LUISA BALDHUBER
Luisa Baldhuber (*1994, Munich) studied art education in the class of Prof. Matthias Wähner und Prof. Tanja Widmann from 2015-2021 at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and received the DebütantInnenpreis in 2021. From 2018-2019 she studied fine art at the University for Applied Arts in Vienna and in 2023 she received an Erasmus scholarship for the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain. In February 2025 she graduated as a master student of Prof. Peter Kogler at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.
Her artistic interest lies in the relationship between colour, space and light and how these influence our perception of space.
Based on classical painting on canvas, the artist detaches colour surfaces from their two-dimensionality and links them to architecture or landscape in new ways. In doing so, she consciously questions and breaks through predetermined spatial boundaries and architectural structures, which she reads as manifestations of our thinking and our idea of reality. The results are independent spatial constructs that superimpose themselves over the original environment, allowing fictional and real spatial dimensions to enter into reciprocal relationships with one another.
MARJAN BANIASADI
Marjan Baniasadi (*1993, Iran) did her BFA and Master at the National College of Arts, Lahore, Pakistan and received a fully funded scholarship to pursue her second masters in ceramic design from University of Pécs, Hungary in 2020. She later pursuit a Diploma in Fine Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and was granted the DAAD Award for Outstanding Achievements of International Students in 2025.
​
Marjan Baniasadi believes Persian carpets are not only commodities but are mobile living objects capable of listening and recording the time. Through incorporating myths, tales and fantasies of multiple times, these rugs, in each and every thread woven together, imbibe, delineate and convey simple and complex narratives of life and death, of pain and pleasure, of kings and peasants. Each individual carpet witnesses, conceals and then narrates a story of its own.
KUN SU
Kun Su (*1993 Beihai, China) studied painting from 2012-2016 at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. From 2018-2025 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in the class of Prof. Anke Doberauer were he graduated in 2025.
​
In his paintings Kun Su refers to the Old Masters, such as Diego Velazquez, Anthonis van Dyck or Jan Vermeer and reflects them in a contemporary way. Kun Su's works are characterised by their intimate depiction of solitary figures and objects that reflect the spiritual isolation of our time. Through the targeted use of light and shadow, he creates a dramatic and thought-provoking atmosphere. His paintings invite the viewer to explore the psychological states of loneliness and isolation and to empathise with the quiet but powerful scenes.

FLORIAN NÖTHE
Florian Nöthe (*1995, Munich) graduated in 2025 with honors as master student at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in the class of Prof. Florian Pumhösl.
In his artistic practice, Florian Nöthe mainly deals with the staging of found objects. His focus lies on developing forms of presentation that allow the objects to be preserved in their original state as far as possible.
The objects used are both found and purchased items and often bear traces of wear and tear that can be read as visible signs of social influences. The objects are intended to evoke memories and feelings and create an emotional connection to individual or collective experiences.
