Blok One is a contemporary British artist who keeps his legal name out of public view. All published interviews, gallery bios, and agency listings refer to him only by the studio tag “Blok One,” so his birth name remains unpublished at present. What is on record is a clear visual signature: large, explosive paintings and murals that splice hard-edge geometry with freestyle graffiti marks. Spray paint, household emulsion, ripped paper, and thick resin are layered on reclaimed boards or directly on brick, producing glossy, scarred surfaces that feel like city walls frozen mid-party. Color palettes jump from warning orange and taxi-cab yellow to bruised purples, often arranged in concentric squares or fractured letterforms that suggest collapsing signage.

The artist cites early 1980s New York subway writing, 1990s Bristol scene stencils, and Bauhaus color theory as equal influences, a mash-up he calls “organised chaos.” Process shots reveal preliminary vector sketches on a tablet, but every finished piece is completed by hand, sometimes augmented with hand-cut mirror tiles that catch passing headlights or gallery spotlights.

Blok One’s output swings between studio canvases sold through online drops and major street commissions. Recent walls in Shoreditch, Digbeth, and Barcelona’s Poblenou district present optically dizzy portals—rings within rings that seem to recede into the masonry. Public reaction tends to split between viewers who photograph themselves inside the illusion and taggers who leave throw-ups across the lower edges, a dialogue the artist welcomes as part of urban living.

Workshops, limited-print releases, and collaborative apparel lines help fund larger independent murals, keeping the practice fluid and self-directed. For now, the figure behind the name stays intentionally in shadow, letting the bold geometries and color bursts speak for themselves.

Dan May 'The Gift Of Love' Project Starts Today

Hello friends,

In 2016, I came up with an idea, a concept I called The Daily Creature Project. The plan was simple: to create an original drawing every day for an entire year and share it with my fans and collectors. It became, in many ways, an open sketchbook to the world a glimpse into my imagination, process, and daily creative life.

It turned out to be one of the most transformative creative experiences of my life, so much so that I was inspired to keep going. I continued through 2019 and into 2020. The encouragement and enthusiasm I felt from my collectors, and from the many new fans who joined me along the way, made the journey all the more meaningful.

To those of you who stayed with me and supported me throughout those four years, thank you. I poured so much of myself into each new piece, and I remain deeply grateful for your love, support, and enthusiasm for my art. Now I have a new project that I am excited to share with you...

Starting today, I will be embarking on a new journey, this time with a new approach. About eighteen months ago, I met David Corbett during a phone call while he was recovering from cancer surgery. We were both at turning points in our lives, looking to the universe for a sign of what might come next.

After seeing one of my paintings on social media, David was so moved that he reached out. We became friends, and now we are collaborators. David is an award-winning writer and animation producer, and together our plan is to release one painting per day, each one accompanied by his words.

I will complete one original painting each day, inspired by a couplet from David’s poem. Thirty paintings and thirty verses in thirty days. As many of you know, my work often explores themes of hope, love, reflection, and the quiet wonder of life within the natural world. This is who I am as an artist, and we both believe there can never be too much love in the world.

At the end of one month, just days before Thanksgiving, this journey will conclude. The result will be a fully realized story, a collection featuring my paintings and David’s words. We hope you will join us over the next thirty days as we celebrate The Gift of Love in pictures and in words.

Beginning today, October 28th, and each day for the next 30 days, I will be offering a one-of-a-kind opportunity for you to not only share in this journey, but also to own a piece of it. Each daily painting from this series will be available in my shop at 12 PM EST for $300, on that day only. As many of you know, this is far less than I typically offer my originals for, so consider it a Gift of Love my heartfelt thanks to you for your continued kindness and support over the years. It means more to me than you will ever know.

Each painting will be 9" x 12", acrylic on wood panel, and will come with a printed verse from that day, a certificate of authenticity, and a Gentle Creatures sticker. Additionally, each piece will be signed and numbered according to its day in the series. Please join us as we step into the world of a Gentle Creature, as he shares his quiet wisdom about love with us all.

Warmly, Dan & David

David Shrigley is a British artist who turns deadpan humor into sharp social commentary through crude drawings, sculptures, and films. Born in Macclesfield in 1968, he studied environmental art at Glasgow School of Art and stayed in the city that shaped his wry outlook. Using cheap pens and scavenged paper, he sketches wonky dogs, anxious vegetables, and half finished self portraits that speak in blocky capital letters: “I AM PRETTY SURE SOMETHING IS WRONG.” The childlike line belies surgical timing; a single misplaced word can flip laughter into dread. Shrigley’s world is one where balloons beg not to be inflated and gravestones read “DEAD DEAD DEAD,” yet empathy glows beneath the absurdity. He extends the joke into three dimensions: a giant bronze thumbs up titled “Really Good” stood in Trafalgar Square, while taxidermy dogs clutch placards demanding “DEATH TO AMERICA.” These works mock authority while exposing human fragility.

Nominated for the 2013 Turner Prize, he filled the gallery with animatronic figures performing futile tasks, their mechanical clatter echoing everyday despair. Commercial success followed, yet he still mails fake flyers and leaves cryptic notes in library books, insisting art should interrupt routine like a sudden sneeze. Recent projects include directing the dark animated film “The Spine of Night,” designing a line of nonsensical greeting cards, and recording spoken word albums delivered in his trademark monotone. Through it all Shrigley remains a philosophical prankster, proving that a badly drawn cat can ask the biggest questions about meaning, mortality, and why we keep trying.

______________________

Guy Denning is a British painter who channels raw human emotion onto weathered surfaces, creating urgent portraits that feel like pages torn from a private journal. Born in North Somerset in 1965, he is self taught, developing his craft through obsessive study of Rembrandt, Goya, and Bacon while working daylight jobs as a carpenter and illustrator. He gained underground notice in the early 2000s by plastering Bristol streets with stark mixed media faces, each sheet scorched, torn, and stained to suggest lives battered by politics, love, and time. Denning now lives in rural Finistère, Brittany, where the Atlantic wind seems to blow through his studio. Using reclaimed wood, tar, ash, bitumen, oil stick, and aerosol, he builds dense surfaces that hover between drawing and sculpture. Figures emerge from this debris: eyes burn with protest, mouths open in silent howls, hands clutch books or weapons.Color arrives in bruised reds or sulphur flashes, yet the dominant tone is charcoal black, evoking both cave painting and newspaper print.

The artist cites the Arab Spring, refugee crises, and local fishermen’s strikes as catalysts, but insists the work is not reportage; it is an attempt to mirror shared vulnerability. Solo exhibitions in Rome, New York, and London regularly sell out, while public murals in Naples and Los Angeles transform crumbling walls into pleas for empathy. Denning also posts daily sketches online, offering them freely for non commercial use, believing art must circulate like breath. Whether rendering a single protester or a writhing crowd, he seeks the moment when private grief becomes common language, reminding viewers that history is written first on the human face.

Beth Xia 'Sheep' Print Available

Artist: Beth Xia
Title: Sheep
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A2) 42 x 59.4 cm
Edition: OPEN
Price: $129

 

Beth Xia is a Chinese American artist who paints luminous dreamscapes where memory and myth dissolve into color. Born in Guangzhou in 1993, she grew up among incense filled temples and neon markets, absorbing the contrast of ancient ritual and restless commerce. At seventeen she moved to California, earning a BFA from ArtCenter College of Design and later an MFA at Columbia University. These crossings feed her work: ink traditions meet acrylic haze, eastern motifs float within western abstraction, creating atmospheres that feel both intimate and vast. Xia begins each canvas with automatic graphite marks, letting hand movement summon half remembered stories. She then layers transparent washes, gold leaf, and embroidered thread until figures emerge like spirits caught between worlds. Recurrent symbols include carp swimming through clouds, lotus lanterns adrift on midnight tides, and solitary girls whose eyes reflect entire cities. The palette shifts from jade and vermilion to electric violet, suggesting twilight moments when reality loosens.

Her 2022 solo show at Kasmin Gallery presented monumental scrolls where visitors could walk alongside continuous narratives of migration and return. Xia describes the process as breathing with the painting, allowing error and repair to remain visible, scars that honor impermanence. Recent murals in Shenzhen and Los Angeles transform public walls into shimmering portals, inviting commuters to pause within daydreams. Commercial collaborations with fashion houses translate her textures onto silk scarves worn by performers on world tours. Awards include the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant and Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia. Whether working on linen twenty feet wide or rice paper the size of a postcard, she seeks the fragile edge where personal history dissolves into collective myth, reminding viewers that identity is not a fixed shore but a tide forever arriving and departing.

Olga Lomaka 'Teasing Not Pleasing' (Yellow) Print Available

Artist: Olga Lomaka
Title: Teasing Not Pleasing (Yellow)
Medium: Varnished 4 Color Screen Print
Size: 21.6 x 29.5 Inches
Edition: 10
Price: $545

 

Olga Lomaka is a British contemporary artist, curator, and founder of Lomaka Gallery, celebrated for her vibrant pop-art fusion that merges consumerist icons with surreal symbolism. Born in Krasnodar, Russia, in 1982, she moved to Moscow as a child and later studied in the United States, completing painting courses at Loyola University Chicago and earning a business degree from George Mason University. A decade later she relocated to London, graduating with a BA in Painting from Camberwell College of Arts and attending Central Saint Martins and Sotheby’s Institute to deepen her art-world fluency.

Lomaka’s signature style teases the boundary between concrete and abstract, familiar and unknown. She hijacks recognizable imagery luxury logos, celebrity faces, brand mascots and reconfigures them through carving, aerography, and mixed media to expose hidden desires and social contradictions. Her glossy palettes and polished finishes evoke advertising slickness, yet subtle distortions and double meanings invite viewers to question consumerist promises. Portraits of Jude Law, Karl Lagerfeld, and Naomi Campbell become mirrors of collective obsession, while her monumental pieces for the Queen’s 90th birthday or Frieze London embed national symbols within playful psychedelic frames.

Beyond canvas, Lomaka experiments with sculpture, installation, and fashion, launching limited apparel printed with her Mind Parasites series and hosting the television program Art & Fashion. Her work is held by the Erarta Museum, M17 Contemporary Art Center, and private foundations including Pierre Cardin’s, and she exhibits regularly at the Venice Biennale, Basel Miami, and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. In 2017 she opened Lomaka Gallery in Fitzrovia, championing emerging voices who defy categorization. Awards such as Best Contemporary Artist of the Year from Phillips Auction House recognize her restless innovation. Whether rendering screaming aliens or meditating figures, Lomaka positions pop culture as a portal to explore identity, desire, and the collective unconscious, proving that glittering surfaces can illuminate profound human truths.

Christoph Niemann 'Flowers I' Print Available

Artist: Christoph Niemann
Title: Flowers I
Medium: 4 Color Screen Print
Size: 70 x 100 cm
Edition: 60
Price: $950

 

Christoph Niemann is a German illustrator who turns everyday life into witty visual poetry. Born in Waiblingen in 1970, he studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart before moving to New York City in 1997. His clean, economical lines and bold blocks of color have appeared on covers of The New Yorker, TIME, and National Geographic, as well as in children’s books, apps, and Instagram animations that reach millions. Niemann is famous for transforming humble objects into surprising metaphors: a banana becomes a bicycle, coffee stains become city skylines, and a single green stripe across a white page becomes the Brooklyn Bridge viewed from a speeding cab.

His weekly column for The New York Times Sunday Review, “Abstract Sunday,” distills complex political and cultural topics into playful yet incisive images that invite readers to look twice and think again. In 2013 he launched the interactive picture book Petting Zoo, where stretching, spinning, and tapping digital creatures create unexpected reactions, proving that humor and technology can coexist with warmth. He later expanded that concept into Chomp, an app that lets kids place their own mouths and eyes onto animated sandwiches, clocks, and vacuum cleaners. When not drawing, Niemann speaks at conferences about creativity, hosts the podcast Abstract, and documents his travel impressions in sketchbooks that mix watercolor, collage, and handwritten notes. Whether addressing climate change or the joy of Sunday coffee, his art reminds us that curiosity plus simplicity can spark revelation, and that even the most ordinary moment holds a story waiting to be seen.

Add Fuel 'Aftermath' Print Available

Artist: Add Fuel
Title: Aftermath
Medium: Hand Pulled 4 Color Screen Print
Size: 50 x 50 cm
Edition: 50
Price: €330

 

Portuguese artist Add Fuel is Diogo Machado, born in Cascais in 1980. After earning a graphic design degree from IADE in Lisbon and working in studios across Portugal and Germany, he committed himself fully to art in 2007. He first called his project Add Fuel to the Fire, building a playful universe of eccentric monsters drawn from video games, comics, sci fi and urban culture. A year later he shortened the name and shifted focus toward the hypnotic geometry of azulejo tiles, the tin glazed ceramic panels that cloak Portugal in blue and white rhythm. By merging this national heritage with street art energy, he creates works that feel both ancient and immediate.

Each piece begins as a meticulous sketch that is translated into hand painted tiles, screen prints or large stencils for murals. Machado layers symmetrical patterns, trompe l’oeil tricks and bursts of flat color so that traditional motifs fracture into contemporary movement. The effect is a visual drumbeat that invites viewers to lose themselves in detail and then step back to see a cohesive, glowing whole. His walls rise in cities from Miami and Los Angeles to Stavanger, Paris, Macau and Fall River, each site specific project honoring local history while inserting his signature tile language. Recent works such as On the Rise in West Palm Beach weave railroad heritage and coastal waves into patterned grandeur, while Bloom pairs lotus and clematis flowers as metaphors for resilience. Whether rendered on ceramic, canvas or concrete, Add Fuel’s art celebrates the dialogue between heritage and modernity, proving that tradition can still surprise.

Joshua Budich 'Cowboy Bebop' Print Available

Artist: Joshua Budich
Title: Cowboy Bebop
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 24 x 36 Inches
Edition: 100
Price: $75

 Joshua Budich is an American painter who has built a devoted following by reimagining pop culture icons with classical reverence. Born in 1982 and raised in Baltimore, he grew up on a steady diet of comic books, Saturday morning cartoons, and blockbuster films, absorbing the bold color and heroic poses that would later define his style. After studying illustration at the Maryland Institute College of Art, he began creating meticulously detailed portraits of characters such as Batman, Princess Leia, and Marty McFly, treating each figure with the same dignity usually reserved for religious saints or monarchs. Working primarily in acrylic on wood panel, Budich builds luminous skin tones and rich fabric textures, then frames his subjects within ornate gold borders reminiscent of Renaissance altarpieces.

The result is a playful yet sincere collision of high and low art that invites viewers to consider why certain stories and characters lodge themselves so deeply in collective memory. Limited edition screen prints of his paintings routinely sell out within minutes, and his solo exhibitions in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York draw crowds who wait in line for a chance to purchase original works. Beyond gallery walls, Budich collaborates with studios and licensors, creating officially licensed posters for properties including Star Wars, Marvel, and Stranger Things, always infusing commercial assignments with his distinctive warmth and craftsmanship. Whether depicting a childhood hero or an original character, every piece is an act of gratitude, a heartfelt thank you to the narratives that shaped him and continue to unite audiences across generations.
