VOLCAN

Rex & Edna, Contemporary storytellers

Volcan, the Dutch/Colombian duo of Rex and Edna, invites us to delve deeply into human behaviours and perceptions in today's society. Through unique and diverse contemporary storytelling, this creative duo consistently presents an extraordinary reflection of what drives the world today. They highlight the vibrant interplay of different cultures and subcultures on an international scale. Their art not only showcases the colourful tapestry of global cultures but also encourages a more profound engagement with the nuances of societal dynamics.

In 2024 Volcan participated in the 60th Venice Biennale, further solidifying their impact on the global art scene. Edna, with several international master's degrees in fashion and extensive experience in craftsmanship and the luxury fashion world, brings a refined understanding of materiality and design to her work. Rex, an award-winning creative director in advertising, contributes a sharp narrative insight, blending creativity with a strategic approach to storytelling.

Together, based in their Notting Hill studio in London, each piece by Volcan serves as a mirror, capturing the essence of contemporary life and the forces that shape it, inviting audiences to explore and understand the world around them in new and meaningful ways.
