ARTISTS

At NOA contemporary, we are committed to supporting a select group of artists whose practices resonate with depth, rigour, and distinctive vision. Our roster is built around the concept of “Mark Making” – the fundamental human impulse to leave a trace, to inscribe presence into time and space through artistic gesture.

We represent mid-career visionaries such as Simon Berger, who transforms glass into poetic material narratives; Jakup Ferri, whose playful yet profound ink drawings and textiles reveal alternative worlds of humour and tenderness; Márta Kucsora, whose gestural abstractions merge material experiment with painterly virtuosity; and Franziska Stünkel, whose photographic installations capture layered reflections and emotional atmospheres. Alongside them, we champion the materially investigative practices of AATB, Patric Sandri, and Tobias Gutmann, each expanding the boundaries of form, technology, and performance within contemporary art.

We also support emerging voices such as Hinano Hayama, whose works synthesise Japanese cultural memory with delicate material explorations; Piet Baumgartner, who builds playful yet conceptually precise installations engaging technology and perception; Emanuel Heim, whose painterly interventions open subtle spatial and cognitive questions; and Oliver Kümmerli, whose sculptural practice integrates conceptual and material refinement.

What unites our artists is their commitment to distinctive processes. Each drives forward an artistic language rooted in their own lived experiences, formal research, and intellectual curiosity. Whether through performance-glass, abstraction, narrative image-making, or installation, their practices reveal the plurality and urgency of contemporary artistic production.

As NOA contemporary, we work with a globally informed and institutionally aware approach, enabling our artists to access exhibitions and opportunities at prestigious venues such as Centre Pompidou, Ithra Museum, ΕΜΣΤ Athens, Venice Biennale, Museo del Vetro Murano and international art fairs. Our strategy integrates artist-centred development, collector education, gallery and museum partnerships, and long-term career mapping to ensure visibility, influence, and sustainability.

We believe in curated diversity – assembling a portfolio that reflects a thoughtful cross-section of practices across abstraction, conceptual architecture, sculptural experimentation, performance, and narrative image-making. This diversity is not merely aesthetic; it is strategic, allowing us to position each artist in a space where their voice is distinct yet connected within a broader cultural discourse.

We see our role as partners and cultural strategists. We support our artists in marking the cultural landscape with works that are formally rigorous, materially compelling, and conceptually resonant. We believe that each mark made by our artists is a testament to the enduring human need to create meaning – and we are dedicated to amplifying these marks, ensuring they are seen, remembered, and integrated into the ever-evolving narrative of contemporary art.

The singular practices of the artists we work with are distinguished by their unique and radical creative trajectories, unified under the concept of “Mark Making.” Each artist has deeply developed their own artistic process and vision, positioning them as pioneers within their fields. Through the materiality of their works and the conceptual nuance of their visual languages, they inscribe meaning into the world – responding to the profound human desire to creatively appropriate the surrounding lifeworld by leaving a record of being there within an otherwise fleeting time-space. Their individual marks become traces, signifiers, and vestiges upon the shared canvas of our existence.
We carefully analyse the distinctiveness of each artist, ensuring that our collaborations are grounded in a deep appreciation for their singular voice. Equally essential to this intense and collaborative journey is the ability to build relationships rooted in trust, reliability, and a shared commitment to working hard in pursuit of the goals we define together.
We are captivated by compelling narratives rooted in rich artistic backgrounds – by artists who carry within them a story that demands to be told. Rather than focusing on a single material or medium, we embrace the potency of diverse techniques and the vibrant dialogues they foster. The artists with whom we collaborate each hold unique origin stories that illuminate how they came to create art, resonating with a wide range of audiences and collectors. This breadth of background and practice opens opportunities across art institutions and galleries worldwide, as their works span two-dimensional pieces, sculpture, performance, and interactive projects.
