Bing’s artwork is much more than an assemblage of colors or forms. She constructs wholly new environments, unbound by familiar reference points. Her “aesthetic energy flows out of her pictures and brightens the viewer’s mind with buzz and excitement.” Each painting is a vibrant amalgam of emotion and intellect, containing the history of the artist’s formation and her desire “to tell through the beauty of her personal artistic alphabet.” Hers is a visual language worth exploring through individual sensitivities.
Camilla Ghione (b. 1995) is a contemporary Italian artist working between Monaco and Italy. Her paintings explore the intersection of nature, psychology, and the cosmos, using mixed media—especially acrylic and resin—to create immersive, luminous surfaces. A key element in her work is the integration of light: each piece is designed to react to its surroundings, shifting subtly with the light of day and reflecting its environment, making every viewing experience unique and dynamic.
