Alex Buehler's paintings are concerned with dislocating reality. The word 'daydreaming' is appropriate here, the desire to escape from the tension of daily life. "It is the moment when we fantasise, when we question where we are, the body and mind".

His paintings want to seduce the viewer with the use of colours and their atmosphere. In this context the inside:outside relationship between the viewer and the painting come into play.

Elinor Evans's paintings derive from the daily and social scenes of her friends, by using photographs and taking drawings as an influence to create the paintings. They combine elements of social activity, with a visual twist and sense of humour. The physicality of paint and the playful way of using colours in them is fundamental.

Masamitsu Ichigetsu's works are focused on the relationship between human body and mind. 'Self' and 'others' — these two words stimulate his inspiration. "This becomes clear to me when I am observing someone, who is emotionless, timeless, and almost dreamy".

He finds this interrelationship in live performance, often contemporary dance. Dancers express their emotions by means of body movement and facial expression, thus the body becomes an impersonal device. He:she is there and nowhere. Then one would realize that the 'self' watching performance is drawn deeply into their world in order to integrate with them, namely 'others'.

Sumire Kakiuchi's painting are the outcome of feelings, which seem to be inexpressible in words. It's the collections of these emotions — happiness, sorrow, sadness, trepidation, and elation — we all share in our souls, which inspires her to make paintings. They aim to transform these silent thoughts into signs, symbols, marks, and lines like the playfulness of a child. This appropriation of the playful is where she sees the purest form of communication of these feelings.
