JACOB GERARD is a true outsider artist with no formal training. His work is powerful, brilliant in creativity, and rich in humor. His colors, brightness, attention to details, emphasize a scale of production usually found in a well seasoned educated artist. In less than 2 years of painting exclusively he has amassed a small arsenal of paintings that would be considered a full career for many. Whether this is an attempt to never go back to construction or years of pent up creativity the current results will last a lifetime. At this moment in time all signs point to this being the beginning of a flourishing artistic career.
YOOL KIM, a Seoul-based artist, navigates ideas of identity and subconscious mind through mixed media artwork. Her paintings focus on figures expressing a form of disorder. This is seen not through just facial expressions, but extends throughout the painting to express dissatisfaction and dizziness that come from the human experience. Kim’s work often highlights self expression that have not yet matured, an expression stunted in growth. Her desire is to organize these emotions through her artwork.
Kim was born in 1982 and graduated from Hongik University Graduate School of Industry in 2015 with a degree in Color Studies.
JASPER STIEVE is a self taught mixed media artist who is heavily influenced by industrious settings and admires the fluent chaos found in city scapes. Primarily working with found objects and in airbrush, his work often encourages interaction, pushing away the common “do not touch” principle. He is a household name in the NYC skateboarding community and recently created his own niche fashion brand. He lives and works in Brooklyn.
MARY LIMONADE is a Belgian self-taught artist. Her work features a strong spirit of independence, through a great freedom of action and a wide range of practices. In addition to graphic and illustrative concepts in her paintings, she is also a prolific street artist and muralist. Her paintings are nostalgic and ebullient in memories, overflowing with anecdotes and bittersweet feelings. All of her works have a freshness to them, free of academic rules and the standards of representation.
JIEM lives in Lille in Northern France. He paints there in his studio and all over European streets and walls. He has a long and wild history with graffiti. His work is greatly influenced by his explorations and travels. He is a self-taught artist working in a “faux naïf” style. He enjoys the freedom of this expression and his work benefits from this lifestyle. Subcultures, social interactions, diverse cultures often dominate the subjects in his work.
