Swen Swenson 'Cykellob' Print Available

Artist: Swen Swenson
Title: Everybody Needs A Fuck Off Rocket
Medium: Lithograph Print
Size: 22 x 33 Inches
Edition: OPEN
Price: $32

  

Swen Swensøn is a renowned German illustrator and graphic designer known for a pure and minimalistic style that captures the subtle beauty and quiet humor in everyday life. Based in both Hamburg and Leipzig, Swensøn aims to evoke positive feelings through his work, offering a calming counterbalance to the stresses and negativity often found in the modern world. His art, which he creates using both traditional methods like acrylic painting and digital illustration, is instantly recognizable for its ability to tell a whole story with simple motifs, clean lines, and peaceful tones.
The central theme in Swensøn's art is the appreciation of small, seemingly ordinary moments and funny encounters, which he documents in a published book titled The Ordinary and The Odd. His subject matter is wide ranging, encompassing idyllic landscapes, striking architectural forms, various people, and colorful animals. What makes his work particularly engaging is his deliberate choice to hide deeper meanings or messages within the image that only reveal themselves upon closer inspection, encouraging the viewer to pause, reflect, and appreciate the details they might otherwise miss. This practice of freezing a specific moment in time invites a quiet contemplation, an experience he describes as a symbiosis between the moment and the art itself. Swensøn is a prolific artist, collaborating with various international brands and interior designers, with his work available for purchase on different platforms and in various shops.

Norbert Bisky 'Generalprobe' Print Available

Artist: Norbert Bisky
Title: Generalprobe
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 30 x 40 cm
Edition: 25
Price: €2,000

  

Norbert Bisky, a significant contemporary German painter, was born in Leipzig in 1970 and grew up in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) as part of a staunch communist family. The collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 provided him with a new sense of freedom and direction, leading him to pursue a career in art. He studied under the influential artist Georg Baselitz at the Berlin University of the Arts from 1994 to 1999, becoming a master student in 1999. During his studies, a year abroad in Madrid exposed him to the powerful works of Spanish masters like Francisco de Goya and Francisco de Zurbarán, which greatly influenced his style.
Bisky's large scale, intensely colored oil paintings are known for their blend of figurative and abstract elements, often depicting young, idealized male figures in scenes that blur the lines between idyll and chaos. His early work drew heavily on the bright, almost overexposed aesthetic of the propagandistic Socialist Realism imagery of his youth, which he ironically described as "washed with Lenor". However, a closer look at these seemingly utopian scenes reveals a world filled with destruction, violence, and a sense of underlying unease, reflecting the artist's personal experiences of terror and the fleeting nature of life.
He translates personal experiences, global events, and media influences into powerful visual narratives, exploring themes of beauty, sexuality, violence, and destruction. Bisky's style is characterized by energetic brushstrokes and a vibrant, often primary, color palette that adds an immediate and dreamlike quality to his compositions. His works can be found in renowned international collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, and he continues to live and work in Berlin and Málaga, Spain. He remains a prominent figure in contemporary German painting, with his art reflecting the complex duality of hope and turmoil in the modern world.

Thierry Noir 'Super Classic Heads' Paintings Available

Artist: Thierry Noir
Title: Super Classic Heads
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 24 x 30 cm Each
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: £1,800 Each

Thierry Noir, a French artist born in Lyon in 1958, is widely recognized as the first artist to paint the Berlin Wall, transforming the stark symbol of Cold War oppression into a canvas for hope and freedom. Arriving in West Berlin in 1982, drawn by the vibrant music and art scene, Noir settled in an abandoned building near the Wall and, in April 1984, began his "revolutionary act".
Working quickly to avoid the armed East German border guards in the "death strip," Noir developed his signature style of bold, simple, and colorful cartoon-like figures, often featuring elongated faces and big heads. He describes his art as a physical reaction against the misery and melancholy of life near the Wall, not intending to beautify it, but to ridicule and ultimately help demystify its power. His simple, catchy "pop songs" of art were born out of necessity and danger.
Over five years, Noir covered approximately five kilometers of the western side of the Wall, inspiring countless other artists to follow suit and turning it into the world's longest outdoor gallery. After the Wall's fall in 1989, he was one of the artists invited to paint the eastern side for the East Side Gallery, a preserved stretch of the Wall and a lasting memorial.
Today, Noir is considered a pioneer of the street art movement, and his work is displayed in museums and public spaces worldwide, including the Imperial War Museum in London and the Wende Museum in Los Angeles. He continues to create murals globally, carrying his message of peace and humanity through his instantly recognizable, vibrant art, which remains an icon of resistance and creative spirit.

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.

Christoph Niemann 'Flowers I' Print Available

Artist: Christoph Niemann
Title: Flowers I
Medium: 4 Color Screen Print
Size: 70 x 100 cm
Edition: 60
Price: $950

 

Christoph Niemann is a German illustrator who turns everyday life into witty visual poetry. Born in Waiblingen in 1970, he studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart before moving to New York City in 1997. His clean, economical lines and bold blocks of color have appeared on covers of The New Yorker, TIME, and National Geographic, as well as in children’s books, apps, and Instagram animations that reach millions. Niemann is famous for transforming humble objects into surprising metaphors: a banana becomes a bicycle, coffee stains become city skylines, and a single green stripe across a white page becomes the Brooklyn Bridge viewed from a speeding cab.

His weekly column for The New York Times Sunday Review, “Abstract Sunday,” distills complex political and cultural topics into playful yet incisive images that invite readers to look twice and think again. In 2013 he launched the interactive picture book Petting Zoo, where stretching, spinning, and tapping digital creatures create unexpected reactions, proving that humor and technology can coexist with warmth. He later expanded that concept into Chomp, an app that lets kids place their own mouths and eyes onto animated sandwiches, clocks, and vacuum cleaners. When not drawing, Niemann speaks at conferences about creativity, hosts the podcast Abstract, and documents his travel impressions in sketchbooks that mix watercolor, collage, and handwritten notes. Whether addressing climate change or the joy of Sunday coffee, his art reminds us that curiosity plus simplicity can spark revelation, and that even the most ordinary moment holds a story waiting to be seen.

______________________

Delia Hamer is a German born artist who grew up in the countryside of southern Spain. She studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan and later completed her Masters in London. Hamer now lives and works in Amsterdam where she creates paintings that merge texture and liquidity through a mix of acrylic oil pastel pencil and paper collage techniques. Her vibrant color palette reflects the intense light and atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast where she spent her formative years.

Hamer’s work explores themes of memory identity and the passage of time often layering translucent washes and torn paper fragments to build dreamlike scenes that hover between abstraction and figuration. She has exhibited in solo and group shows across Europe including recent presentations titled Rinse My Soul and Fluye Sin Cesar. Her canvases invite viewers to linger discovering hidden faces botanical forms and fragments of text that suggest personal narratives. By blending drawing painting and collage Hamer constructs visual diaries that speak to the fluid nature of experience and the way places and moments leave lasting impressions on the psyche.

Micosch Holland 'USEP/Syndicate/Luftnummer' Print Available

Artist: Micosch Holland
Title: USEP/Syndicate/Luftnummer
Medium: 12 Different Wood Inlays
Size: 24 x 32 Inches
Edition: OPEN
Price: $167

German artist Micosch Holland, born 1968 in Mönchengladbach, resurrects the anarchic spirit of Dada through razor sharp mixed media collage. After studying at the Academie Beeldende Kunsten Maastricht, he settled in Schondorf am Ammersee, where vintage paper, found typography, and digital fragments are sliced, layered, and re-welded into compositions that channel Schwitters, Hoch, and Rauschenberg while critiquing twenty first century excess.

Works such as Bank (Zürich) juxtapose sprinting soldiers with corporate logos, exposing the lethal romance of money and war; other pieces remix Bauhaus geometry with surrealist body parts, yielding gritty new myths for an age of information overload. Recognition arrived via the 2014 Kids of Dada Art Prize, inclusion in the Bavarian State Art Collection, and exhibitions from Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog to London’s Hoxton Gallery. Holland insists every scrap retains its history: a 1930s bond certificate, a torn East German stamp, or a fragment of his own award winning graphic design work can become the pivot that tilts a piece from aesthetic play to political provocation. Whether wheat-pasted in alleyways or framed in white cubes, his restless montages insist that collage remains the perfect mirror for fractured times, endlessly reassembling yesterday’s debris into tomorrow’s cautionary visions.
