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.

Emilio Garcia is a Spanish sculptor and painter born in Tarragona in 1981. Raised between the coastal town of El Vendrell and the city of Barcelona, he graduated in graphic design from Escola d’Art i Disseny de Tarragona and cut his creative teeth in cartoon animation studios along the Catalan coast. In 2008 he abandoned digital media to craft tactile objects, founding Secret Lapo Laboratories as a studio where pop culture, designer toys and neuroscience could collide in bronze, resin and vivid colour.

His breakout work is the Jumping Brain, a frog like brain that vaults across walls and pedestals. Conceived as commentary on reckless ideas that leap over barriers, the piece earned first prize at the Plastic and Plush Toy Awards in 2008 and sold out in every colourway, propelling Garcia onto the international art circuit. He has since produced an extended family of cerebral characters: Skull Brain, Sponge Brain and Brain Heart merge grey matter with skeletons, household sponges and arterial blood, turning the organ of thought into a playful avatar for identity, emotion and mortality.

Garcia’s sculptures begin as hand-sculpted maquettes, are cast in bronze or resin, and are finished with automotive lacquers that make synapses shimmer like candy. Large scale versions have appeared at SCOPE Miami, Swab Barcelona and Art Fair Tokyo, while collaborations with Disney, Chanel and Mark Ryden place his work at the intersection of high fashion and street culture. Publications such as Juxtapoz and Clutter have chronicled his rise, and his pieces are held in collections ranging from the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Québec to private galleries across Asia, Europe and the Americas. By transforming the brain into a charismatic protagonist, Emilio Garcia invites viewers to celebrate the jump of an idea and to recognise that every thought, no matter how wild, carries the spark of a new world.

Marq Spusta is an American artist born in 1977 who grew up in rural Wisconsin and earned a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Wisconsin. Stout before settling in California. He is best known for wildly colorful, intricately detailed concert posters and fine-art screen-prints that merge visionary landscapes with whimsical characters reminiscent of Dr. Seuss and Jim Henson.

His early gig-poster work for bands such as Widespread Panic, Phish, Tom Petty and the Rolling Stones quickly made him a mainstay of the rock-poster community, while his sell-out solo shows at Spoke Art, Bottleneck Gallery, Gabba Gallery and Decadent Art Gallery have pushed his imagery into the contemporary art market. Working primarily in acrylic and ink, Spusta builds layers of translucent pigment and metallic overlays until trees shimmer and creatures appear to glow from within, a technique he honed during years of hand-pulled screen-printing.

Recent projects include a mini-documentary shot at Further Frames in Denver, limited resin sculptures and large canvas paintings exhibited in Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco. Whether designing a festival poster or a gallery painting, Spusta approaches each piece as a portal to an enchanted ecosystem, inviting viewers to step inside radiant forests where music, memory and imagination echo in every leaf.

__________________________ 

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.

Imbue 'Always The Real Thing' (Cola Fade) Sculpture Available

Artist: Imbue
Title: Always The Real Thing (Cola Fade)
Medium: Resin Sculpture
Size: 6 x 12.2 x 5 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: £50

Imbue is a UK-based contemporary artist known for provocative artworks that fuse pop culture, consumer branding, and social critique. Often compared to Banksy and other subversive street artists, Imbue’s work challenges viewers to reconsider the systems and symbols that shape modern life. His art frequently manipulates iconic imagery; religious symbols, cartoon characters, corporate logos to spark dialogue around capitalism, faith, and the blurred line between art and advertising.

Emerging from the street art scene in Brighton, Imbue has expanded his practice to include prints, sculptures, and conceptual objects that push boundaries of both legality and taste. Works like his “Holy Coke” bottles glass containers combining sacred and consumerist references have become emblematic of his irreverent, thought-provoking style.

Imbue’s projects often sell out quickly online, creating cult-like anticipation for each release. His limited-edition prints and objects circulate widely among collectors who are drawn to his bold, controversial approach. While rooted in street-level interventions, his reach extends into galleries and global exhibitions, where his pieces resonate with audiences questioning consumer culture.

By confronting familiar symbols with biting humor and critique, Imbue has established himself as one of the more recognized independent voices in contemporary street and urban art.
