It’s so great to have a chance to share some of the artists that have given their time and energy here - I would love to have listed everyone - thank you to you all & •for the opportunity to share Top 10 Emerging Artists | Stacie McCormick

Our next Top 5 Editorial features an extended format from our usual style, including a spotlight on the top 10 next gen artists from those that know. This week’s Top 10 comes from London-based abstract painter and cultural leader Stacie McCormick.

Stacie’s practice explores awe, endurance, and the passage of time through immersive, gesture-driven work that balances vulnerability and strength, and has been exhibited and collected internationally.

Alongside her studio work, she founded Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop, developing residencies and non-profit initiatives that have supported over 600 artists and curators, fostering rigorous, collaborative environments. As both practitioner and organiser, she creates and participates in structures that strengthen the artistic community from within.

She has also led and contributed to wider sector change, serving as Chair of a-n Artists Information Company and founding Fair Art Fair, with all her work grounded in the belief that serious artistic practice depends on time, support, and strong infrastructure.

Celebrating 10 years at Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop, we continue revisiting the Radical Residency Programme, an experimental strand of our residency model that has supported 8 Radical Residencies to date. Each four-week residency culminated in a group exhibition, offering artists time, proximity and shared space to test ideas and expand their practices.

Radical Residency VIII brought together artists working across sculpture, painting, photography and installation, united by material experimentation and personal narrative.

Amale Freiha Khlat () translates memories of war through objects and installations, exploring creation through destruction and inviting viewers to reconsider perception.

Emily Stevens () treats paint as a living, sensuous medium—a companion, a distraction, and a form of self-soothing, holding moments in a state of possibility.

Sojung Park (.rek) investigates the sensory hierarchy, creating sticky kinetic sculptures that emphasise touch over visual dominance in a hyper-mediated world.

Sang-Mi Rha () builds immersive metaverses in her paintings, reimagining childhood memories and global experiences through animal-shaped masks and whimsical narratives.

Reed Wilson () transforms everyday objects into marvels of light and character, making sweets, twine, and tea towels extraordinary in small, meticulous acrylic works.

Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop continues to provide artists with time, space, mentorship, and exposure to expand their practice.

Ingrid Berthon-Moine ( ) examines language, gender and the body, using humour and provocation to challenge cultural and linguistic power structures.

John A. Blythe () works with expanded photography, exploring material processes while foregrounding art’s role in learning, confidence and community.

Sasha Bowles () creates provisional environments where objects, film and painting operate as fragments of illusion, transformation and artifice.

Jo Chate () transforms everyday observations into layered, enigmatic paintings that repeatedly obscure and reveal traces of the familiar.

George Georgiu builds diaristic, large-scale works that expand the intimacy of sketchbooks into raw, public visual records of lived experience.

Ethan Caflisch () works across painting, sculpture and film, with a focus on ceramics, exploring material memory through rigorous, process-led making.

Each four-week residency culminated in a group exhibition, offering artists time, proximity and shared space to test ideas and expand their practices.

Radical Residency VII brought together artists working across painting, sculpture, installation, ceramics and mixed media. Here we introduce the second group of the Radical Residents.

Daisy Billowes () combines drawing, text and image to interrogate myth, female restraint and post-internet visual culture. Her work bridges materiality and digital influence, using tactile mark-making to question how meaning is constructed today.

Amir Dehghan () works across installation, painting, sculpture and sound to address identity, exile and political censorship. Drawing from his Iranian heritage, his practice creates dialogue between Western visual language and Iranian sociopolitical realities.

Camilla Bliss () explores liminal spaces and states of transition through sculpture. Drawing on ritual, myth and historical practices, her work investigates the multisensory relationship between the human, non-human, conscious and unconscious.

Radical Residency VII further reinforced Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop as a vital platform for experimentation, exchange and artistic risk.

Each four-week residency culminated in a group exhibition, offering artists time, proximity and shared space to test ideas and expand their practices.

Radical Residency VII brought together artists working across painting, sculpture, installation and mixed media. Here we introduce the first five of the ten artists.

Marcia Teusink ( ) is a multidisciplinary artist exploring climate change, environmental collapse and regrowth. Working across painting, sculpture, video and printmaking, her practice often unfolds through collaboration and research-led processes.

Olivia Strange () works across sculpture, installation, moving image and poetry to construct layered, visceral narratives. Drawing on mythology, the female body and q***r subjectivity, her work challenges patriarchal structures through embodied storytelling.

Sayan Chanda () creates ritualistic, totemic forms using fibre, clay and found textiles. Through labour-intensive processes, his works act as vessels for memory, mythology and personal and collective anxieties.

April Dublin-Beeton () works intuitively with painting and drawing, often on unstretched canvas and paper. Her practice centres colour and gesture as a means of processing emotion, memory and lived experience.

Diana Zrnic () works with figurative painting and sculpture to explore hybridity, simultaneity and digital–physical duality. Her work reflects on contemporary life as a condition shaped by overlapping realities and constant displacement.

Radical Residency VI brought together artists working across painting, sculpture and interdisciplinary practices. Here we introduce the second five artists.

Noa Ironic (.noa) works between painting and sculpture, drawing on personal history and transformation. Her practice blends humour and grotesque elements to animate space and confront identity, belief and selfhood.

Liam Mertens () explores presence, absence and the idea of home through painting. His works are quiet, reflective spaces that hold memory, distance and emotional residue.

Ally Rosenberg () approaches sculpture through the body, slicing and casting materials to examine the relationship between image, structure and perception. His work is informed by both artistic practice and neuroscience research.

Diana Savostaite (.savostaite) creates expressive, semi-abstract oil paintings driven by colour and gesture. Her work balances emotion and structure, resulting in dynamic compositions that sit between figuration and abstraction.

Alexandra Searle () is a sculptor whose practice explores material tension, balance and fragility. Her works often suggest precarious states, testing how form occupies and negotiates space.

Each four-week residency culminated in a group exhibition, offering artists time, proximity and shared space to test ideas and expand their practices.

Radical Residency IV (October 2019) brought together an international group of artists working across painting, sculpture, installation, sound and text. Here we introduce the first five artists.

Ana Barriga () works with humour, play and irony, creating unpredictable situations that disrupt familiar visual languages. Her practice balances absurdity and critique, drawing on painting, objects and installation to subvert expectations.

Charles Laib Bitton () approaches art as a critical proposal shaped by history and shifting cultural values. Through carefully constructed objects, his work questions how realities are formed, framed and exposed.

Alexia Laferté Coutu (.laferte.coutu) moves between sculptural interventions in urban space and exhibition-based installations. Her work is driven by processes of transfer, reanimation and correspondence, allowing objects and materials to shift context and meaning.

Juls Gabs () works with sculpture, sound, textile and technology, creating immersive installations that explore sensory perception and elemental forces. Her practice often merges performance, tech-art and collaborative experimentation.
