Raised among artists, Hong Chun Zhang received her B.F.A. from the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing before moving to the United States in 1996 to pursue an M.A. from California State University, Sacramento in 2002 and an M.F.A. from the University of California, Davis in 2004. Hong currently lives in Lawrence, Kansas and has been represented by Haw Contemporary Gallery in the Kansas region since 2015.

For over twenty years, Hong’s studio practice has evolved from explorations of self to broader themes of gender, cross-culture, environment and more recently the social justice. Hong combines traditional skills with new concepts and draws from her own experiences in China as well as the United States. Both in form and in process, her work is richly layered with fine details in a massive scale. The trademark of Hong’s work has been developed during graduate school in America with large black and white charcoal drawings of long hair. She has used disembodied hair to explore her identity as an immigrant, woman and mother.

Hiba Schahbaz (b. Karachi, Pakistan) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She trained in traditional Indo-Persian miniature painting at the National College of Arts, Lahore and received her MFA from Pratt Institute, New York.

Her practice has expanded from miniature to human-scale paintings that depict female bodies while referencing self-portraiture.

Luis Rincón Alba is a Colombian artist, scholar, and Assistant Professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts whose work explores the political and social potential of festive and carnival practices in the Caribbean and Latin America, tracing their ties to colonial-era rebellion and the end of slavery. His book project, Dance to the Hurt! Carnival Performance, Riots, and Festive Mutuality, argues that carnival represents a technology of collective political resistance that challenges modern notions of selfhood, a thesis he examines through music, dance, film, performance art, and literature. As an artist, he works across live performance, video, sound, and writing, and his installations have been featured at the Hannah Traore Gallery and the Clemente Center in NYC; his recent works — Maraca (2022), The Voice Does Go Up (2023), and Chant Down (2023) — study percussive patterns and the transcendent qualities of the voice. He teaches performance studies, Latin American and Caribbean aesthetics, and contemporary art from the Americas, and has been recognized with fellowships from NYU’s Center for the Humanities, Columbia University, Humanities New York, and a Fulbright fellowship in 2010.

Jeffrey Cheung is a Chinese-American artist, skateboarder, musician, and community organizer born in 1989 and raised in the Bay Area, who lives and works in Oakland, California. A graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz, he came to painting and printmaking as a way to explore his sexuality and identity, developing a vibrant visual language built on richly colored, androgynous figures whose bodies twist and embrace in joyful, fluid compositions that celebrate queer life. Rooting his practice deeply in community, Cheung in 2012 co-founded Unity — alongside fellow artist Gabriel Ramirez — which has grown from a monthly skate meetup into a multifaceted collective encompassing a printing press, skateboard company, and art studio dedicated to supporting queer people, trans people, and people of color. Since 2017, he has hand-painted more than a thousand custom skateboard decks, gifting them to young skaters at community gatherings. His work spans paintings, prints, zines, murals, and skateboards, and has been exhibited internationally at institutions including Hashimoto Contemporary in New York, Jeffrey Deitch Projects in Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where he and Ramirez curated the 2024 exhibition Unity Through Skateboarding. Beyond visual art, Cheung is an active musician and community organizer, reflecting his lifelong commitment to carving out inclusive spaces in communities that have historically excluded people like him.

Devin B. Johnson (b. 1992, Los Angeles) is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Brooklyn. He works primarily in the language of painting. Johnson paints from improvised, freestyle digital collages sourced from personal and historical imagery arranged into fictional, sentimental situations. The paintings are an amalgam of exterior and interior moments which are inspired by Johnson’s walks around Brooklyn. The work follows the idea of metaphysical transformations of both exterior and interior spaces while referencing the body and landscape in relation to memory. Devin B. Johnson obtained his BA in Fine Arts from the California State University of Channel Islands (2015) and received a Masters of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute (2019). He is one of sixteen artists from around the world selected for the inaugural year of the Black Rock Senegal residency, and was featured in the Northeast and MFA issue of New American Paintings (2019). “Melody of a Memory” is Johnson’s first solo exhibition with Nicodim.
