Daniel Kalinski, also known as CHAZME, is known for his depictions of surreal, intricate, and complex architectural forms. He began his artistic career with figurative painting in Warsaw’s graffiti scene; since then, his visual language has evolved into formal, graphic abstraction—toward Escher-like, surreal constructions reminiscent of dystopian urban labyrinths.In his paintings, he combines classical mythology with contemporary urban experience—brutalism meets poetry. The urban labyrinth, a hallmark of his visual language, is one of his most powerful metaphors for the urban environment of modern man.Chazme, born in Laufen, Switzerland, in 1980, now lives and works in Warsaw. In addition to art, the Polish artist studied architecture and urban planning at the Warsaw University of Technology. He is a world-renowned muralist: his large-scale works in public spaces can be found in Berlin, Cologne, Glasgow, and Washington, D.C., among other places. His canvas works, illustrations, and collages have also been featured in exhibitions in Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Rome; in 2011, he was awarded the ARTAQ Urban Art Award.

Etnik ist das Alias des italienisch-schwedischen Künstlers Alessandro Battisti. Während seines Studiums an der Kunsthochschule Florenz macht Etnik Bekanntschaft mit Italiens bekanntesten Grafitti Writern und widmet sich fortan der Arbeit mit Typographie und Sprühlack. Schon bald kombiniert er seine Schriften mit geometrischen Formen und findet zu einem ganz eigenen Stil des dreidimensionalen Stylewritings, das ihn über die Grenzen Italiens bekannt macht. Etniks Begeisterung für Geometrie, Urbanität und Architektur, motiviert ihn seine Bildsprache immer weiter zu entwickeln. Dabei treten nach und nach die typographischen Elemente mehr und mehr in den Hintergrund und machen Raum für geometrische Skulpturen und architektonischen Ideenskizzen. Er malt visionäre Stadtmodelle, nimmt ungewöhnliche Perspektiven ein und verbindet urbane Landschaften mit Naturelementen. Seine aktuellen Arbeiten die er mit dem Arbeitstitel “Prospective Cities” benennt, zeigen abstrakte, phantastische Wolkenstädte und futuristische Baumhäuser. Die auch in seinen heutigen Arbeiten wiederkehrenden typographischen Elemente in Etniks Werk sind eine Reminiszenz an den Ursprung seines kreativen Schaffens als Graffiti Writer.Etnik hat seine Arbeiten in Ausstellungen in Italien, Frankreich, Deutschland und den Niederlanden gezeigt. Neben den Arbeiten für den Galerieraum malt er zahlreiche Murals. Etnik ist einer der gefragtesten Urban Art Künstler Italiens.Senden Sie uns eine Nachricht, wenn Sie Interesse an Werken von ETNIK haben und den Katalog (PDF) mit den verfügbaren Arbeiten von ETNIK erhalten möchten.

Jana & Js are a well-established duo: Jana, from Austria, and JS, from France, have been collaborating since 2006 to develop a visual language that is equally at home in public spaces and exhibition halls. Inspired by the city and its architecture as it changes over time, as well as by its residents and observers, they spray-paint urban landscapes, architectural details, and portraits in a play of reflections and transparencies.In their images, they explore the human condition within the urban environment: Against backdrops of densely packed architectural landscapes, they depict individuals who appear at once lost and isolated, yet also searching, yearning, and hopeful. At its core, Jana & Js’ work focuses on transience, the physical dimension of time, and the emotional relationship city dwellers have with their ever-changing urban surroundings.They work using a multi-layered stencil technique in the Artiste-Ouvrier style—developed collaboratively within the WCA (Working Class Artists) collective—using exclusively their own photographs as templates. In addition to painting, the artist couple also creates sculptures from wood and metal: complex, interlocking facade elements onto which they paint house fronts reminiscent of honeycombs.Jana was born in Salzburg in 1985, and JS in Paris in 1981. After spending many years in Madrid and Paris, Jana & JS now live and work in Salzburg. Their works have been exhibited in public spaces and at the Urban Nation Museum in Berlin, among other places.

In Théo Lopez's paintings, lines glide across the canvas. They follow imaginary free forms, swing in harmonious rhythm, take straight paths only to suddenly change direction. In doing so they define shapes reminiscent of wild-style graffiti, inspired by Dadaism and Surrealism. Asked about further influences, Théo Lopez names the Russian Constructivists and American Abstract Expressionism. He brings all of these currents together in works that belong to the contemporary art movement of Graffuturism. Alongside his expressive formal language, what stands out is his skilful handling of light and shadow and his use of bold colours, which lend his works a wonderful vibrancy.Théo Lopez is one of the standout talents of the French urban contemporary scene. Born in 1989 in the suburbs of Paris, he now lives and works in Barcelona. As early as 2008 he was invited by the art collection 9ème Concept, for which he realized several major projects on an international scale. Since then, Théo has continued refining his expression and visual language, moving further and further from the figurative toward the abstract, from effect toward essence. The works of this still- young artist have been featured in numerous exhibitions and publications. Some of his pieces are part of the Nicolas Laugero Lasserre collection and are on display at the Art42 Urban Art Museum in Paris.
