“I wish that there was a way that I could share this level of peace and happiness that I have in searching for what I call the hue of humanity” - Chaz Guest

The celebrated New York–born artist Chaz Guest reminds us of the beauty of existence with luminous portraiture that seems to exist somewhere between generous invitation, heartfelt nostalgia and uncompromising statement. The faces he paints, both famous and unknown, are often radiant and seem to contain an unmistakeable kernel of joy, but his work is not merely an exercise in uplift. It can also take you deep into the shadowed caverns of American history, and ask you to reconsider prevailing narratives and unconscious prejudices.

“I’m trying to embrace experiencing what it is to be human, and painting is my way of communicating – I don’t want someone to try to teach me that. I want the universe and nature to show me the way to purity, the way to divinity” - Chaz Guest

As a young man, Guest worked as an illustrator for French fashion magazine Joyce, and there is an almost mythic edge to the tale of his rise in that none other than the legendary designer Christian Lacroix nudged him toward single-minded pursuit of the art life in the 1980s. It was prescient advice. As a fine artist, Guest has consistently attracted extremely high-profile collectors, such as Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey and the Obamas, and even witnessed his work make its way to the hallowed walls of The White House, where his portrait of the first African American Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall hung for almost a decade. FUTURISTIC DRAGON sat down with him in his studio as he worked on a new series for his autumn show at RX & SLAG in Paris to talk process and purpose, and find out why, for him, all portraiture is manifest transmission of energy.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Benjamin Blanc

Benjamin Blanc is a French figurative painter raised between Paris and London, currently completing an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art after graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2023.
Working within the confines of interior spaces, Blanc explores the tensions between bodies — and the friction, or absence of friction, between them. His paintings balance intimacy and unease, drawing on art historical depictions of the grotesque alongside deeply physical, body-aware processes.

Painting from memory and sensation, his figures inhabit transitional moments: caught still, mid-gesture, somewhere between instant and event. Through material shifts between malleability and stiffness, his work creates psychologically charged scenes suspended in time.
Recent exhibitions include Galerie Peter Gaugy in Brussels, with features in Museletter and Ark Magazine.

Step into the world of Hynek Martinec, a Czech-born, London-based British painter who doesn’t just redefine hyperrealism, he elevates it into philosophical territory.

Educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, Martinec absorbed a reverence for pre-modern oil techniques: meticulous glazing, chiaroscuro, and Renaissance-level draftsmanship. He later sharpened this discipline during residencies in London and New York, evolving a visual language that draws as much from Rubens and Titian as from Caravaggio and Ribera.

Martinec’s canvases are spaces of philosophical tension. He often begins with vintage photographic references, staging scenes that feel historically anchored yet digitally disrupted. Through this, he probes questions of authenticity, temporal layering, and the sacredness of image-making in a post-truth era.

His subjects — often ghostlike figures, empty chairs, or fragmented icons — evoke both personal memory and collective myth. Catholic symbolism appears not as doctrine, but as allegory: meditating on themes like transcendence, death, and the illusion of permanence.

In 2007, his intimate portrait Zuzana in Paris Studio won the BP Young Artist Award at London’s National Portrait Gallery, catapulting him into a wider public consciousness. Since then, Martinec has exhibited at institutions including the Nationalmuseum Stockholm, Finnish National Gallery, Helsinki, the National Gallery in Prague, DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, Prague and Parafin Gallery, where he continues to shape contemporary figurative painting with an almost spiritual rigour.

His brush speaks in centuries. His gaze sees through them.
Martinec invites us to witness not just a subject, but the metaphysical weight behind their image — the layers of time, myth, and mortality woven into every stroke.

Painting as metaphysics and hyperrealism. Tradition in rebellion.

Jay Yeomans is a UK-based artist working across painting, photography, and collage.

For Hackney Art Week, he presents works from his Pool Paintings series at Unlock in Hackney Wick — an experimental Italian restaurant and arts space on the edge of Fish Island, set beside a canal lock.

Rooted in a love of architecture, these works begin with collage and evolve into imagined, idyllic spaces — where steps descend into pools and structures invite stillness, drawing the viewer into places of rest and quiet escape.

Influenced by American abstract expressionism and pop art, Jay works primarily with oil paint on canvas and wood. His background in photography continues to inform his practice, blending mediums to create layered, immersive compositions.

Following his studies in photography, Jay further developed his studio practice through the Turps Hastings off-site programme, refining both his process and visual language.

“When David Harewood was offered the lead in Othello in a new West End production, he found he still knew his lines from almost 30 years earlier, when he became the first black actor to play the role at the National Theatre. Harewood brings profound depth to the part, alongside Toby Jones as Iago and Caitlin FitzGerald as Desdemona, in Tom Morris’s striking staging, now on Marquee TV.” - The Guardian
