Ricardo Gonzalez
(1988 born in Mexico )
Ricardo Gonzalez explores the written word and its variability through his unique method of ink typography and abstraction. Vibrant images highlighted by complex shapes, textures, and colors combine with a visual impact that enriches the words and characterizes his work. Feelings elicit words, experiences influence feelings, feelings in turn elicit words, and words in turn create visions. His work spans the street, murals, canvas, and sculpture, and he has collaborated with many companies including Mercedes-Benz, MTV, Google, and Microsoft. Born and raised in Mexico, he currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
Yoon Hyup
(1982 born in Korea )
Yoon Hyup is an artist from Seoul, Korea, currently based in New York City. . His work captures the sounds and images that abound in the city, such as the movement of people, the noise of cars, music, and skateboarding. He is also heavily influenced by places where he feels the voices and lifestyles of the past, such as frescoes in old temples and paintings on buildings from the past, and uses mainly blue, red, yellow, white, and black, which are known as the traditional Korean colors "obansek" ( and ), which are described as the five directions colors in Japan. The colors are blue, red, yellow, white, and black. . She is an artist who actively seeks opportunities to connect her work with society through gallery exhibitions, mural productions, and collaboration with global companies such as Nike, Facebook, and Universal Music Group.
Yamaguchi, Reki
(Born in 1984 in Japan, ))
Reki Yamaguchi uses a technique he calls "cut and paste" to create visuals that are both chaotic, vivid, and abstract. In "cut and paste," he paints directly on plastic sheets, peels them off after drying, and lays them out again on a different support, creating a three-dimensional collage of brush strokes. In his recent works, he has been exploring the possibilities of painting and its accompanying movement and form by turning accidental brushstrokes into paintings that include sculptural elements. Yamaguchi's work is not contained within the canvas, but is developed in different mediums such as mural painting, skateboarding, and T-shirts, and crosses various cultures regardless of genre. Born and raised in Shibuya, Tokyo, Yamaguchi currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
Kyne
( born 1988 in Japan )
Around 2010, he began working mainly on the streets, using monotone, flat female stickers reminiscent of 80's idol figures. His unique style, a crossover of "street x idol culture" influenced by the 80's comic books and record jackets he grew up with, instantly captivated the hearts of viewers and became the focus of media attention on Instagram, TV, and the Internet. . In recent years, he has been exhibiting his works not only on the streets, but also in many galleries, expanding the scope of his activities. He is based in Hakata, where he was born and raised.
