Kaws
Continuing in the tradition of pop art, his influential work crosses painting, sculpture, and printmaking along with fashion, merchandise, and toy production while taking inspiration from art history and popular culture. In his paintings, KAWS deconstructs his appropriation of iconic characters into forms that draw on the tradition of abstract painting.
Martin Whatson
A continuous urge of finding beauty in the ugly seems to be Norwegian street artist Martin Whatson’s philosophy. He looks for inspiration in cities that often seem monotone, or in studying soon to be demolished buildings. Much like the man in his piece ‘Behind the Curtain’, Mr. Whatson is trying to pull back the grim-seeming urban facade to find the colour and cheer beneath the surface.
Mark Drew
Mark Drew is an Australian artist based in Tokyo since 2009, and co-founder of China Heights gallery (Sydney, AU). His artwork revolves around pop culture references, 90s rap samples and the visual side of music.
Sam Friedman
Sam Friedman is a contemporary American artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. His work incorporates landscape and abstract elements with bright colors and shapes. His work moves between representational and abstract depictions with seeming ease and spontaneity.
Greg Bogin
Greg Bogin is a Contemporary abstract artist who lives in New York and works in Brooklyn. Bogin’s brightly colored, shaped abstract works evoke a sense of joy, happiness and optimism with a touch of irony. He received a BFA from Cooper Union in New York in 1987. He has exhibited widely, mounting solo and group shows at Marlborough Contemporary, New York and London; Leo Koenig Inc., New York; Mary Boone Gallery, New York; Galerie Bruno Bischofberger, Zurich; Paolo Curti/Annamarie Gambuzzi & Co, Milan, Jablonka Galerie, Koln.
OakOak
French Street artist OakOak is one of the most ingenious and humorous street interventionists, turning everyday objects in cities into comic-like stories on sidewalks. Born in Saint-Etienne, France, since 2006 he has made the urban outdoors his playground with his astonishing eye for details. OakOak plays with mundane flaws and adds his own vision and reference that often stems from geek culture ‘To poeticize the urban environment’.
Super A
Stefan Thelen's anti-superhero identity Super A is a Dutch artist who uses traditional painting technique and a knack for design to create compositions that manipulate familiar iconography into mind-bending and inquisitive pieces. His alter-ego, Super A is the filter with which the life and observations of Stefan Thelen are distilled down and turn into inspiration. All of his work evolves out of personal experiences or thoughts that grow into concepts which tightrope between fiction and nonfiction. Super A is a mystery that leans on the art doing most of the talking for Stefan Thelen, taking the viewer into a wonderland walking down a yellow brick road in which Thelen's figurative and modern surrealist compositions are providing playful puzzles to decipher.
C215
Born in 1973 as Christian Guemy, the Paris-based French street artist known as C215 has swiftly moved in to being one of the top stencil artists in the world. His work consists mainly of close up portraits of people. C215’s subjects are typically those such as beggars, homeless people, refugees, street kids and the elderly. The rationale behind this choice of subject is to draw attention to those that society has forgotten about. C215 is a prolific street artist and has practiced his art in cities all over the world.
Kayla Mahaffey
Living in our society can be tough and most of the time we have to make the best of it. A wild imagination can take you so far, but at the end of the day we need to realize and observe the world around us. And the world around us is where the Artist finds her inspiration to paint. Colorful paintings that contain hints of whimsy and realism that tell a story of inner thoughts and personal issues that sometimes go unheard. Being born and raised on the South side of Chicago, IL, only ignited her love for all things art. Seeing the struggle and the support from the community made her work evolve to a concept that is personal to her. She continues to further her technique, and creativity in her field in order to paint a beautiful picture of a new world for those around her.
Delisha McKinney
Delisha McKinney makes whimsical illustrations that are larger than life, full of vibrant colors, textures and hidden meanings. Each piece represents another page in the story she’s been working on her whole life. Her otherworldly characters represent the thin line between fantasy and reality, a whole new world sketched by McKinney who is a self taught painter and self proclaimed nomad from the South, now practicing in Chicago.
Pez
Legendary street artist Pez, “fish” in Spanish, started painting in 1999 on the outskirts of Barcelona. At first he used to write his signature, and soon it evolved into a fish. Searching for a universal language to communicate with walkers, he found the smile. One day he decided to paint a fish character with a great smile near his tag. El Pez was born! He’d found the huge smile a way to pass on good vibrations to the walkers on the streets.
Atomik
A 100 percent Miami artist. The graffiti legend, part of the infamous MSG crew, a group of local graffiti heroes, has been painting the city for quite some time. Famous for his iconic orange character which emerged as a response to the demolition of the Miami Orange Bowl ,the artist also marks the walls of Miami with his sleek hand-styles, graffiti and lettering. While painting for almost 20 years, Atomik’s playful characters and hand styles have become as much a symbol of Miami as are palm trees or neon lights. His unmistakable orange character has been placed all over the world bringing a piece of Miami to places such as Chile, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Holland, Germany, Italy, Spain, England, Australia, Korea, and Thailand.
Art By Bankrupt
Also known as Bankrupt is a contemporary mixed-media artist from central Florida. He is known for his grandiose, vibrant, geometric pieces often featuring twisted depictions of hip hop artists, fashion, and iconic pop culture figures, such as “Hyped Marilyn”, “Jordan”, “Gucci Ghost Trooper”, and “Zombie Krusty”. The innovative, self-taught artist develops his unique pieces on wood, typically standing at 2-5 feet tall, but he never reveals his actual process or the specific materials used.
