Hedof 'Wooden Sculpture Set' Available

Artist: Hedof
Title: Wooden Sculpture Set
Medium: Screen Printed Wood on MDF
Size: UNSURE
Edition: 35
Price: €250

 

Hedof is the one-man creative studio of Dutch illustrator Rick Berkelmans, born in Breda, Netherlands. His instantly recognisable language pairs bold, vector clean shapes with weird, wide eyed characters and a candy store palette that nods to ‘90s skate graphics and Memphis design. Trained in illustration and graphic design, Berkelmans began as a graffiti writer, an experience that taught him to read urban surfaces and react fast skills he now deploys on walls from Seoul’s Lotte World Mall to Hong Kong’s LCX, where his 3D noodle bowls and climbable trees turn shopping centres into playgrounds.

Each commission whether a limited beach towel drawn on a flight to Hong Kong becomes a case study in optimistic problem solving. Berkelmans works entirely by hand, sketching in Procreate before translating flat graphics to murals, screen prints or laser-cut plywood reliefs. The absence of front facing faces (he admits that 3D modelling intimidates him) gives his universe a sidelong, voyeuristic charm, while looping patterns of leaves, tennis nets or checkerboard pools create rhythmic calm within saturated colour fields.

Exhibitions at Parees Mural Festival, Playgrounds and Domestika talks cement his reputation as a bridge between street culture and commercial art. Living with a toy collection that rivals his palette, he still draws daily “because it feels like playing,” proof that professionalism and childlike wonder can coexist under one fluorescent, perfectly balanced composition. 

Kalle Hellzen 'Into Light' Print Available

Artist: Kalle Hellzen
Title: Into Light
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 67 x 100 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Price: $554

 

Kalle Hellzén is a Swedish-Finnish multidisciplinary artist who discovered painting only in his forties after a globe-spanning career as a creative director. Trained in design, digital innovation and film. When he finally picked up a brush, he merged that advertising rigour with raw autobiography, producing works he describes as “melancholy dipped in sunshine”. Hellzén’s process is hybrid: he first paints oil or acrylic “Generation 0” canvases solitary figures suspended in bright, empty spaces then feeds these images into generative AI, allowing algorithms to recombine colour fields and body postures into new iterations that still carry his personal palette and themes.

Diagnosed with colour blindness, he treats the limitation as a creative filter, building high-chroma gradients that feel vivid to every viewer. The finished pieces, whether printed on aluminium or repainted by hand, depict anonymous characters caught mid fall, mid thought or mid life, their isolation amplified by candy like pinks and acid greens that suggest both nostalgia and digital overload.

Exhibitions from Amsterdam to Seoul have sold out, while Instagram reels chronicle his iterative workflow traditional stretcher bars beside glowing iPad sketches underscoring his belief that “the future of painting is conversation, not replacement”.

Will Martyr 'All I Think About' Print Available' Print Available

Artist: Will Martyr
Title: All I Think About
Medium: Diamond Dusted Spot Varnished 32 Color Screen Print
Size: 62 x 87.5 cm
Edition: 100
Price: £960

 

 Will Martyr, born 1980 in Eastbourne, UK, paints sun drenched daydreams that feel like screen-savers of memory. After the Slade School of Fine Art he spent a formative year at New York’s Studio School, absorbing Abstract Expressionist scale and urban architectural rhythms before returning to London to complete an MA at the Royal College of Art in 2007. Working in fast-drying acrylic, he masks hard edge colour blocks with frog tape, building up to eight translucent layers until swimming pool turquoises and tennis court lilacs glow with LED intensity.

Martyr calls himself a colourist first: every hue is premixed like printing ink, calibrated to trigger instant nostalgia. Early architectural panels have evolved into circular “tondo” canvases that function like portholes or lockets, framing poolside recliners, alpine ski slopes or empty sun lounges arranged like theatre sets. The human figure often his wife appears serene and unposed, a surrogate for the viewer’s own projections of leisure, love and quiet euphoria.

Exhibitions at Maddox Gallery (London & Gstaad), Unit London and Rarity Gallery have sold out rapidly, while corporate commissions fund continual experimentation; a 2006 print edition for Equity Insurance underwrote his mastery of Coriander Studio’s archival techniques. Public recognition includes the BMW Painting Prize nomination and inclusion in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Currently based in a 1920s propeller factory studio in Deptford, Martyr is preparing new sculptural works and large scale architectural paintings that translate his utopian palettes into three-dimensional space, ensuring the vacation never quite ends.

Takashi Murakami 'Superflat Sunshine A Decade In Bloom' Available

Artist: Takashi Murakami
Title: Superflat Sunshine A Decade In Bloom
Medium: Framed 8 Color Screen Print
Size: 22 x 22 Inches
Edition: 100
Price: $2,800

 

 

Takashi Murakami (b. 1962, Tokyo) is the neon godfather of Superflat, a movement he coined to describe Japan’s legacy of compressed, two dimensional imagery that stretches from Edo woodblocks to anime cels. Armed with a BFA, MFA and PhD in Nihonga (classical Japanese painting) from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts, he rebelled against the medium’s academic gatekeeping by fusing its mineral pigments and goldleaf techniques with otaku subculture, manga speed-lines and kawaii cuteness. His breakout creature, Mr. DOB a Mickey-eared, sharp toothed mascot first appeared in 1993 as a self-portrait critiquing consumerist cloning, and has since mutated across paintings, inflatables and 3 metre fiberglass sculptures that sell for millions.

Operating like a pop-culture Warhol, Murakami founded Kaikai Kiki Co., a Tokyo-New York production house that employs dozens of assistants to churn out psychedelic flower balls, sword wielding anime boys and lasso-spraying lads such as the $15.2 million My Lonesome Cowboy. His 2003 collaboration with Marc Jacobs splashed candy colored monograms onto Louis Vuitton handbags, obliterating the line between boutique and museum, while his cover for Kanye West’s Graduation and direction of the Good Morning anime cemented his role as a cross-disciplinary tastemaker.

Exhibitions at the Palace of Versailles, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo and a 2025 London show where AI helped reconstruct a 1615 folding screen prove his knack for merging past and future. Beneath the rainbow petals lies a darker undertow post-Hiroshima anxiety, sexualised kawaii and the flattening of trauma into merchandise making Murakami both celebratory and cautionary, a merchant of joy who never lets us forget the price tag on escapism.

Lino Lago 'Fake Abstract' Print Available

Artist: Lino Lago
Title: Fake Abstract
Medium: Deckled Varnished Giclee Print
Size: 27 x 23 Inches
Edition: 45
Price: £595

 

Lino Lago (b. 1973, Redondela, Spain) is a Madrid-trained painter who stages elegant collisions between Old-Master finesse and digital-age minimalism. After graduating from the Universidad Complutense, he became fascinated by reports of painting’s “death,” responding with the long-running Fake Abstract series: meticulous oil reproductions of Renaissance and Bourbon portraits that he half-obscures with flat monochrome or gold-leaf swipes, leaving only a sliver of face or lace visible beneath a seemingly Photoshop generated mask. The device questions authenticity, value, and how screens mediate our contact with history. Technical rigor underpins the joke each passage of flesh is modeled with 18th century glazing, while the overlay is sanded to vinyl like smoothness, so brushstroke and pixel coexist on one skin.

Lago’s work has entered public collections including Harvard Business School and the Flint Institute of Arts, and has been shown at ARCO Madrid, Pulse Miami, and in solo exhibitions from New York to Copenhagen. Awards such as the BMW Painting Prize from the Queen of Spain and the Vilnius City Arts Award confirm institutional respect for his conceptual sleight of hand. Recent shows like Multipolar (2025) expand the lexicon, pitting Caravaggio against color field slabs to evoke a fragmented, many-centered cultural world. Living between Madrid and Vilnius, Lago continues to probe how much of the past we actually need to see before we admit the present has already re-written it.

Riikka Sormunen 'Holiday, 2025' Print Release Details

Edition: 20
Price: £450

*available Thursday October 9th, 2025

_____________________

Riikka Sormunen (b. 1987, Helsinki) turns daydreams into jewel toned oil paintings where fashion-editorial poise meets surrealist unease. After a semester of fashion design she pivoted to illustration, building a clientele that ranged from Finnish magazines to Japanese apparel before committing solely to canvas in 2016. Working on unprimed linen, she applies thin, lucent layers of oil so crimsons and viridians bleed like textile dye, then tightens select zones lace cuffs, serpent scales, cat pupils to photographic clarity. The resulting images feel simultaneously vintage and hyper-contemporary: Klimt-like pattern fields float around blank-faced women who grip wilted bouquets or let goldfish dangle from their sleeves, every object posed as if for an unseen camera.

Influences converge in her studio: early Lucian Freud for fleshy tension, Ukiyo-e prints for flattened perspective, and Nordic folklore for latent darkness. Solo exhibitions at Allouche Gallery (LA) and Rhodes Contemporary (London) sold out rapidly, while group stints at Dallas Contemporary and the “Nordic Delights” tour confirmed international appetite. Recent pieces such as Ghost Friend and Cat’s Eye push scale toward life-size, intensifying the tension between decorative beauty and psychological vacancy. Sormunen photographs her own floral still-lifes as source material, then digitally distorts petals into acidic hues no garden could grow, reinforcing the calculated artificiality she calls “soft sensuality under surveillance.” Living back in Helsinki after residencies in Tokyo and Lisbon, she continues to probe how femininity, nature, and consumer imagery can be arranged then eerily silenced inside a single gilded frame.

Ben Johnston 'Good Things Coming' Print Available

Artist: Ben Johnston
Title: Good Things Coming
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 40 x 40 Inches
Edition: 10
Price: $750 CAD

 Ben Johnston is a Toronto based multidisciplinary artist who has turned painted words into three dimensional events. Born in Canada and raised in South Africa, he trained as a graphic designer before committing full-time to muralism; that foundation still drives the meticulous kerning, hand-drawn serifs, and forced-perspective shadows that make his letters appear to levitate off brick, canvas, or polished steel. Using layered acrylics, spray paint, and an airbrush he adopted only recently, Johnston stretches, fractures, and slots language until a simple imperative “RISE,” “ORDER/CHAOS,” “LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE” becomes an optical puzzle that shifts meaning with the viewer’s stance.

Major public pieces include a five-storey mural for Toronto’s Stackt market and the 2019 Muralfest award-winner in Hamilton, while his 2023 sculpture show Wordplay at Taglialatella Gallery translated his typographic vocabulary into rotating aluminum tubes and ambiguous steel glyphs that resolve into text only when circled.

Johnston’s practice is equal parts designer rigor and street-art immediacy: preliminary vector maps are projected at dawn, color-matched to digital swatches, then painted freehand before the city wakes, preserving the spontaneity graffiti demands without sacrificing the polished finish advertising expects. The result is work that functions simultaneously as commercial communication, civic landmark, and fine-art object proof that a single well-built sentence can compete with the visual noise of an entire city block.

Josh Sperling 'Big Picture' Print Available

Artist: Josh Sperling
Title: Big Picture
Medium: Offset Print
Size: 70 x 39 cm
Edition: 100
Price: $200

Josh Sperling, born 1984 in Oneonta, New York, makes shaped canvases vibrate like neon topographies. Drawing first on screen, he feeds vector curves into a CNC router, laminating wafer thin plywood into undulating strata that echo 1960s minimalism and the Memphis Group’s playful geometry. Raw Belgian linen is then stretched over these skeletal hills, locked with staples, and saturated in custom mixed acrylic over 1,200 proprietary colors mixed in his Ithaca barn studio where ten assistants sand, seam, and spray. The resulting objects hover between painting, sculpture, and design: monochrome “Squiggles” bounce light so aggressively they seem to hum; modular “Composites” slot together like psychedelic Tetris, swallowing entire gallery walls in candy apple gradients.

Early rejection shows in skate shops that sold nothing gave way to a 2016 breakthrough at Joshua Liner Gallery, followed by rapid adoption by Emmanuel Perrotin, who now stages Sperling’s exhibitions from New York to Seoul. Public commissions include a rainbow bench for the SCAD Museum and the four-panel, 30 metre long Big Picture at Perrotin Los Angeles, purposely split so viewers register unity before noticing the seams. Influenced by Ellsworth Kelly’s hard-edge planes and Keith Haring’s rhythmic line, Sperling also credits five years as studio assistant to KAWS for demystifying the art market. Up next: limited edition furniture that translates his warped canvas language into functional ash-wood tables, ensuring the loop between utility and pure optical joy keeps spinning.
