Checchia Maria / MARIA

She has collaborated on illustration, graphic and design projects, including the graphic novel “Vertigine ed Rizzoli” “I create art about people and their relationships, I’m interested in representing human feelings and exploring different points of view. I especially like to depict strong and independant women” AliCè’s work is usually carried out in colour spray paint and acrylics, or for illustration inks on paper and photoshop.

LILIWENN
Liliwenn originates from the fringes of the Atlantic Ocean, a place that can often seem much like the edge of the world. Her work is defined by an exploration of paradoxes and contrasts which is at once torturous and utopian, wild and serene, definitely resilient. She has worked with artists from a number of different countries. Music is a fundamental part of her life, and she also frequently works with musicians like Mattic (Wax Tailor crew & The Others), Berry Weight and ASM, who she collaborated with on their latest video. In 2009, she was spotted by a brand of street wear clothing based in Bristol, and worked with them on the launch of a limited edition clothing line that included the painting “The Little Girl”. In 2010, her local council called upon her to design a huge mural to be painted across an entire apartment block. Then, several months later she set up the “Crimes of Minds” project, aiming to inform, develop and push the boundaries of street art. Eager for discovering and sharing, and has taken part in a number of underground and street art events, such as Mutate Britain (London), Meeting of Styles (Buenos Aires), Upfest (Bristol) and Vitryjam (Paris). She has also showcased her work in both collective and individual exhibitions in England, France, Spain and Italia, most notably the Palais d’Iéna in Paris. Her work has been published in a number of magazines and websites across many different countries, and has also appearedin several books. Her goal : breaking down borders and boundaries, emphasise freedom and expressing visceral emotion with a pinch of dreamlike poetry.

 SUPERVAN
Vanessa, Super Van or simply Van. I’m bit of everything. I’ve studied graphic design, advertising and illustration. Eternally unsatisfied and a perfectionist, illustration currently takes up most of my time. My drawings are mostly characters that have forced my hand to give them life. They are hundreds already and are all around, screaming, dancing, flying or trying to pay the taxes. Outside 2D life, I keep my eyes constantly open, looking at images, conversations, particularities, which are then poured into my work, as haiku poems that tell us in half words and half tones how people really are. I also find inspiration in my african roots (born in Cape Town, South Africa), comic books, tattoos and urban art. I try to give my illustrations a strong personality and vibrant colours. They have a distinctive and unique style always with a dash of spicy humour and sensuality. Feel free to say hi, feedback is always welcome!

BTOY
btoy lives in barcelona. one of her interests is to use what might be called a “mur trouvé” with its irregular surfaces, adding remains of pollution and ads, where doors and windows boarded become appropriate frameworks for self-expression in her work. walls sought and found, not so random, they become an ideal medium to disseminate the work. their characters stop and dig into his eyes making us reflect on the passage of time. People of difficult adjustment to a stable society. becoming childhood dreams disappointments. a world of illusion. different times and places, but ultimately the same show, which runs in front and behind the mask. her work is characterized by intertextuality. heavy load nostalgic portraits are swayed by forceful brushstrokes and color. pallets colors challenge to those described in black and white photographs. btoy presented in her works the precepts of postmodernism, eclectic, ephemeral, the result of the loss of social cohesion. she has exhibited at galleries in barcelona, london paris and los angeles; and she has participated in many live shows as “The Cans Festival”, in london.
