Marcus Antonius Jansen was predestined to a career shadowed by conflict. He was named after the Roman general Marcus Antonius, whose romance with the Egyptian queen Cleopatra led to the civil war that almost brought the empire to ruin. Born in New York City in 1968, Marcus Jansen creates powerful paintings that respond to his influences from growing up in the U.S. and Germany as well as cultural and social-political themes. His socially charged urban landscape paintings are influenced by the two opposite worlds he grew up in. Through his colourful and expressive brushwork, Jansen documents the human condition critically, socially and politically and invites the viewer to engage in the reflection.

DotPigeon is the project of the art director Stefano Fraone that mixes in an explosive see-through, fashion, rap, pop culture and art glitch.

Rune is a self-taught artist whose work has found identity as part of a growing urban art movement. His paintings have been exhibited in Denmark, Germany, Australia and across the US. Much of Rune’s inspiration comes from his time spent travelling and observing cultural traditions, religious motifs, textiles, and costumes from around the world.

Through my works I have found a way to reconnect with my source, that being my Bulgarian heritage where I endeavour to explore Bulgarian culture; inviting the viewer to submerge into the limitless sea of mysteries, rituals and realities existing beyond the being everyday life.

Based in Los Angeles for just over 20 years, Amir H. Fallah originally moved from the Baltimore area on the East Coast to attend art school. Once finished with their studies, they decided to pursue a graduate degree at UCLA, and after experiencing the beautiful weather and the art scene in LA, never left. Back then, the art world in LA was not as big as it is now, which was actually appealing to Amir. It felt like the Wild West and allowed for more experimentation and rule-breaking compared to the high-stakes and specific trajectory of the East Coast, particularly in New York.

In my work I explore the realms of macabre and grotesque ideas and images in a humorous and colourful manner. I take themes like death, cheating, toxic masculinity, beastialty etc.. and bring them into a playful world I built that kind of says "I know these are parts of life no matter how dark, so might as well make fun of them".
