Cat Phillipps + Peter Kennard 'Photo Op' Print Available

Artists: Cat Phillipps + Peter Kennard
Title: Photo Op
Medium: Photo Lithographic Print
Size: 49 x 49 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Price: £75 

 

Cat Phillipps is a British artist and printmaker based in London who uses bold graphics and stark contrast to question power, memory and national myth. Born in the Midlands and trained at the Royal College of Art, she works primarily in screen print, combining hand drawn imagery with found photographs and archival material to build layered compositions that feel both urgent and timeless. Her palette is restricted to black, white and flashes of red, a deliberate choice that amplifies the emotional charge of each piece while echoing the visual language of propaganda posters and newsprint.
Phillipps first gained notice for Proud Haddock, a series that reimagines historical British symbols as fragile, crumbling icons, suggesting that imperial glory is built on shifting sand. She cuts stencils directly from old maps, military ledgers and children’s storybooks, then overlaps them until portraits of generals dissolve into silhouettes of factory workers, creating visual collisions that ask who is remembered and who is erased. The process is physical: ink is pushed through mesh by hand, registration is intentionally misaligned, and tears in the paper are left visible, evidence that history itself is imperfect and contested.
Recent exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum, Peckham Platform and group shows across Europe have drawn critical acclaim, while her prints are held in the collections of the British Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Alongside studio work she runs community workshops, teaching teenagers to cut their own stencils and question the monuments they walk past every day.
Whether producing a pocket sized zine or a three metre wall piece, Phillipps approaches every surface with the same intent: make the viewer stop, look again, and confront the stories that nations tell about themselves.
Peter Kennard is a British artist and educator born in London in 1949, widely regarded as one of the most influential political artists of his generation. He studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and the Royal College of Art, where he began developing a practice that fuses photomontage, painting, and digital media to interrogate power, war, and social injustice. Rejecting traditional notions of beauty, Kennard uses found images, newspaper photographs, and official documents, tearing and recombining them to create jarring visual critiques that disrupt the narratives of mass media.
His breakthrough series Haywain with Cruise Missiles (1981) reimagines Constable’s pastoral painting as a nuclear battlefield, replacing the rural idyll with a convoy of warheads, a visual that became iconic in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament movement. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Kennard produced searing photomontages addressing the Falklands War, the Gulf War, and the arms trade, often collaborating with activists and writers to distribute his work on posters, postcards, and banners. His technique is raw and immediate: images are torn, burned, and re-photographed, then overlaid with aggressive brushwork, creating compositions that feel both urgent and timeless.
In recent years, Kennard has embraced digital tools while retaining his signature fragmentation, producing works that confront climate collapse, surveillance capitalism, and the refugee crisis. Exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum, Tate Modern, and the Victoria and Albert Museum have cemented his reputation, yet he continues to prioritize accessibility, posting new works online and distributing prints at protests. Whether producing a postcard or a museum installation, Kennard’s mission remains constant: to make visible the violence and inequality that official images conceal, and to empower viewers to question the world they inhabit.

Pat Cantin 'Patente a Grosses' Print Available

Artist: Pat Cantin
Title: Patente a Grosses
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 20 x 30 Inches
Edition: 10
Price: $420 CAD

 

Pat Cantin is a Canadian artist who paints bold geometric abstractions that pulse with rhythmic colour and tactile depth. Born in Montreal and trained in design, he spent years directing commercial graphics before turning full time to fine art, a shift that allows him to merge disciplined composition with intuitive gesture. Working from a bright studio in Victoriaville, Quebec, he builds each canvas through patient layering, pouring, scraping and glazing until smooth gradients collide with crisp angles, creating a sense of movement frozen mid beat.
His palette leans toward saturated oranges, electric blues and sunlit yellows, hues that echo the neon signage of nighttime city drives and the warm glow of analog television test patterns. Cantin avoids brushes, preferring squeegees, palette knives and taped edges to push acrylic across the surface, a method that leaves subtle ridges and glossy pools, evidence of physical negotiation between artist and material. Recent series explore the idea of sonic visualization, translating bass lines and drum breaks into interlocking shapes that seem to reverberate off the canvas.
Exhibitions at Galerie Bernard in Montreal, Art Basel Miami and group shows across Canada have sold out, while corporate collections including Cirque du Soleil and Ubisoft have acquired large scale pieces that energise open office spaces. Despite growing demand, Cantin keeps production intimate, hand finishing every work and releasing small editions of archival prints that carry the same luminous depth as the originals.
Whether rendering a three metre wall commission or a pocket sized study, he seeks the fragile moment when colour, rhythm and memory lock into perfect sync, reminding viewers that abstraction can feel as immediate as a favourite song heard on a late night highway.

Tizlu 'Pop Up' Print Available

Artist: Tizlu
Title: Pop Up
Medium: Acrylic, Aerosol, Collage + Marker on Canvas
Size: 15.9 x 30 x 15.9 cm
Edition: 18
Prices: $12,000

  

Tizlu is the professional alias of Tiziano Lucchese, a German-Italian street artist and muralist born in Bolzano in 1983 and now based in London. Raised bilingually in the Alps, he studied Broadcasting and Film in the Netherlands before committing full-time to visual art, bringing a cinematic sense of pacing and colour to every wall he paints. Working exclusively with acrylic and aerosol, he fuses photorealistic portraiture with abstract colour storms: faces emerge from rippling gradients, then fracture into geometric shards and sweeping calligraphic strokes, creating freeze frame impressions of urban energy. Metallic silvers, traffic-light greens and deep magentas lock together under bold black outlines, while negative space is treated as an active element that propels the composition forward.
Tizlu paints without stencils, mapping loose charcoal arcs directly onto brick or canvas before building layers of transparent glaze and opaque spray. This instinctive method allows drips and overspray to remain as evidence of motion, echoing the artist’s belief that perfection is less interesting than the moment of creation. He balances paid work with grassroots projects, teaching aerosol techniques to local teenagers and donating prints to charity auctions.
Recent exhibitions at Kunstbunker Nuremberg and group shows with The London Police collective have sold out, while public murals in Barcelona, Copenhagen and his adoptive London continue to attract photographers and skaters alike. Whether printing a pocket-sized zine or painting a ten-metre wall, Tiziano Lucchese approaches every surface with the same goal: spread colour, spark motion and remind viewers that creativity, like language, is most powerful when it crosses borders and connects cultures.

Jeff Koons 'Lobster' Sculpture

Artist: Jeff Koons
Title: Lobster
Medium: Porcelain Sculpture
Size: 26 x 85 x 59 cm
Edition: 99
Prices: €85,000

   

Jeff Koons is an American artist born in Pennsylvania in 1955 who has spent four decades transforming everyday objects into monumental declarations of beauty and desire. After studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Maryland Institute College of Art, he moved to New York and worked on Wall Street while inventing works that celebrated mass production. His practice embraces stainless steel sculptures that mirror viewers and their surroundings, turning banal items into radiant icons.
Koons gained international notice with the Rabbit, a sleek metallic hare that distilled childhood memory into flawless form. He continued to mine popular culture, inflating pool toys and cartoon figures to architectural scale, insisting that pleasure and contemplation can coexist. The lobster, rendered in vivid red and stretching several meters, exemplifies his approach: the crustacean, familiar from seafood restaurants and seaside postcards, becomes an object of wonder through exacting fabrication and placement. Its shell gleams under gallery lights, inviting thoughts about appetite, luxury and the moment when nourishment turns into spectacle.
Exhibitions at the Whitney Museum, the Centre Pompidou and the Guggenheim Bilbao have traced his evolution from ready made displays to intricate Baroque inspired compositions. Critics debate the line between sincerity and irony in his output, yet audiences continue to flock, drawn by the generosity of color, scale and reflection. Whether he is planting a topiary puppy outside a museum or suspending a basketball in distilled water, Koons invites viewers to reconsider what deserves attention and to find joy in the objects that surround daily life.

Yusuke Hanai 'Cooperation' Sculpture Application Ending Soon

Artist: Yusuke Hanai
Title: Cooperation
Medium: Bronze Sculpture
Size: 15.9 x 30 x 15.9 cm
Edition: 18
Prices: $12,000

  

Yusuke Hanai is a Japanese artist born in Kanagawa in 1978 whose friendly figures and wavy landscapes channel 1960s California surf culture. At seventeen he discovered the psychedelic concert posters of Rick Griffin and felt an instant pull toward bold outlines, sun baked palettes and storytelling line work. That passion led him to San Francisco in 2003 to study illustration at the Academy of Art, where nights spent sketching buskers and oceanfront drifters shaped his compassionate cast of characters.
Hanai returned to Japan with a signature style that mixes ukiyo e simplicity with skateboard graphics. His recurring everyman, a round nosed wanderer with floppy hair, appears in wood panel paintings, large wall murals and limited silkscreens, often shown sitting quietly with coffee, casting a fishing line into impossible waves, or simply gazing at wide open skies. Flat color blocks and rhythmic contour lines give the scenes a mellow pulse, while subtle shadows hint at inner solitude, balancing cheerfulness with contemplation.
Exhibitions in Tokyo, New York, London and São Paulo have carried his vision far beyond coastal Japan, and collaborations with Uniqlo, Greenroom Festival and Vans have placed his art on shirts, sneakers and hotel walls, proving that handmade warmth can thrive in commercial contexts. Whether he is carving a small wooden fish, printing a three meter woodcut, or painting a live mural while surfers wait for waves, Hanai invites viewers to slow down, breathe salty air and remember that quiet moments hold their own quiet power.

Shepard Fairey Obey 'Uplift Justice' Print Release Details

Artist: Shepard Fairey/Obey
Title: Uplift Justice
Medium: Multi Color Screen Print
Size: 24 x 36 Inches
Edition: 550
Price: $95

*available at 1pm EST on Thursday November 14th, 2025

_______________

“Uplift Justice” is based on a Mural I painted in Philadelphia in the fall of 2025. I wanted to create an image in Philly, a city often considered the birthplace of American democracy, that connects the ideals of the past with the questions we face today. Nearly 250 years after the founding of this country, we have an opportunity to ask ourselves what the next 250 years should look like a continuation of where we’re headed, or maybe a reset.

I chose a woman as the central figure because I see women as natural peacemakers, builders of family and community the qualities we need most right now. My hope is that this art invites people to reflect on justice, history, and the values that guide us today.
-Shepard

Tavar Zawacki 'Connected Studies' Available

Artist: Tavar Zawacki
Title: Connected Studies
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 32 x 42 cm Each
Edition: UNIQUE
Prices: $1,000 Each

 

Tavar Zawacki is a Berlin based abstract artist who spent twenty years under the moniker ABOVE. Born in California in 1981, he left the United States at nineteen and painted his way through more than forty countries, placing thousands of upward pointing arrows on walls, trains and rooftops to encourage viewers to rise above limitations. Each arrow was cut from flexible stencil board, sprayed in a single vivid tone and often accompanied by short texts that addressed homelessness, economic inequality or political oppression, turning simple street markings into social messages. After two decades of nomadic creation, Zawacki decided in 2017 to step out from behind the pseudonym and focus on studio work, explaining that anonymity had become a mask he no longer needed. He kept his love of hard edges and optical movement, but translated it onto wood panels, aluminium and resin, layering laser cut shapes, transparent acrylic washes and glossy resin coats that make colours float above the surface. Recent series such as Connected and Metamorphosis explore how positive and negative space can merge so that one plus one equals three, a concept he illustrates through interlocking arches, shifting chevrons and concentric portals that appear to vibrate when seen from different angles. Alongside canvas pieces he continues to paint large outdoor murals, recently completing his biggest work to date on a silo in Buffalo, where twenty seven hues of arrow burst outward like a frozen firework. Whether working on the street or in the gallery, Zawacki remains committed to clarity of form, crisp lines and the belief that art should propel the eye, and the mind, ever upward.
