Dominique Fung takes a fresh look at surrealist painting. She paints objects from museums and their catalogues. She also paints from auction catalogues, and historical artefacts. They come together in busy scenes with weird propositions. Swimming pools can be the same size as a teapot. Vases the same size as a door. The paintings have a soft fuzz, and their colours are warm too. Many have a honey-coloured glaze, like traditional Chinese scroll paintings. But alongside these sweet tones are ominous undercurrents. Dismembered body parts, knives, snakes and rose thorns all linger – a quietly disturbing world unfolds.

Intimate and contemplative, Danielle Mckinney paints moments of female solitude. Using acrylic paint on canvas, she puts single figures in homely places. They’re always occupied, whether smoking a cigarette or sitting deep in thought. She draws attention to physical details, using luminous colours. The photographic backgrounds, faces and fingernails are often highlighted in bright orange. She says, "I can’t undo that photographic training – it’s embedded in how I begin a painting". She uses photos of Art Deco interiors from Pinterest and Instagram as a starting point. American painters Barkley L. Hendricks and Kerry James Marshall inspire her. Both had a huge influence on Black American portraiture.
