Martin Whatson is a Norwegian painter, printmaker and muralist born in Oslo in 1984 who has forged a signature dialogue between order and chaos. While studying graphic design at Westerdals School of Communication he discovered stencil art through the early 2000s wave of European street art, but unlike many peers he refused to abandon his graffiti roots. His breakthrough aesthetic pairs meticulous monochrome stencils of figures, cityscapes or endangered animals with explosive streaks of neon tags, drips and calligraphic flourishes that he paints freehand straight over the crisp imagery. The result feels like a frozen tug-of-war: the clean up crew versus the writer, the gallery versus the wall, captured in one glossy moment.

Working without projections, Whatson cuts intricate multi-layer stencils by hand, sprays them in desaturated greys, then attacks the surface with buckets of candy pink, cyan and yellow, letting paint run, drip and overlap until the original image peers through a storm of colour. Murals in Wynwood, Stavanger, Shoreditch and lower Manhattan carry this conversation to public space, while studio canvases and editioned prints on aluminium bring the same energy indoors. Recent series insert children pulling back curtains to reveal tagged walls or power wash workers mid spray, turning the eternal cat-and-mouse of street art into gentle visual theatre.

Exhibitions at Harman Projects New York, Vertical Gallery Chicago and Nuart Festival have sold out rapidly, and his 2023 publication InsideOutsider traces the evolution from teenage subway tagger to internationally collected fine artist. Whether painting a ten storey endangered sea turtle in Miami or a handfinished screen print in his Oslo studio, Whatson keeps the process quick and instinctive, a nod to the cold, dark Nordic nights that taught him to work fast and bold.

Luke Martin is a Maryland based illustrator and screen printer who has become a rising star in the rock-poster world. Born in 1996 on the rural Eastern Shore he jokes his hometown had “one gas station and two stoplights” he spent study halls drawing retro futuristic cities in notebook margins instead of attending class. That self-taught draftsmanship led him to Towson University in 2015, where a single screen printing course hijacked his attention; he dropped out a year later, bought a press and began pulling all nighters in a Baltimore basement under the alias Suburban Avenger Studios.

Martin’s process marries analog precision with digital punch. He scrapes meticulous pen and ink drawings on clayboard, scans them, then colors in Photoshop, building surreal, narrative packed tableaux that ripple like sound waves made visible. Psychedelic landscapes melt into mythic creatures, while bold palettes, electric blues, ember reds and sunset gradients pulse with the energy of a front row riff. The result feels like a lucid dream set to arena volume.

Since 2017 he has created official posters for Phish, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails and Dead & Company, often selling out within minutes. Each design functions as a set-list in pigment: hidden Easter eggs reference song lyrics, tour inside jokes or venue history, rewarding fans who scrutinize every tendril of linework. In 2024 he published Nothing New, a 472 page retrospective that sold out on pre-order, cementing his reputation as a new generation godfather of gig art. Despite the hype, Martin still hand pulls limited editions in his studio, drinks too much coffee and posts progress clips to Instagram, proving that obsessive craft and DIY spirit can share the same stage.

Vinnie Hager 'Impromptu' Prints Available

Artist: Vinnie Hager
Title: Impromptu
Medium: Hand Embellished 1 Color Screen Print
Size: 18 x 24 Inches
Edition: 30 (UNIQUE)
Price: $75

 

Vinnie Hager is a Baltimore-born multidisciplinary artist who has turned compulsive doodling into a market-moving visual language. Raised in Millersville, Maryland, he spent solitary childhood afternoons filling notebooks with symbols eyes, envelopes, stars, question marks that still populate his work today. Encouraged by early $25 sales at school, he refined the alphabet while studying at Anne Arundel Community College and later at MICA, where animation and illustration courses fed his fascination with pattern.

Working without preliminary sketches, Hager lays down looping chains of glyphs in Posca pens, Procreate or paint pens, letting each shape dictate the next until dense mandala-like fields emerge. The method is meditative yet urgent; a single canvas or vintage Champion hoodie can be completed in one hypnotic four-hour session. Colour palettes shift between soft pastels and high-visibility neons, but the line remains consistently clean, recalling both hieroglyphics and circuit boards.

During the pandemic he pioneered Instagram “scavenger drops,” leaving free art around Baltimore, then watching followers sprint to claim them an act that converted online buzz into real-world community. The same energy fuels limited capsule releases: thrifted furniture, cut-and-sewn blankets, ski masks and Nike AF1s slathered with his code sell out in minutes, echoing early Supreme hype without the corporate machine.

Hager’s recent Diary NFT project translates seven years of grief into 1,000 unique digital squares, each paired with a physical print, merging Web3 innovation with tangible craft. Whether painting a six-storey Harbour East mural or grip-tape for local skaters, he treats every surface as a page in an ever-expanding sketchbook, proving that sincerity, speed and a sharp eye can transform simple marks into cultural currency.

Artist Statement

I always feel a certain resistance when asked to write or speak about my work. Painting, for me, begins where language ends. Words are linear - paintings are not. I’m interested in many things: sacred geometry, mysticism, consciousness, natural history, art history. Some are mysterious by nature, others more structured and concrete. But even with the more rational subjects, I’m not drawn to explaining them in my work. To analyze them would be to miss the point. What I’m really trying to paint is what can’t be said - the felt experience of something just beyond the edge of articulation. Not a thing to define, but something to feel.

I believe imagination has been undervalued in favor of intellectual interpretation. In the modern world, people are quick to search for verbal meaning, for an articulated answer, for a neat idea to attach to a piece of art. But that kind of meaning is not my goal. Mystery is. I want my paintings to carry unexplained secrets. “Secret” and “scared" share the same etymological root. I’m trying to paint what is sacred. I want to build a quiet bridge between this world and the other one, a glimpse of the invisible merging with the visible. In making the work for Eye Am, I did my best to let go of conscious restraints. I tried not to paint what I thought I should paint. I tried to make art only for myself. Paradoxically, I believe that’s the most honest way to reach anyone else. Each painting usually begins with something real and personal. Often it's a fragment drawn from my extensive collection of imagery, books, ephemera, toys, statues, icons. I’m an iconophile at heart.

I believe in the power of the image to speak directly to the soul, bypassing the verbal mind. There’s a passage I love from Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now: “All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.” I’ve found this to be true. Real creativity doesn’t come from thinking harder; it comes from stopping thought long enough for something deeper to emerge. The mind can then shape what arises, but it can’t summon it. In that stillness, something ancient and essential can appear. That is the source I try to paint from - not for certainty, but for wonder.

James Jean is a Taiwanese-American visual artist celebrated for intricate, dreamlike works that merge Art Nouveau elegance with contemporary surrealism. Born in Taiwan in 1979 and raised in New Jersey, he trained at New York’s School of Visual Arts, graduating in 2001. He rocketed to prominence as a comic-book cover illustrator for DC/Vertigo’s Fables and The Umbrella Academy, winning six Eisner Awards for his detailed, symbolic imagery.

Jean’s style is instantly recognizable: fluid, curvilinear forms intertwine with botanical motifs, anatomical fragments and mythic creatures, all rendered in fine, jewel-like lines. Early influences include Chinese silk scrolls, Japanese woodblock prints, Alphonse Mucha and Hokusai, yet he filters these sources through a modern lens, creating kaleidoscopic worlds that feel both ancient and futuristic. After a decade in commercial illustration for clients such as Prada, Time, Rolling Stone, My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park, he pivoted to fine art in 2008, producing large-scale acrylic paintings and digital prints.

Working from a Frank Gehry-designed Los Angeles studio, he layers translucent washes over meticulous ink drawing, allowing pigment to pool and bleed, forming accidental galaxies that echo natural decay. This tension between precision and entropy mirrors his thematic interest in memory, myth and the collapse of historical time. Recent exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Tokyo have sold out, while fashion collaborations with Prada and a BTS-themed installation at HYBE Insight Museum extend his reach into global pop culture.

Whether crafting a monumental mural or a tiny ballpoint sketch, Jean seeks what he calls “the hallucinatory forms” buried in the mind, inviting viewers to lose themselves in ornate, endlessly unfolding tableaux where past and present, beauty and unease, dissolve into luminous color.

Matt Gondek is an American painter, muralist and digital sculptor who has built a global following by exploding the icons of childhood. Born in Pittsburgh in 1982, he grew up on comic books, cartoons and the raw energy of nineties punk, influences that still pulse through his bright, anarchic palettes. After studying film and working as a freelance illustrator for the music industry, Gondek opened a boutique store in his hometown, but retail quickly gave way to fine art when he discovered that painting offered a louder voice.

He calls his style “Deconstructive Pop Art”: clean vector lines, fluorescent acrylics and bold black contours that fracture familiar characters Mickey Mouse, Homer Simpson, Donald Duck into shards, drips and melting grins. Each piece is executed entirely by hand, without stencils or projections, allowing spontaneous brushwork to echo the looseness of street art while maintaining the polish of gallery painting. Recent series such as Fight Club pair spiked baseball bats with cartoon heads, questioning who holds power in contemporary culture.

Gondek’s studio practice spans canvas, sculpture and digital media. He is currently completing a 104 panel polyptych titled Total Recall, in which every small painting interlocks to form one continuous image, a nod to his love of epic narratives and video-game level design. Murals rise in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris, while celebrity collectors including J Balvin and The Weeknd champion his work.

Beyond the easel, Gondek hosts the Clean Break podcast, discussing art, business and the punk ethos that drives him to tear down idols while celebrating their colour. Whether casting a bronze sculpture or releasing an NFT, he approaches each project with the same credo: create loudly, question everything, and leave the audience smiling through the wreckage.

____________________

Damien Hirst is a British artist whose name has become shorthand for audacious contemporary art. Born in Bristol in 1965, he grew up in Leeds and later studied at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he emerged as the leading figure of the Young British Artists movement in the late 1980s. Hirst first garnered attention with his installation “A Thousand Years,” featuring a rotting cow’s head and a life cycle of flies, setting the tone for a career that would continually probe the boundaries between life, death, beauty and commerce.

His most iconic works include the spot paintings, endless grids of brightly colored dots that question mechanical reproduction and artistic authorship, and the formaldehyde preserved sharks, sheep and calves that confront viewers with mortality in a clinical gallery setting. These pieces, often produced with the help of a large studio team, sparked debates about originality, the role of the artist and the commodification of art itself.

Hirst’s 2008 auction, “Beautiful Inside My Head Forever,” bypassed galleries and sold directly to the public, raising over £111 million and breaking records for a single-artist sale. Beyond the market, he has explored themes of belief, medicine and spirituality through installations like the diamond encrusted skull “For the Love of God,” and the monumental Venice exhibition “Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable,” which presented fabricated artifacts as if salvaged from an ancient shipwreck.

Despite critical divides, Hirst remains a cultural force, expanding into restaurants, NFTs and philanthropy while continuing to examine what it means to create, collect and confront the inevitable end.

Shawn Huckins is a New Hampshire born painter who cracks open American mythmaking with a wink. After earning a BA in Studio Art from Keene State College and the University of Wollongong in 2006, he began meticulously recreating eighteenth-century portraits, then slipping twenty-first-century text beneath powdered wigs: LOL, BRB, tweets and emoji float across colonial faces like digital ectoplasm. The collision is both joke and inquiry, asking whether emojis erode the eloquence that once fueled revolution.

Working without Photoshop, Huckins projects archival images onto linen, masks off crisp lettering with tape, and builds luminous skin tones through weeks of glazing, ensuring every serif and beauty mark is hand-painted. Recent series conceal sitters behind vibrant quilts or Roman busts shattered on the floor, suggesting history is a comforting blanket and a crumbling weight we simultaneously hide behind and drag forward.

Exhibitions at Richard Heller Gallery, Duran Mashaal Montréal and K Contemporary Denver regularly sell out, while museums such as Boston MFA and Tucson Museum of Art have added his canvases to permanent collections. Grants from the Haven Foundation and Colorado Creative Industries support his practice, yet he still posts studio jokes to Instagram, believing humor is the fastest bridge between art and audience. Whether depicting George Washington with a notification bubble or draping founding fathers in psychedelic fabric, Huckins insists that laughter can open a back door to critical thought, inviting viewers to chuckle first and question second how a nation so eloquent at birth now speaks in disappearing stories.
