Arlo Sinclair 'Pacman: Pills & Ghosts' Print Available

Artist: Arlo Sinclair
Title: Pacman: Pills & Ghosts
Medium: Framed Hand Painted Real Floppy Disk
Size: 29 x 29 x 5 cm
Edition: 20
Prices: $425

  

Arlo Sinclair (b. 1980, South Africa) is a London-based painter who swapped code for canvas, transforming a childhood shaped by economic hardship and 1980s arcade addiction into wry, pixel-perfect oil paintings that mourn and celebrate obsolete tech. Self-taught after a career in computer programming, he treats magneto-digital storage floppy disks, VHS sleeves, early game cartridges as modern relics, rendering their scuffs, labels and corporate typography with Old-Master precision and a satirist’s grin. Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Top Gun, JAWS, Space Invaders, Pokemon and more have all been covered by his floppy disk design style.
Each composition blends nostalgia with critique: stripes of corrupted data become abstract color fields, while brand logos float like devotional icons, inviting viewers to confess their geek nostalgia and question planned obsolescence. Sculptural detours see Sinclair cast vintage Hot Wheels in bronze or embed circuit boards in resin, turning playroom trophies into luxury artifacts that taunt the art market’s own appetite for retro chic.
Since debuting in 2016 he has sold out editions at Woolff Gallery, Guy Hepner, Toxic Arts, and Artsy, while critics hail him as “the IT department’s Van Dyck” for the way he marries impasto paint with binary exactitude. Whether depicting a cracked AOL CD or a CRT screen mid-explosion, Sinclair’s work insists that the digital ghosts we archive in attics deserve the same reverence society reserves for marble busts proof that memory, like hardware, is always one click away from crashing.

___________________________

SKIO, born Nicolas Scauri in Nice in 1993, is a French contemporary artist whose career began with street murals rooted in rebellious letterforms. Over time, his visual language evolved into a figurative, romantic style deeply influenced by pop culture, cinema, and television. Trained as a designer, SKIO draws upon both his academic background and urban experiences to craft a distinctive body of work that merges graphic precision with human emotion. His practice often combines geometric abstraction with realistic portraiture, producing striking contrasts between form and subject.

One of SKIO’s most recognizable motifs is the recurring concealment of his figures’ eyes, a symbolic gesture that questions identity, perception, and the complexity of contemporary urban life. His compositions reference Bauhaus aesthetics, surrealism, and modernist geometry, while remaining grounded in the immediacy of street art. Working seamlessly across mediums including aerosol spray paint, brushwork, and digital illustration. SKIO translates his ideas into canvases, murals, prints, and large-scale installations.

His artworks have been showcased internationally in cities such as Paris, London, Mexico City, and Shanghai, reflecting his ability to resonate across cultures and contexts. SKIO’s collaboration with platforms like Diggers Factory and GrandHouse London highlights his multidisciplinary approach, bridging the worlds of fine art, design, and urban creativity. Whether displayed in galleries, printed editions, or monumental public murals, his work explores the dialogue between minimalism and complexity, realism and abstraction.

By weaving together geometry, anatomy, and emotion, SKIO has established himself as a significant voice in contemporary art, redefining how street-born aesthetics can engage global audiences.

Artist: Bordalo II
Title: Tiny Lemur In A Box
Medium: Paint On Assembled Waste (In A Box)
Size: 36 x 44.5 cm x 9.5 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Prices: £6,950

PASSWORD: TRASH

This intimate unique piece titled ‘Tiny Lemur in a box’ by Bordalo II is a striking example of the artist’s ability to transform discarded materials into powerful environmental commentary. Built on a compact scale, it depicts the expressive face of a lemur, assembled from a mix of found objects, textures, and painted detail. The animal’s wide, luminous eyes draw the viewer in, creating an immediate emotional connection while also carrying an undertone of urgency. The juxtaposition of soft, fur-like elements with harsher industrial fragments emphasises the fragile coexistence between nature and human consumption. The piece resonates with Bordalo II’s signature themes, sustainability, waste, and habitat destruction, inviting reflection on the impact of our one use culture. ‘Tiny Lemur in a box’ is a poignant reminder that even in small form, art can spark large conversations.
