________________

Claudia Comte, born 1983 in Grancy, Switzerland, is a Basel based artist who turns forests, marble and cartoons into rhythmic, rule-based environments. Trained at ECAL and with a teaching MA, she builds each piece according to a self devised modular system so every curve, zig-zag or “HAHAHA” relates to the next, whether it is a five-storey stair mural, a six-ton Carrara marble bunny or an underwater cactus reef off Jamaica. Chainsaw carved wood, 3-D scans and ai generated lava flows sit side-by-side in her practice, underscoring a fascination with how the hand, machine and ecosystem co-author form. Wall paintings begin as architectural vectors, then swell into optical waves that echo sonar graphs or branching roots painted with sequoia dust left over from her own sculptures, binding process to image. Though the work tackles climate grief burnt “HAHAHA” spruce trunks, pipelines, plastic strewn beaches Comte cloaks the warning in Tintin-bright colours, cartoon outlines or carnival games, convinced humour can keep viewers inside the gallery longer than fear. Performers, DJs and even motocross riders are invited to activate her spaces, turning exhibitions into living scores where marble columns might be read aloud from Neruda or tapped like xylophones. Whether carving minimal benches from volcanic rock or releasing helium “HAHA” balloons that slowly deflate over a photojournalism show, she insists that beauty, play and ecological anxiety are not opposites but interlocking modules in the same fragile pattern.

Joe Ledbetter 'Classic Vinyl' Figure Sale

Artist: Joe Ledbetter
Title: Various Classic Vinyl Figures
Medium: Vinyl
Size: Various
Edition: N/A
Prices: Various

 

Joe Ledbetter is an American artist and designer celebrated for his distinctive blend of pop surrealism, urban vinyl toys, and bold graphic illustrations. Born in 1977 and raised in southern California, he studied sociology at Humboldt State University, a background that fuels his satirical take on consumer culture and human behavior. His creative career began in the early 2000s when he started designing silkscreen posters for local bands, quickly gaining attention for his crisp lines, vibrant color palettes, and playful yet subversive characters.

Ledbetter’s visual language is instantly recognizable: cute, round-eyed creatures caught in absurd or mischievous situations, often reflecting deeper social commentary beneath their whimsical surfaces. His iconic character, the Sour Mouse, a grumpy yet endearing rodent, has become a staple of his work and a fan favorite. Over the years, he has expanded his universe to include a wide range of creatures, from angry rain clouds to robotic bunnies, each with its own personality and story.

In 2005, Ledbetter transitioned into the designer toy scene with his first vinyl figure, Sour Mouse, produced by Critterbox. The figure’s success opened doors to collaborations with major brands like Disney, Nike, and Kidrobot. His toys are known for their high-quality production, limited editions, and clever packaging that often includes humorous backstories or comic strips.

Beyond toys, Ledbetter has exhibited his paintings and illustrations in galleries worldwide, including Los Angeles, New York, London, and Tokyo. His work has been featured in numerous publications and documentaries, solidifying his place in the contemporary art scene. Whether working on a large-scale mural, a limited-edition print, or a collectible toy, Joe Ledbetter continues to challenge conventions and delight audiences with his unique blend of humor, critique, and craftsmanship.

Serio Press is a Los Angeles print studio built on ink, daylight and democratic ideals. Opened in 2012 by master printer Jorge López, the shop occupies a former textile mill near the L.A. River, where thirty foot skylights flood custom built work tables with even, north facing light. Specialising in water based screen printing, the team collaborates with artists, museums and social justice organisations to translate paintings, digital collages and photographs into limited edition prints that retain the hand of the original while gaining the tactile snap of pulled ink.

The process begins with high-resolution scanning or direct photography on site. Separations are then output on waterproof film, handcut or digitally printed, and stretched onto aluminium frames tensioned to 25 newtons tight enough to hold fine halftone dots yet flexible for large solids. Using only water-based pigments, printers lay down translucent glazes, metallic overlays or split fountain rainbows, building colour fields that can exceed twenty layers without muddying. Paper stocks range from Somerset velvet to recycled kraft, each chosen to complement the image surface and the artist’s intent.

Beyond edition work, Serio Press runs community workshops, teaching local high school students how to burn screens, mix pigments and edition their own posters. Recent projects include a 5,000 run voter registration broadside for Rock the Vote, a suite of ocean coloured prints with painter Hayley Barker and a monumental twelve color portrait of labor leader Dolores Huerta for the Smithsonian.

Every print leaves the shop stamped with the Serio chop two coyotes circling a saguaro symbolising collaboration, resilience and the belief that art, like ink, should travel far beyond the studio wall.

Roxier 'Kissing Lips' Print Available

Artist: Roxier
Title: Kissing Lips
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A2) 42 x 59.4 cm
Edition: 100
Prices: $200

 

Roxier is the collaborative studio name of Dutch painters Ronald Hunter and Femke Veenstra, a duo who fuse abstract expressionism with contemporary design to create vibrant, layered artworks. Ronald Hunter, born in 1973, brings a background in graphic design and advertising, while Femke Veenstra, born in 1986, contributes a fine arts perspective rooted in color theory and textile arts. Together, they merge their strengths to produce dynamic compositions that celebrate color, texture, and movement.

Working primarily with acrylics and mixed media on canvas, the duo builds their pieces through a process of layering, sanding, and repainting, creating depth and history within each work. Their compositions often feature bold color blocks, sweeping gestural marks, and subtle geometric elements, resulting in a balance between chaos and control. Texture plays a key role, with thick impasto areas contrasting against smooth, almost translucent washes, inviting viewers to explore the surface up close.

Roxier’s work is influenced by mid-century modern art, Scandinavian design, and urban street art, reflecting a contemporary aesthetic that appeals to both collectors and interior designers. Their pieces are often large-scale, designed to make a statement in modern spaces, and are finished with a glossy resin or matte varnish that enhances the colour and texture.

Exhibited internationally and available through select galleries and online platforms, Roxier’s artworks have found homes in private and corporate collections worldwide. Whether working on a single canvas or a diptych, Hunter and Veenstra approach each piece collaboratively, sometimes painting simultaneously, other times passing the work back and forth, allowing intuition and dialogue to guide the final outcome. Through Roxier, they celebrate the joy of creation and the endless possibilities of abstract art.

PDot 'C3PO' Ghost Available

Artist: PDot
Title: C3PO Ghost
Medium: Framed Foil on Foam Board
Size: 40 x 40 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Prices: €200

 

PDot is a British mixed-media artist who turns urban debris into luminous contemporary relics. Born in 1981 and raised in the post-industrial landscape of northern England, he grew up skateboarding past crumbling mills and collecting rusted bottle tops, an archive of discarded metal that now forms the backbone of his practice. Working from a former textile warehouse in Leeds, he layers aerosol, screen-print and resin over sheets of reclaimed steel, tin and lead, building surfaces that shimmer like oil slicks caught in sunrise.

His imagery merges hard-edge abstraction with fragments of pop culture: torn sweet wrappers, vintage toy adverts and cryptic slogans float amid geometric shards of chrome and cobalt. The process is both additive and reductive; he sands, scratches and torches the metal to expose raw oxidisation, then seals the decay under high-gloss resin so rust becomes jewel-like. Each piece is titled after forgotten brands or playground rhymes, nudging viewers toward half-remembered childhoods while confronting the throwaway culture that fuels climate anxiety.

Commercial clients including Dr. Martens and Red Bull have commissioned large-scale walls, yet PDot balances paid work with grassroots projects, teaching local teenagers to turn scrap into statement pieces for community gardens. Recent exhibitions at Sunny Bank Mills and The Art House Wakefield sold out, with collectors praising the way his work “makes entropy beautiful.”

Whether welding a three-metre shard of factory roof into a wall relief or hand-painting a limited vinyl toy, PDot approaches every surface with the same goal: transform what society discards into objects worth preservation, proving that beauty can bloom anywhere corrosion and creativity collide.

SKIO 'Mondrian's Castle' Print Available

Artist: SKIO
Title: Mondrian's Castle
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 50 x 70 cm
Edition: 30
Prices: €140

 

SKIO is a contemporary street artist and muralist whose vivid, large-scale works transform urban walls into celebrations of colour and movement. Born in the early 1990s and raised in a coastal town in southern England, he grew up surrounded by sea air, skate culture and the ever-changing light of the shoreline, influences that now pulse through every spray-painted surface. Working almost exclusively with aerosol, he builds luminous compositions that merge graffiti handstyle with abstract expressionism, creating pieces that feel both spontaneous and meticulously balanced.

His process begins with loose charcoal arcs that map the wall’s energy, then layers of high-pigment spray paint are pushed and pulled with caps ranging from fine line to soft feather, allowing drips, overspray and sudden colour shifts to remain as evidence of motion. SKIO’s palette leans toward hot corals, turquoise, sunflower and metallic silvers, hues that shimmer against raw brick and concrete, suggesting sunrise over water or the shimmer of fish scales caught in sunlight. Figures rarely appear; instead, swirling ribbons, fractured letterforms and botanical silhouettes drift across the surface, inviting viewers to project their own narratives into the abstract field.

Recent commissions have brightened university campuses, coastal promenades and inner-city basketball courts, while festival appearances at Upfest and Sand, Sea and Spray have drawn crowds who watch him complete a six-metre wall in a single, continuous session. Despite growing demand, SKIO continues to paint without stencils or projections, insisting that the slight wobble of a freehand line keeps the work human.

When he is not on a lift or scaffold, he teaches community workshops, encouraging teenagers to treat spray cans as tools of optimism rather than vandalism. Through every burst of colour, SKIO offers a simple promise: look up, breathe deep, and remember that even the greyest city wall can become a window into joy.

David Welker 'Mind City' Print Release Details

Title: Mind City
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 24 x 18 Inches
Edition: 100
Prices: $200

 

*available at 1pm EST on Wednesday November 5th, 2025

_________________ 

David Welker is an American painter, muralist, and printmaker born in 1964 in Poughkeepsie, New York. He studied painting and illustration at Syracuse University and has built a career blending fine-art technique with rock-and-roll energy. His elaborate gig posters for bands such as Phish, Pearl Jam, The Black Keys, and Primus have become collector items, while his 1993 cover for Phish’s album Rift was listed among the ten best album covers of all time by Relix magazine.

Welker’s visual language fuses Depression-era surrealism, underground comix, West-Coast surf culture, and early 20th-century Ashcan School realism. Working almost entirely by hand, he layers ink, graphite, and acrylic to create dense narratives packed with symbolic figures, distorted architecture, and his own ornate lettering that marries 19th-century sign typography with modern graffiti flair. Each piece begins as loose thumbnail sketches; colour separations are drawn manually rather than computer-generated, ensuring every print bears the subtle irregularities of craft.

Beyond concert art, Welker has spent decades on private mural commissions, once specializing in Chinoiserie wall paintings for luxury residences, an experience he credits with sharpening his technical range while teaching him that legacy matters more than lavish settings. Now focused on gallery work, he continues to explore subconscious storytelling, producing large canvases where urban realism dissolves into dreamlike fantasy and where beauty is, in his words, “beautiful when it’s based in honest emotion and conveyed with appropriate discipline”. Whether painting a rooftop mural in New York or pulling a limited screen print, Welker invites viewers to lose themselves in intricate worlds that pulse with music, memory, and the restless spirit of American popular culture.

________________ 

Frank Shepard Fairey, born 15 February 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, is the creative force behind the global OBEY movement. While studying illustration at Rhode Island School of Design he launched the 1989 sticker campaign André the Giant Has a Posse, transforming a grainy newspaper photo of the wrestler into a stark black-and-white icon accompanied only by the command “OBEY”. The project was never about the man; it was an experiment in viral psychology, testing how a meaningless image could propagate through skate parks, city walls and college dorms once it looked official and appeared everywhere. Fairey’s answer came quickly: the sticker multiplied, becoming one of the most ubiquitous street images of the 1990s and laying the groundwork for his clothing label OBEY Clothing (est. 2001) and design agency Studio Number One (2003).

Fairey’s style marries the visual punch of propaganda posters with the immediacy of DIY print culture. Hand-cut stencils, bold blocks of red, white and black, and crisp vector lines deliver messages that are easy to read from a moving bus yet rich in layered meaning. He cites Soviet constructivism, 1980s skateboard graphics and punk flyers as equal influences, and his philosophy is simple: “question everything”. That ethos turned political in 2008 when he created the HOPE portrait of then-senator Barack Obama, a screen-print that fused his signature palette with a forward-gazing gaze and the single word “HOPE”. The image became the unofficial emblem of Obama’s presidential campaign, praised by The New Yorker as the most efficacious American political illustration since Uncle Sam Wants You.

Since then Fairey has focused on issues rather than personalities, tackling climate change, campaign-finance reform, gun violence and human rights through posters, murals and limited-edition prints. His process remains hands-on: he cuts stencils by hand, pulls his own screens and pastes works on walls from Los Angeles to Lisbon, insisting that reproducibility keeps art democratic. Institutions including MoMA, the Smithsonian and London’s V&A have acquired his prints, yet he continues to paste illegally, proving that museum validation has not dulled his subversive edge.

Today Fairey lives and works in Los Angeles, producing monumental murals, album covers and clothing graphics that continue to blur the boundary between fine art, commerce and activism. Whether painting a five-storey portrait of a voting rights activist or releasing a run of anti-NRA stickers, he treats every surface as public space for civic dialogue, demonstrating that ink on paper can still shift consciousness and, occasionally, history itself.

Alfredo Gonzalez, who signs his work Dofre, is an Oxnard-based contemporary artist represented by Sugar Press Art. Born with graffiti roots, he merges traditional oil painting with bold, deconstructed portraiture to create what critics call “disrupted realism”. Using brushes, palette knives and aerosol, he builds fractured faces where eyes, mouths and hands float across raw linen, suggesting emotional dislocation rather than physical likeness.

His palette balances classical ochres with neon sprays, allowing thick impasto to collide with transparent glazes so the surface flickers between old master depth and street art immediacy. Recent series such as Aún Así layer metallic gold over asphalt black, then scratch away sections to reveal under-painting, a technique that mirrors the way memory erodes and reforms. Each limited edition is hand embellished, ensuring no two prints are identical.

Gonzalez exhibits widely, from Grand Bohemian Gallery group shows to online drops that sell out within hours. Through every ruptured portrait he offers a single message: identity is never fixed, but always in flux, painted and repainted by experience, culture and the city that raised him.
