Mentor Bios

Victoria Roth


Victoria Roth is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her biomorphic abstract paintings sit on the edge of recognition— a meaty shape expands like a muscle, a gnarled form morphs into a heart, that bulbous symbol. Through her imagined and high keyed compositions, she explores ideas of queer abstraction and desire as embedded in bodily forms that appear to constantly transform. While her paintings are loud and visceral, they resonate on a psychological level, revealing themselves over time. Victoria Roth (b. 1986, Paris, FR) is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. She received her MFA from Columbia University in 2014 and a BA in History of Art & Architecture and Visual Arts from Brown University in 2008. She has held recent solo exhibitions and presentations with Broadway Gallery, NY (2023, 2022), Brennan & Griffin, NY (2019, 2017), fAN Kunstverein, Vienna, AT (2017), Lulu, Mexico City, MX (2016). Roth’s work has been included in numerous group shows at various galleries and institutions such as Galería Marta Cervera, Madrid, ES (2024); Hesse Flatow, NY, (2024); Hales Gallery, NY (2023); Kate Werble Gallery, NY (2023); Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn, DE (2022); 1969 Gallery, NY (2021); Palais de Tokyo, Paris, FR (2019); The Pit, Los Angeles (2018); Helena Anrather, NY; Lulu, Mexico City, MX and more. In addition to her studio practice, Victoria Roth is an arts educator in New York City.


Delphine Hennelly


Delphine Hennelly (b.1979) is a painter and drawer. Her practice addresses the plurality of identity with notions of theatre, pattern, repetition, uncanny color palettes, and satire. Using anachronistic timelines, her paintings allude to both what is temporal and enduring, conjuring the notion of an omnipresent event. Hennelly represents archetypal subjects and relationships as a method to depict social patterns, performativity, and constructions of the self, removing such notions from any clear biography while pushing the boundaries of each archetype to subvert their fixity and activate their fluidity. Her work is particularly inspired by gender and feminist theories, tapestries, art history, and early Modernism. Hennelly has exhibited internationally, including recent presentations with CARVALHO PARK (New York), Cassina Projects (Milan), and Huxley-Parlour (London) and she is a three-time recipient of The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Award. Hennelly is represented by Pangée (Montréal) and CARVALHO PARK (New York).
