Jen Stark (born 1983 in Miami, Florida) is a contemporary artist who both draws and animates, but what really makes her stand out are her intriguing paper sculptures inspired by wormholes, microscopic patterns and sliced anatomy.
Through her mandala-like art she raises questions about spirituality, replication and infinity, echoing patterns and intelligent designs found in nature. She has exhibited her works in various galleries around the U.S. like the Girls’ Club Collection, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami. She was also the proud recipient of the prestigious South Florida Cultural Consortium’s Visual and Media Artists Fellowship in 2008.

Artistic statement:
The saying goes that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. It occurs in places you least expect. Revealing its art in the human body, but also cruelly absent in the presence of deformations and scars. Ashkan Honarvar (1980) depicts an undeniable, unavoidable beauty by accepting the darker sides of human ‘nature’. The body, torn by acts of war, exploited by the sex industry or used as a tool for seeking identity, is the focal point of his work.This constitutes a search for a universal representation of the evil latent in every human, providing an opportunity for reflection. His aesthetic dissection has an intriguing macabre nature, which opens the images to interpretation. Honarvar’s almost empiric exploration of the human condition knows no bounds. Its goal; the indefinable core.
Iranian artist Ashkan Honarvar currently lives and works in The Netherlands

Tri Nouio is an upcoming fashion designer based in Taipei, Taiwan. He studied at the Shih Chien University and graduated only last year but has already launched his own collection called ‘Noumenon’ where he combines art, technology and 3D imagery into dazzling garments. If you ask Nouio himself he believes that an image is easier to convey than a message and therefore uses 3D technology to develop motifs influenced by nature. By combining the familiarity of nature with new technology he wants to convey an ironic statement that modern technology cannot protect nature. Worn with 3D glasses, it is intended to be a distraction from the human form. Yummy!

Where one might only see ugly potholes and cracks Juliana Santacruz Herrera uses the grey asphalt as her canvas to create wonderful street art. By using bright yarns and fabrics, she braids and weaves site-specific pieces, injecting some colour into the urban landscape of Paris where she lives. Mon Dieu!

Chinese artist Yu Chen graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1988 where she now works as a teacher. Throughout her artistic career she has been highly productive but what I like the most are her two series called ‘Red Babies’ where chubby babies are dressed in green army garb just like Chairman Mao Zedong back in the day. Yummy!

Olek, who is one of our favourite yarn bombers, was born Agata Oleksiak en Poland but later on moved to New York where she took up crochet. A good decision it seems since her yarn sculptures have been presented in galleries in Brooklyn, Venice, Brazil, Istanbul, her homeland Poland and of course out on the streets.
Keep that crochet hook moving!

David Chung aka ‘The Chung!!‘ sure knows how to make people laugh. His artwork, which filled with humor and awkwardness, works as a sort of catharsis for the moments of humiliation and he reminds us to step back, stop taking ourselves so seriously, and use the moment to laugh at our failures. The Chung!! has shown in galleries all over Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and parts of Europe. He currently works full time during the day as a Background Designer for Nickelodeon and a fine artist by night.

Zhong Biao was born in 1968 in the middle of the Chinese Sichuan Province. After graduating in from China’s Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied oil painting, his work has been exhibited all over the world. Actually it might not be over the top to call him China’s most famous contemporary paintor and over the years he has been taking on the visual experiences of an era as the image source of his works, including sculpture and china representing China’s past glories, the labor models of the Cultural Revolution, and such symbols of modern life as McDonalds and Boeing aircrafts.

Installations, photography, video, music, performance, painting, drawing, texts… There doesn’t seem to be a single medium that German artist Theo Altenberg isn’t familiar with, but what we like the most are his candylicious oil on cardboard paintings.
