Emerging from Fintan Magee’s ongoing exploration of the relationship between painting, photography, and lived experience, The Travellers draws on a photograph taken by the artist in the Kyiv metro, where underground stations continue to serve as bomb shelters during the war. Depicting two children absorbed in a television programme while waiting below the city, the work captures a quiet moment in which the routines of everyday life persist amid uncertainty.

Characteristic of Magee’s recent practice, the image is deliberately blurred, dissolving the boundaries between documentation and painterly interpretation. Rather than obscuring the scene, this visual instability becomes a narrative device, evoking both movement and unease. Balancing intimacy with fragility, the work reflects on the resilience of ordinary life while reminding us that beneath moments of apparent normality lies a world shaped by conflict, impermanence, and constant change.

New York–born artist John Andrew Perello, better known asJonOne, emerged from the 1980s graffiti scene alongside artists like Basquiat and Warhol before settling in Paris, where his vibrant, gestural language evolved beyond the streets. In Environment, his dynamic strokes and layered color fields turn attention toward the natural world. Each hand-finished screenprint ripples with oceanic blues and hazy greys — an abstract meditation on the sea, the sky, and the pollution that threatens them. The edition bridges JonOne’s urban energy with an urgent call for ecological awareness.

Emerging from BIGOD’s exploration of vernacular culture and overlooked forms of labor, this edition reflects on the circulation of images and their role in shaping collective memory. Drawing on the figure of the street newspaper seller, the work positions artistic creation as an act of distribution: something that moves, repeats, and carries urgency.

Built through layered fragments and graphic rhythms, the composition evokes processes of print and reproduction, where images accumulate and transform over time. Balancing manual gesture with industrial reference, the work establishes a dialogue between past and present, translating a street-based visual language into a form that can be held, shared, and preserved.
