____________________________

Drew Struzan (born March 18, 1947, Oregon City) is the quiet king of movie imagery: his brush gave faces to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, E.T., Harry Potter, Blade Runner, The Thing, Hook and more than 150 other campaigns, earning him the unofficial title of “the illustrator Spielberg always calls.” Raised in poverty, he sold sketches to eat, studied at Art Center College of Design, and began by airbrushing album sleeves Alice Cooper’s Welcome to My Nightmare among them before Charles White III handed him the Star Wars re-release assignment that ignited Hollywood’s love affair with his luminous, hyper-detailed style.

Working in acrylic and colored pencil on gessoed board, Struzan layers transparent glazes until heroes glow with an almost back-lit humanity; subtle expressions, swirling smoke, and impossible starfields are rendered with the patience of an Old Master yet read instantly from across a lobby. When studios pivoted to photo-based posters in the 1990s, his canvases became coveted relics, sought by directors like Zemeckis, del Toro and Lucas, who insisted on painted one-sheets even as digital art took over.

Retired officially in 2015 after The Force Awakens, he still paints personal pieces, signs prints at Comic-Cons, and collaborates with his wife Dylan on book projects such as A Bloody Business. His legacy is everywhere: the determined tilt of Marty McFly’s silhouette, the torch-lit silhouette of Indy, the wand-raised promise of Harry all distilled into single, hopeful images that taught generations how adventure should feel.

Mike Mitchell (born 1970, Oklahoma City) is an American illustrator and painter whose instantly recognizable brand of candy-colored Pop Surrealism has turned him into a social-media phenomenon and gallery favorite. After studying at CalArts he worked in animation and advertising, but burst onto the art scene with a 2008 portrait of then candidate Barack Obama surrounded by a halo of retro comicbook speed lines; the image went viral, was featured on cable news, and taught him that “likes” could propel a career as surely as critics.

Working digitally and in acrylic on panel, Mitchell renders pop-culture icons Batman, Conan O’Brien, David Bowie, Spock in flat, high-key palettes reminiscent of 1980s lunchboxes, then amplifies their gaze to heroic scale so they seem both worshipped and trapped by their own fame. Limited edition screen-prints sell out in minutes, while museum retrospectives at the Norman Rockwell Museum and M Modern Gallery have validated the work beyond Instagram.

Mitchell’s grassroots #TeamCoco campaign for Conan O’Brien in 2010 proved that meme culture and fine-art printmaking can coexist profitably, and his recent Just Like Us series imagines exhausted superheroes slumped on subway seats, reminding viewers that gods are mortal too. He lives and paints in Los Angeles, continuing to blur the line between fan art and collectible contemporary artifact.

Micosch Holland 'USEP/Syndicate/Luftnummer' Print Available

Artist: Micosch Holland
Title: USEP/Syndicate/Luftnummer
Medium: 12 Different Wood Inlays
Size: 24 x 32 Inches
Edition: OPEN
Price: $167

German artist Micosch Holland, born 1968 in Mönchengladbach, resurrects the anarchic spirit of Dada through razor sharp mixed media collage. After studying at the Academie Beeldende Kunsten Maastricht, he settled in Schondorf am Ammersee, where vintage paper, found typography, and digital fragments are sliced, layered, and re-welded into compositions that channel Schwitters, Hoch, and Rauschenberg while critiquing twenty first century excess.

Works such as Bank (Zürich) juxtapose sprinting soldiers with corporate logos, exposing the lethal romance of money and war; other pieces remix Bauhaus geometry with surrealist body parts, yielding gritty new myths for an age of information overload. Recognition arrived via the 2014 Kids of Dada Art Prize, inclusion in the Bavarian State Art Collection, and exhibitions from Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog to London’s Hoxton Gallery. Holland insists every scrap retains its history: a 1930s bond certificate, a torn East German stamp, or a fragment of his own award winning graphic design work can become the pivot that tilts a piece from aesthetic play to political provocation. Whether wheat-pasted in alleyways or framed in white cubes, his restless montages insist that collage remains the perfect mirror for fractured times, endlessly reassembling yesterday’s debris into tomorrow’s cautionary visions.

PichiAvo is the shared signature of Spanish street-art duo Juan Antonio Sánchez (Pichi, b. 1977) and Álvaro Hernández (Avo, b. 1985), lifelong friends from Valencia who merged childhood nicknames into one brand in 2007. Trained in Fine Art and Design, they fuse flamboyant graffiti lettering with the sculptural grandeur of Greco-Roman gods, painting marble-white deities that appear to burst through raw brick or swirling technicolor tags.

Their hybrid “urban mythology” adorns colossal walls worldwide Houston Bowery Wall in New York, a 26-metre Fallas monument in Valencia’s main square, and the second-largest mural on record in Porto while studio canvases and fractured-plaster reliefs like the Diaspasis series extend the dialogue between antiquity and contemporary culture. Jewel-tone aerosol gradients halo pristine Perseus, or Bacchus figures, reminding viewers that classical sculpture was once vividly polychrome. Joint exhibitions (In Gods We Trust, London, 2017; Three Graces, Montréal, 2023) and the Renegades sculpture trilogy at the Hellenic Museum, Melbourne, underscore their mission to legitimize street art by marrying its immediacy with the timeless gravitas of myth, creating a single, boundary defying visual language that rewrites both art-history books and city surfaces.

Tracey Emin "Teacup, Pancake" Cards Available

Artist: Tracey Emin
Title: Teacup, Pancake
Medium: 10 Gift Cards
Size: 15 x 15 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: £7

Tracey Emin, born in Croydon in 1963 and raised in Margate, is Britain’s most celebrated confessional artist, turning trauma into raw, urgent art across neon, paint, film, embroidery, and bronze. After abortive teenage years, she earned an MA from the Royal College of Art, joining the 1990s Young British Artists with works like the appliquéd tent Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 and the notorious Turner-nominated installation My Bed, which displayed stained sheets, vodka bottles, and cigarette butts from a suicidal breakdown, collapsing private despair into public spectacle. Scrawled love-letters in light You Forgot to Kiss My Soul and fragile monoprints of her own body extend the diary-like candor, merging feminist honesty with expressionist line.

Emin represented Britain at the 2007 Venice Biennale, became Royal Academician and Professor of Drawing, and was made a Dame in 2024. Major bronzes now stand outside the Oslo Munch Museum and London’s St Pancras station, transforming intimate gestures into civic monuments. Returning to Margate, she funds TKE Studios for emerging artists, ensuring the cycle of revelation continues.

___________________________

Mark Ryden, born January 20, 1963, in Medford, Oregon, is a seminal figure in the Pop Surrealism movement, often hailed as its godfather. After earning a BFA from Art Center College of Design in 1987, he spent a decade as a commercial artist, designing iconic album covers for Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

His 1998 solo debut, The Meat Show, launched a fine-art career famed for eerie, meticulous paintings that fuse Old Master technique with cartoon cuteness, Victorian kitsch, and spiritual symbols. Wide-eyed girls, skeletons, and slabs of meat recur beneath candy-colored glazes, inviting viewers into a dreamy, unsettling realm where innocence and decay coexist. Major retrospectives include Wondertoonel (2004) and Cámara de las Maravillas (2016), and in 2017 he designed sets and costumes for the American Ballet Theatre’s Whipped Cream. Ryden lives in Portland, Oregon, continuing to blur the boundaries between high art and pop culture.

__________________________ 

Yoko Ono, born 1933 in Tokyo, is a conceptual artist, musician, and peace activist whose quiet instructions have echoed loudly across avant garde art and pop culture for six decades. Trained in philosophy and music, she broke into New York’s early '60s scene with Instruction Paintings texts that asked viewers to "light a match and watch till it goes out" and Cut Piece, a 1964 performance where audience members snipped away her clothes, exposing vulnerability and power.

Her 1966 London show introduced her to John Lennon; their collaborations Bed-Ins, War Is Over! billboards married Fluxus wit to mass media reach, turning honeymoon into protest and pop songs into manifestos. Ono’s solo recordings pushed boundaries of voice and noise: Fly (1971) layers primal screams over proto-disco grooves, influencing punk and new wave feminists.

Dismissed by critics as “the woman who broke up the Beatles,” she persisted, amassing a discography of 20 studio albums, Grammy nominated dance remixes, and 18 Billboard No. 1 hits. Visual work evolved into site-specific Wish Trees, mirrored Sky installations, and the 2022 Imagine tower in Berlin, inviting public participation as both medium and message.

Honoured with Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion (2009), Ono continues to tweet daily haiku like aphorisms to millions. At 91 she remains the consummate catalyst: whispering imperatives Breathe, Dream, Remember that turn spectators into co-authors of art, love and revolution.

____________________________

David Welker is a New York-based painter and illustrator celebrated for densely layered, narrative rich artwork that fuses Depression era surrealism, underground comix, surf culture and Ash-School realism into a single dreamlike vision. Born in Poughkeepsie in 1964, he studied at Syracuse University before building a gallery portfolio of large scale paintings, but his career pivoted decisively after catching Phish at Boston’s Paradise Club in 1989. A fan letter led to his 1993 oil-on-paper cover for the band’s album Rift, later voted one of the ten greatest album sleeves of all time by Relix

.

The collaboration opened the flood-gates to rock-poster commissions for Pearl Jam, The Black Keys, Primus, Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan. Welker’s silk-screened gig prints hand lettered, packed with coded symbolism and pulsing colour became instant sellouts, traded feverishly on collector forums and selling out in minutes through Brooklyn’s Bottleneck Gallery, his primary print outlet.

From 2015 he shifted focus back to galleries, staging the 70-piece retrospective Subconscious Narrative at Hoerle-Guggenheim, Chelsea, and selling out booths at Art Basel, Spoke Art and Hashimoto Contemporary’s Art on Paper fair. Recent canvases still feature the same intricate linework and urban fantasy scenarios, but scale has grown; cityscapes melt into biomorphic mountains while tiny figures negotiate labyrinths of memory, music and politics.

Whether rendering a 50 inch phantasmagoric mural or a palm sized concert handbill, Welker treats every surface as a stage for his ongoing visual opera one where graffiti lettering, Rococo clouds and comic grotesques harmonise to remind viewers that reality is just another narrative waiting to be redrawn.
