This August, W1 Curates hands the spotlight to H+ Creative's roster, one artist, one night, one world at a time. Seven solo shows, seven distinct visual languages, all under one Ibiza sky.
Milan based artist Alex Valentina opens the week bridging nature and technology, blending 3D art and real photography into a universe of liquid synaesthesia and enchanting creatures. Expect iridescent surfaces, fluid organic forms, and meticulous digital craftsmanship transforming flora, fauna, and fruit into images that feel both fantastical and tactile.
Over two decades, Andy Thomas has developed a visual language entirely his own, fusing digital technology with watercolor to explore nature's collision with the technological world. Drawing from extensive travel through some of the world's most ancient rainforests, Thomas layers flora and fauna into evolved abstract compositions, a striking statement on how technological advancement reshapes the natural systems around us. His solo show extends into newer territory as well, animated video installations built from digital audio software that give voice and light to nature itself, an eerie, immersive environment where sound and image move as one.
Los Angeles based Blake Kathryn brings her dreamlike digital landscapes to the show, fusing art deco and nouveau influences with cinematography, futurism, science fiction, and solar punk. Her vibrant palettes and ethereal undertones create immersive worlds that feel plucked from a memory that hasn't happened yet.
Australian born, New York based David McLeod takes the room into pure texture and form. Working through experimental materials, simulations, and generative methods, McLeod's squishy, otherworldly shapes flip across the frame, familiar yet alien, inviting viewers to reach out and touch what shouldn't be touchable.
With over 2.7 million followers, Personality builds hyperreal AI-driven animations that bend the line between simulation and memory. First-person motorcycle rides through neon rain, bike descents through blown-out forest light, aerial dives into impossibly vast canyon cities: each piece drops viewers directly into the frame, immersive, kinetic, and just unstable enough to feel like a dream you can't quite place. His solo show turns that signature vertigo into a full room experience.
Emmy winning producer and animator James Tralie brings a scientist's precision to an artist's eye, translating NASA's planetary missions into dreamy, otherworldly visualizations. From 360 asteroid surfaces to comic book style animations of Martian atmospheres, Tralie's solo show turns deep space into immersive spectacle.
Closing the week, Eastern European visual artist Maciej Drabik captures fragments of time through 3D animation, distilling emotion and atmosphere into digital impressions that make the world stop for a minute. A concept artist and matte painter for major studios and games, Drabik's work leans cinematic, moody, and quietly surreal.
Seven artists. Seven nights. One island.
