INVADER
Invader (French, b.1969), also known as Space Invader, is an Urban artist originally based in Paris. He affixes mosaic images of characters from the 1970s video game “Space Invaders" in cities around the world. Once a work is completed, Invader records it as an "invasion" and creates accompanying maps and reference books to indicate the location of each piece. Invader began these urban, outdoor installations in Paris in 1998, and continued to "invade" 31 other cities in France, followed by an additional 22 cities across Europe. Currently, cities in the United States, Canada, Asia, and Australia are also home to examples of Invader's work.

Jan Kaláb
Jan Kaláb, a graffiti pioneer in his native Czech Republic made his name on the European art scene originally under the name Cakes in the late 90s. After establishing himself on the Old Continent he ventured to New York, where he collaborated on numerous projects with the kings of the graffiti scene at the time - Key and Rome.
Jan found a new way to push his own limits and challenge himself by making 3-D Graffiti. Under the name of Point, he sculpted huge abstracts letters he chose to put in the streets and on the walls. This was another form of graffiti, in daylight, and without a spray, but truthful to the spirit of competition and innovation of the urban scene.

Ilhwa Kim
Ilhwa Kim (b. 1967 in South Korea) creates works that are composed of tens of thousands of seed units. Each seed unit has a combination of straight lines and circles, which compose a tiny single universe. The materials are created personally for every single universe. The Korean artist dyes each sheet of paper by hand with thousands of different colours cutting and rolling the layers of paper to make them rigid. It gives Kim an emotional bonding to every single universe. Not a single universe has the same shape, look or colour in her work.

Joseph Klibansky
Joseph Klibansky (b. 1984 in Cape Town) is a Dutch artist based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. His work examines the relationship between a thing and its essence, between what we see and what an image implies. The sense of precarious equilibrium that can be found in his recent paintings and in his sculptures reveals just how sadly dystopian an image can be that, at first glance, appears happily utopian. It thus reveals how utopia and dystopia can coexist within the same image.

Banksy
Girl With Balloon, 2004Banksy (British, born c. 1974/1975) is one of the most well-known, if anonymous, street artists working today. Banksy, the pseudonym adopted by the artist, guards his privacy and the details of his life remain largely unknown to the public. He initially garnered fame for his grafitti, which combines spray paint and stenciling techniques with commercial, political, and contemporary imagery, infused with ironic social commentary and humor. His work first began appearing on walls in and around Bristol and London’s Shoreditch district during the mid-1990s, and he has since gone on to place images on the sides of corporate buildings, billboards, and the Israeli West Bank wall.

Maxim Wakulschik
Maxim Wakultschik's art consists of mathematically precise and accurate constructions that create formal order from a chaos of independent elements. In his complex and multilayered objects, he explores the interplay between light and shadow, surface structure and colour vibration. Focusing on the effect of the reflection of the ambient light results in oscillating variations of reality that constantly challenge us to a proactive approach. His works perpetually change as the slightest movement, the smallest alteration in perspective leads to stunning new impressions, turning his works into kinetic objects. The edges of reality and illusion are blurred and become flexible constructs of the individual, which constantly challenge us to push the boundaries of our perception.

Angela Santana
Angela Santana is a Swiss artist based in New York. Santana creates large scale oil paintings and explores the implications connected to the historical representation of the female body and its lasting influence into the digital age. While the female body is at the center of her work, she is using it as a canvas to speak about a myriad of social and political topics, agendas and discussions reverberating in our ongoing cultural conversations. It is also a critical look at the human figure in consumerism culture. Just like her multi-layered paintings themselves, the symbolism and meaning is not only what the surface promises in its often lush colors - it is deeply rooted in protest.
Her unique technique is a synergetic combination of digital and classical painting: Creating a new narrative and transforming the object to become a subject.The permanence and size in her work are an antagonism to the fleeting digital thumbnail. This process allows her to break tradition and question the status quo.
Santana is currently continuing her oil paintings series and expanding her artistic practice with sculptures. Angela Santana’s work has been featured in printed and digital magazines and platforms such as Artnet, Vogue, The Art Gorgeous, Novembre Magazine, Untitled Magazine, Art She Says Magazine and many more.
Her works have been exhibited in shows across New York, Europe and the United States, United Kingdom and Germany as well as fairs such as Art Miami and Zona Maco in Mexico City. Santana's Solo Show opens in May 2022 in Mayfair London.
