Five Artists You Should Know: Rethinking Identity, Place and Practice in Contemporary Art

1 day ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

In the landscape of contemporary art, the question of what is seen — and who is heard — is being constantly renegotiated. While the global art market continues to elevate spectacle and novelty, a quieter shift is underway: artists are increasingly using their work to question the very structures that frame identity, geography and authorship. This shift is not simply aesthetic. It is political, social and deeply personal.
Eilen Itzel Mena Confronts Invisibility Through Ritual and Ancestral Abstraction

2 days ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

You can feel the spirit of the Bronx in Eilen Itzel Mena’s brushstrokes—loose, confident, alive. And if you listen closely, the breeze of the Caribbean whispers through her colours. Mena, an Afro-Dominican American artist, makes work that doesn’t just show up—it takes up space. It says: I’m here. I’ve been here. Her roots stretch between two places that pulse with cultural memory: the South Bronx and Baní, in the Dominican Republic. That tension—and that richness—runs through her work.

How a London Art Agency Is Rewriting the Rules of the Art World-for Women

1 week ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

In today’s art world, the gatekeepers are no longer just gallery directors in Mayfair or blue-chip collectors at Basel. They’re also on Instagram, TikTok, in creative studios and members’ clubs—and increasingly, they’re women with a mission. One such force is Sensity Studio, a London-based art management and production studio at the forefront of this transformative shift: reimagining how art is produced, promoted and placed—and who gets to be seen.
Greg Deda: The Ambiguous Beauty of Imagined Realities

1 week ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

Looking at a painting by Greg Deda doesn’t quite feel like looking. It feels more like slipping — into a mood, a memory, maybe someone else’s dream. The Canadian artist doesn’t push a narrative; instead, he lays out an atmosphere, sets the lighting just right, then leaves the door slightly ajar. Whether he’s working in magic realism or plunging headlong into abstraction, his works ask more than they explain. Women recur throughout his paintings — anonymous and theatrical, often surreal.
Jemila Isa: Framing Black Womanhood Through the Lens of Faith and Memory

2 weeks ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

In the work of Jemila Isa, the pull between faith and doubt, between past and present, unfolds in scenes shaped by her upbringing in London and her Nigerian heritage. Her paintings and sculptures carry the quiet weight of memory—echoes of Pentecostal hymns and the ever-watchful presence of chapel walls.

Now, Aleksa is turning her attention to something even more intimate: the act of giving.

3 weeks ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

Contemporary art and car culture don’t often share the same garage. But for the founders of MotoArto Network, that divide is exactly what makes their intersection so thrilling. Launched by filmmaker and designer Marchella de Angelis and curator Kim Shaylor, MotoArto is a bold reimagining of the automobile—not as status symbol or machine, but as canvas, muse and cultural mirror.
Calum Hall, Creative Debuts, and the Artist’s Right to Be Seen

4 weeks ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

Creative Debuts Founder Calum Hall’s journey into the art world didn’t begin with gallery openings or fine art degrees framed in oak. Hall came to it the way many working-class dreamers do — through the back door. Well, not entirely — but we’ll get to that in a minute. It started in a modest home in North East England, where creativity meant his mother’s careful hands knitting warmth into sweaters, and second-hand treasures spoke volumes on charity shop shelves.
