New York-based collective DIS probes the contradictions of contemporary culture. Formed in 2010, after the fallout of the 2008 financial crisis and global recession, DIS as an entity has typified the aesthetic, cultural, political and economic impact of those events.

A highlight of this year's Focus Asia section, Supawich Weesapen explores the intersections of natural, mythical, and cyber phenomena, creating works of enigmatic energy and radiance. His paintings allude to RGB colour effects, which have been identified as the subconsciously engrained palette of our current age. While probing our technological present and future, Weesapen also looks towards the spiritual and sublime.

Set in both private and public spaces, Jonathan Lyndon Chase’s drawings on paper portray everyday scenes of leisure.

A highlight of the Frieze Masters section of the fair, Rolph Scarlett was a key figure in the New York School of Abstract Expressionists. Scarlett avoided any reference to the outside world and believed that non-objective painting was an act of 'pure creation’.

Nell’s interdisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, performance, installation, video, wearables, collaborations, community projects, and public art. With a distinctly Australian perspective, Nell draws upon art history, popular music, and spiritual traditions to highlight the interconnected nature of our experiences. Nell introduced ghosts into her practice after a period of self-investigation and psychotherapy, choosing to recognise her own ghosts rather than banish them.
