find their own personal meaning within it. My paintings are an exploration of the human condition through a childlike lens. Using non-representational expressionism, I depict characters that evoke a sense of innocence and wonder. The simplicity and emotion in my work is a reminder of the purity of the human experience and the beauty of life's simple moments. My goal is to create a sense of connection and familiarity for the viewer, encouraging them to see the world through a kaleidoscopic perspective.”
Native to Los Angeles, Paris began painting as a child.During the pandemic painting became a therapeutic release. In 2021 Paris started sharing his artwork publicly garnering the attention of gallerists, collectors, and respected artists. In December of 2021 Paris exhibited his paintings at Art Basel Miami. Paris paints with a free-flowing style which draws from neo expressionism. He makes use of vibrant pastel colors and gravitates towards mixed media, spray paint, markers, and resin. Paris would categorize his work as “un-foundational” as he believes there are no rules to making a painting.
