Dan 23
After numerous art related careers has of late been concentrating on his own pieces. With a mix of watercolor, poetry and large scale paintings Dan 23 focuses on the subject of black history and freedom, specifically the struggle of those trying to achieve it.
Least Wanted
Has tirelessly spent his days collecting over a centuries worth of American mugshots. Created as utilitarian instruments, and meant to be destroyed when obsolete, they survive as remnants of a bygone era of hard-copy originals, extraordinary visual windows on the past, and riveting physical artifacts, often accompanied by municipal ephemera.
Bruno Leyval
Bruno focuses on the use of ink and has been honing this technique for several years. Often focusing on the struggles of minoirty cultures and racsim in the modern world he is also the originator of awakestudio.com an arts website forging links between the arts and alternative culture.
MC1984
With a history in sculpture MC1984 has in recent years turned his hand to roaming bestiary stickers invading the streets he travels and his comic inspired portrait work combining influences from print making and art history.
