Every artist you admire made a decision you haven’t made yet.
The decision to stop being prey.
More training. More technique. More waiting. You’ve been hunted for years by everything you thought was helping you improve.
On October 25th, the moon is full. The last night on the island.
By then, you’ll know what you came to hunt.
Curated field test of your artistic identity.

Going in, I thought the marketing was a little heavy handed. DAMN y'all they are not joking around. I actually confronted some internalized "demons"? And then by the end came out of it all unsure I was ever really an artist to begin with, but in the best possible way.
Olivia Mae. Artist. USA.
I'm still trying to figure out what the hell happened to me over those 7 days, because everything looks and feels different now.
Ben Aldis. Artist and designer. UK.
The most unexpected one was this creature hidden inside me... and the creature wanted to PAINT. No style, no stories, no quest for anything but the RAW painting. Let's call it the Quarantine Effect.
Melanie Duval. Artist. Denmark.
Now I'm not afraid to fuck up. Inner perfectionist is dead. We'll never be the same.
Ellaya Yefymova. Artist and doctor. Ukraine / Portugal.
I paint differently now: slower, fuller, in rhythm with my breath. This piece is very special to me and I decided to burn it.
Chris Talib. Artist. Germany.
The world has expanded by a magnitude I cannot entirely express. Your openness, insight, optimism, and of course, formidable talent are such an inspiration. I wear my ring with pride.
Ryan Graff. Artist and gallerist. USA.
I felt like I was surrounded by other black sheep like myself. It didn't feel strange. It felt familiar. I felt home for the first time.
Anastasia Belous. Artist. Belarus.
The special alchemy of Quarantine infused me with a RAGE OF CERTAINTY. I don't think I'm alone. Life IS the work.
Laura Hines. Artist. USA. (2x Quarantine)
Vincent Desiderio said "that looks nice" and I snapped back "it isn't supposed to look nice." You looked at me with forest eyes, and I, being a forest, looked back.
Juan Neira. Artist. Ecuador.
