I really love the graffiti dreamscapes Xenz creates. Inspired by the agile figure and poetic nature of birds, the artist uses spray to draw amazing art. His golden color brushes just blow me away! Graeme Brusby aka Xenz was born in 1974 and has been
an active graffiti artist since the early 90’s.

I am fascinated with multitalented Matthieu Bessude aka McBess. His site is a visual candy by itself, hiding a large collection of fantastic black n’ white illustrations. Character design in its best, I assure you. Plus a cool video in the entrance of his site. Click-click! His first solo comic book is entitled “Malevolent
Melody” is debuting along with his band’s first record. The Dead Pirates have some seriously cool tunes as well! New York based artist Aakash Nihalani uses his bold colored tapes to create isometric designs on various places around the city. As you can see in the video, the artist reacts to space without scheduled planning and transforms it to an unexpected geometrical artwork which often reacts with surrounding elements and gives the illusion of three dimensionality. Check out his cool & original magkinetic drawings. Click and play around with your mouse.
I really like how the abstractness and geometry is balanced with a warm sense of intimacy and magic atmosphere in Moka Art’s paintings. A whimsical color and form choreography indeed! Katerina has graduated from the Athens School of Fine Arts and has showcased her artwork in numerous group and solo exhibitions. Kukula is one of my top fav artists. Born in an isolated village north of Tel Aviv, her artwork is both influenced by classical art forms and contemporary pop culture. Dreamy feminine, mostly doll-like characters are depicted in surrealistic backgrounds and surrounded by symbolic objects. The paintings (oil on board) shown here are from her “Immortal Artifacts” series.
Kukula notes “Many people say that my characters resemble dolls. For me dolls represent immortal youth. But they are also the remains of something that has passed, and when they are antiques, of someone who has died. The first antique doll I bought was one produced by the German-Jewish firm Kammer & Reinhardt at the beginning of the twentieth century. While this delicate bisque doll survived two world wars, both the manufacturer and the original owner are gone forever. So the very immortality of any artifact is always reminiscent of the death of something intimately connected to it. As I began making sketches for this exhibition I realized that precisely because art is immortal it is also morbid. Art survives—it carries within traces of its dead producer. So it represents not only the eternal, but also the ephemeral. Art becomes artifact. Being the crumby narcissist that I am, I have noticed that I produce art in order to leave my own artifacts—in other words, my own death mask. And so the whole process of painting becomes rather macabre, like writing your own requiem.” “How far is too far” is the title of Eva Mitala’s second solo exhibition in Greece. With a fabulous series of acrylic paintings the artist seeks to depict the urban side and highlight the magic-realistic moments of daily life in Tokyo. By adding and/or subtracting stylized forms, she captures
the essence of the city which bursts with visual noise and highlights the pure energy and emotion that hides within. |
