4Corners is as an international movement of artists from four continents based in Hong Kong with their belief in equal parts concept, craft and aesthetics.

Through the works of Mark Aldred, Mike Patterson, Ajay Malghan, Clara Forest and Polina Shubkina deal with cardinally different themes and use totally different techniques they are united into a movement by the following factors. The necessity of time for understanding of their deep concepts and the undeniable beauty of the images. This combination of qualities allows their work to speak for itself. Another distinctive feature of our Post-Futurism is their insistence on a dialogue between the author and the viewer. Although their work goes way beyond the literal, the Post-Futurists don't try to stay on the same, creating especially-subjective aesthetics of work which are impenetrable without inside information on the artist. They leave open the possibility for a viewer to solve a creative puzzle independently. Each member of the 4Corners group scrupulously investigates objects of their own interest in each the body of work. With Michael W Patterson this has been the exquisite patterns formed by movement over time. With Mark Aldred it is the human tendency to create order out of a chaos of time and chemical process in ageing walls. With Clara Forest it is the way we perceive long or tall objects as a series of overlapping frames. With Adjay Malghan it is the stunningly beautiful microscopic structures in fruit and meat. Polina Shubkina does typologies of human emotions which she turns into iconic images, using combinations of live models, make up and careful posing and subtle lighting, to exemplify each of the emotions she has chosen to represent.

Mike Patterson is an internationally exhibiting American artist and fine art photographer. Throughout his career he has experimented with many different mediums but has recently moved to Hong Kong to focus on a new body of work that is primarily photographic. This recent work seeks to expand the photographic vocabulary to accommodate the new ways in which images are produced, distributed and viewed in the digital age. In particular, Patterson is interested in non-linear user-driven narratives, digital reproduction and dissemination, and the alteration of meaning as data is translated across various media.

Polina Shubkina was born in Ekaterinburg, currently lives and works in Hong Kong. Photography has been her passion ever since childhood. However she was side-tracked from it a few times. Polina was studying industrial design at the Ural State Academy of Architecture and Arts in Russia. Then moved to ESMOD in Paris where obtained a BA majoring in Fashion Design. After ESMOD served as a junior accessories designer for Araldi 1936 and Kenzo. Finally in 2011, realized that she wants to go back to photography and enrolled in an MFA at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Hong Kong. The imaginary characters of Shubkina's work "Broken People" personify uncontrolled emotions and critical states of being which can appear in anybody's life. This is her effort in externalizing the internal chaos or trauma.

Clara Forest is a French photographer based in Hong Kong. She comes from an alpine town in the south-east of France and holds degree with majors in Latin, Greek and French. She mainly works with film cameras, preferably medium format. Her favourites are her Yashica Mat, her Kiev 88, her Zeiss Taxona, her Holga and finally her Zeiss Ikonta 520/2. The latter is an old folding camera she inherited from her grandfather, with which she produced her most recent series A World Of Signs. A World Of Signs is a series of multi exposure 6 x 18 cm Panorama images of neon signage and street intersections. It examines the way in which we see long or tall images as a series of overlapping frames as our eyes track across them.

Mark Aldred is an Australian photographer based in Hong Kong. He is of mixed descent, English, Irish, Scots Jew, Geordie and Australian Aborigine. He holds a BA with two majors, Behavioural Science and Intellectual History from James Cook University plus a Graduate Diploma in Education and an MA in Applied Linguistics from Flinders University. His original photographic background was photojournalism and he served as the founder and publisher of Brink Magazine for several years before going back into photography full time. In 2010 he made the decision to investigate fine art photography by enrolling in an MA in photography at the new Hong Kong Campus of Savana College of Art and Design, SCAD. During his first term there, he produced the work which evolved into his first venture into abstract photography, Rorschach Walls. This work consists of close up photographs of Hong Kongs old walls shot on medium format .These images function like the famous Rorschach inkblots used to psychologists to look into the subconscious mind. These powerful abstracts invite the viewers to find images within the images and ultimately tell them as much about themselves as about the walls depicted.
