HAZE UNTITLED 003 x PURPLEHAZE MAG LAUNCH

✦ YOU’RE INVITED ✦

HAZE.UNTITLED Vol.003 x PURPLEHAZE LAUNCH NIGHT Berlin, December 2025

In a world saturated with images, HAZE.UNTITLED Vol.003 asks a simple question:

What remains when the noise fades?

This exhibition brings together two worlds I navigate daily,

the precision of editorial storytelling and the emotional depth of contemporary art. Here, the glossy language of PURPLEHAZE Magazine meets the raw pulse of the selection HAZE & featured artists.

Two rooms, two systems of seeing: the finished image and the process behind it.

The first room is a chorus of voices.

Painters, sculptors, each carrying their own worlds,

their own obsessions, their own truths.

The second space mirrors the inside of an editor’s mind

the cover, the drafts, the visual arguments, the chaos that becomes clarity.

It is a reminder that every polished photograph once lived as a fragile idea

taped to a wall, pinned, questioned, reimagined.

Some are names you already know.

Some are the names you’ll remember starting tonight.

HAZE.UNTITLED Vol.003 is about the tension between exposure and vulnerability,

between the visible and the almost-hidden,between the “editorial” and the “real.”

Berlin has always been the place where these oppositions collide

and somehow coexist. This exhibition is my love letter to that collision.

Thank you for stepping into this conversation with us.

For looking closely. For being part of the story as it continues to unfold.

Rachele Frison, born on January 16, 1995, is an emerging Italian artist based in Milan. She completed her studies at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts until April 2023, following which she began participating in group exhibitions, initially in Switzerland and later in Italy, China, and Denmark.

Prior to delving into painting, Rachele embarked on a lengthy journey focused on drawing, a practice that holds a pivotal role in shaping her oil paintings. Her interest in hatching within drawing occasionally translates into her pictorial works.

Her artistic upbringing is intertwined with the realms of illustration, fairy tales, and art history. Drawing inspiration from these realms, Rachele derives the forms, figures, and compositions that populate her paintings. The atmospheres she creates are intimate, nocturnal, dreamlike, and primal, drawing from folkloric narratives associated with witches and water lilies.

Maryna Pryiomova (b. 1989, Ukraine) is currently based in London and works across painting, sculptural objects, and installation. Her practice explores neofeminism, biopolitics, self-identification, and memory, using the female body as a symbolic framework that extends beyond physical form to convey ideas, emotions, and cultural identity.

She holds a BA in Fine Art from the British Higher School of Art and Design (2015–2019) and is currently pursuing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London (2025–2026). Her academic background also includes studies at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art (London, 2020), Reichman University (Tel Aviv, 2024), and the Visual Art Center (Tel Aviv, 2023).

Her work has been exhibited internationally in both solo and group shows, including Studio Sheva (Tel Aviv, 2024), YDMD Studio (London, 2025), Omi Gallery (London, 2025), Excelsior Studios (London, 2024), and Holy Art Gallery (London, 2024). She has participated in the Get Art Fit Residencies (2024) and presented work at Fresh Paint Art Fair with Gallery Eclectictlv (Tel Aviv, 2024).

O’Meehans sculptural work “Lost Lands” was awarded the over all winner for the 2024

Artist Statement

Holly O’Meehan’s art practice explores the effects humans have on the environment, with

more recent interrogations focusing on the chaotic blend of natural and urban

environments of large European cities. A stark contrast from the Artists home environment

of rural Australia in an agricultural setting, this series of works attempts to capture the

symbiotic balance between plant and brick that seems to fill every unassuming corner of

this city. A speculative future environment of evolved flora species, hybrids of both native

and introduced plants, that slowly but surely regain control of the landscapes’ minerals that

currently stand as bricks and concrete, walls and foundations, residential structures and

infrastructure.The outcomes of these investigations result in sculptural forms, heavily

featuring ceramic and/or clay, that invite the viewer to look past the common narrative told

by our nations farmers.

Devon Nguyen (b. 1987) is a Berlin-based contemporary artist whose practice across

abstract painting and ceramic sculpture. With a background in Fashion Design from the

University of the Arts London – Central Saint Martins UK, she carries forward a distinctive

sensitivity to form, materiality, and visual storytelling into her multidisciplinary art practice.

Rooted in an ever-evolving exploration of emotion, memory, and the natural world,

Devon’s work is defined by an intuitive process that transforms internal landscapes into

tactile, poetic compositions. Her paintings and sculptural pieces are marked by their

atmospheric depth, refined palettes, and quiet yet powerful narratives — inviting viewers

into contemplative spaces where the boundaries between the physical and the emotional dissolve.

Devon’s artistic journey reflects a commitment to continual discovery and self-expression.

Her ceramic sculptures, often grounded in organic forms and symbolic gestures, extend

her visual language beyond the canvas, bridging texture, weight, and sentiment. Together,

her mediums form a cohesive dialogue that examines the subtleties of human experience.

She has exhibited her work internationally through solo and group exhibitions that have

been recognized for their evocative themes and thoughtful craftsmanship. These

milestones have expanded her global presence and reinforced her position as a compelling

emerging voice in contemporary art.

Alexandra Oracz (b. 1995, Poland) is a visual artist based in Berlin. Through her art, she explores

the fluid boundaries between external and internal worlds, focusing on moments when the

physically familiar suddenly feels strange. She is interested in how emotions are felt within the

body, shaping it into a space that offers both refuge and movement.

Her recent works deepen this exploration by engaging with themes of time, transience, and the

quiet tension of being held within one’s own temporality. She reflects on how time can feel both

expansive and constricting – a force that shapes the emotional landscape of the body, creating

moments of stillness, repetition, or dissolution. Emotions become temporal markers, echoing

sensations of longing, fading memories, and the subtle fear of slipping between past and future.

Her works invite an introspective journey where the invisible becomes visible and the intangible

becomes tangible - an invitation to explore one’s inner world, to encounter the fragility and fluidity

of time, and to experience transformation.
