Natale Adgnot is a sculptor who combines garments, thermoplastic, and various fibers to create abstract soft sculptures and wall panels. Focusing on the connotations of each material, she layers high- and low-brow elements to tell the cross-class and intercultural story of her life.
The daughter of a horse trainer, Adgnot was raised in Texas. She earned a BFA there before immigrating to France in her 20s, eventually becoming a dual American/French citizen. Originally a painter, her experience making garments for haute couture runways led her to focus on sculpture. Later, while living in Japan, she began using thermoplastic (an artist-grade shrink plastic) to work three-dimensionally. Her mediums have expanded to include textiles, horsehair, and other materials that signify all of these places. This series, Saddle Coutourage, is a metaphor for her yearning to bridge cultural gaps, including western-style clothing and horsehair to represent Texas, cotton muslin for Paris, and kimono silk for Japan.
Adgnot has been featured in solo and two-person exhibitions in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. Group exhibitions include SPRING/BREAK, “Black & White” at BWAC juried by Jenée-Daria Strand of the Brooklyn Museum, and “I was not born alone” at Transmitter. Her work has appeared in Hyperallergic, Whitehot Magazine, Art Spiel, ArtForum, The Japan Times, and more. Adgnot is the founder/director of N/A Project Space and a co-director of Underdonk. She lives and works in Brooklyn and New Paltz, New York.

Gretchen Andrew (b. 1988, Los Angeles) is a Utah-based artist who hacks systems of power with art, code, and glitter. Merging the painterly traditions she mastered during a five-year apprenticeship with British artist Billy Childish and the strategic technologies of her generation, Gretchen exposes and playfully disrupts the visual politics of power. She first gained international recognition through her performative internet “vision boards,” which manipulated search engines to place her name among the top results for Frieze Los Angeles, the Turner Prize, and the cover of Artforum. 
Gretchen’s acclaimed Facetune Portraits investigate the tension between human identity and technologically enforced ideals of beauty. In this complex process, she uses images of beauty pageant contestants to make visible the normally hidden process of digital filtering and AI-driven beauty modifications. The resulting works were described by The Standard as “chilling and poignant.”
In 2025, the Whitney Museum of American Art unanimously acquired two works from her Facetune Portrait Universal Beauty series, marking a significant institutional milestone. Other collections include the 21c Museum Hotel, RFC Art Collection, Francisco Carolinum Linz, and the Monterey Museum of Art. Her work has been featured at Tate Modern, the V&A Museum, National Gallery X, House of Electronic Arts Basel, The Photographer’s Gallery London, and Fotomuseum Winterthur.
Gretchen has presented in leading art fairs worldwide, including Untitled Miami (where she received the 21c Museum Hotel Acquisition Award), Paris Photo (solo), Vienna Contemporary (solo), Expo Chicago, and Berlin Art Week (featured solo). Her practice has been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Knight Foundation, and National Gallery X London, where she was an artist-in-residence. Her work has been covered internationally by Artforum, Flash Art, Vogue, The Washington Post, Financial Times, The Los Angeles Times, KUNSTFORUM, CNN, Fortune, and Forbes. She was also featured on the cover of The Art Gorgeous, recognized as “one of the nicest people in the art world.”

Russell Young (born in 1959 in Yorkshire, UK) lives and works between Southern California and New York. Young is a British-American artist best known for his large scale silk screen paintings examining cultural icons, the nature of fame, and the souring of the American Dream. His earliest breakthrough was his photography of George Michael for the sleeve of the album Faith in 1987. Young photographed many music stars throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including Morrissey, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, REM, The Smiths, Bauhaus, Diana Ross, Paul Newman, Björk, and many others. He went on to shoot over 100 music videos for leading artists during MTV’s height in the 1990s, which brought him to the United States. 
Young eventually moved to California, where he began his current practice with his sold-out show Pig Portraits in Los Angeles in 2003. The many series that have followed, including his ongoing Heroes + Heroines and WEST, demonstrate his visceral, analog processes and signature use of diamond dust. He has exhibited across the world in numerous galleries alongside masterclass artists, institutions, and cultural figures.
