Æmen Ededéen (b. 1979, Mountain Home AFB, Idaho) is a first-generation graduate with a graphic design degree from The University of Arizona. A 2018 grant recipient of the Roswell Artist in Residence Program, Hagler has since made New Mexico his permanent home. Currently, he lives with his wife and daughter in the high desert village of Placitas at the foot of the Sandia Mountains.
In recent years, his practice has been guided by an approach he calls Nihil, a set of nine self-imposed principles that have grown out of solitary excursions throughout the state. These principles determine all aspects of the work from its imagery and process, to the media and objects comprising it. Concept and meaning, as such, naturally unfold out of synchronistic experiences occurring over time.

Dean Fox (b. 1979 in London, UK) studied Fine Art and Illustration at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design, London. Fox’s paintings offer up a gloriously hallucinogenic exploration into not just the metric and matrix of Impressionism but, more importantly, the praxis and lexis of painting itself. Fox’s image first starts out as a digital collage, born from a tessellation of various works by artists such as Manet, Monet, Gauguin or Degas. Once he has digitally sewn together various vignettes from his chosen artist(s) source, he then transfers his montage onto his canvas in paint. This is when the chrysalis metamorphoses; the bug of historical reference – from Impressionism, Symbolism to Fauvism – now transformed into a butterfly of painterly possibility, boundary and contingency. His work has been exhibited across Europe, the UK and US. Exhibitions include Æmen Ededéen / Dean Fox / Daniel Pitín, Nicodim, Los Angeles (2026, forthcoming); Scene XVII: Dean Fox, Keeping the Books on the Shelf, Matt Carey-Williams, London (2026, solo); Scene VI: Dean Fox, Dreams of Pathways Home, Matt Carey-Williams, London (2024, solo); Scene XIII: Eden, Matt Carey-Williams, London (2024); Embodied Forms, Thaddaeus Ropac, London (2024); After Dark, Newchild, Antwerp (2024); Episode I: Bump, Matt Carey-Williams, London (2024); Arcadia and Elsewhere, James Cohan Gallery, New York (2024); Equilibrium, HOFA Gallery (House of Fine Art), London (2023); RE: WILD, Dellasposa Gallery, London (2022); All Art Great and Small, Dellasposa Gallery, London (2022); Dean Fox: Contemporary Classicism, Estella, New Orleans (2021, solo); Romance Rebirth, HOFA Gallery, London, UK (2021); The Arx, London (2020); Myth Making, HOFA Gallery, London (2020); among others. The artist lives and works in Epping, UK.
