_____________

Malleus is a renowned Italian collective, established in 2002, comprising three artists: Giacomo Spazio, Alessio Gasperini, and Francesco Casu. Operating out of Rome, the trio specialize in a unique graphic style that fuses the psychedelic visuals of the late 1960s with striking, often gothic, imagery. Their work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail, a dark, surrealistic tone, and the frequent use of mythological or occult symbolism.
The collective primarily utilizes the labor-intensive technique of hand-pulled screen printing for their poster art, embracing the tactile quality and vibrant saturation that the method provides. This traditional approach gives their pieces a distinct, handcrafted feel, setting them apart in a digital age. Malleus has gained international recognition through their prolific work in the music industry, creating highly sought-after gig posters and album art for iconic bands and musicians such as Neurosis, the Melvins, Isis, The Cure, and Nick Cave.
Beyond the music scene, their artistic reach extends into illustration, printmaking, and other fine art mediums, where they continue to explore themes of nature, female figures, and the macabre. The artists' unique visual language has cultivated a dedicated global following, cementing their reputation as a significant force in contemporary art and graphic design. They operate their own print shop and art studio, maintaining full creative control over their output and continuing to push the boundaries of their craft with a consistent and captivating artistic voice.

Enzo Mari Due 'La Pera' Print Available

Artist: Enzo Mari Due
Title: La Pera
Medium: 2 Color Screen Print
Size: 112 x 112 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Price: £270

Enzo Mari (1932–2020) was a towering figure in post-war Italian design, renowned as the "critical conscience of design." An artist, product and furniture designer, theorist, and self-professed utopian, Mari believed design was a powerful tool for societal change, not merely a commercial pursuit. His ethical, anti-capitalist stance drove him to create work that was functional, accessible, and high-quality for everyone, not just the wealthy. Mari’s approach was rooted in both the Arts and Crafts movement and his communist ideals. He applied rationalist principles to his work, moving freely between fine art, graphic design, and industrial production for major manufacturers like Alessi, Danese, and Magis. He consistently challenged the design industry throughout his prolific 60-year career, winning the prestigious Compasso d'Oro award multiple times.
Key projects illustrate his profound philosophy. The 16 Animals puzzle from 1957 was an early, celebrated piece of kinetic art that doubled as a children's toy. The Timor perpetual calendar, developed in 1967, exemplified functional, intuitive design inspired by train station flip signs. Perhaps his most famous critique of consumerism was the Autoprogettazione project of 1973. This initiative provided free instructions for users to build their own furniture from simple wooden boards and nails, encouraging a critical understanding of mass production and the value of manual labor. Mari’s legacy, spanning over 2,000 projects, continues to inspire designers to pursue a more principled, human-centered approach to creation. He firmly believed that design should solve real problems and empower the user, leaving behind a body of work that is as intellectually rigorous as it is aesthetically pure.

Enzo Prina 'That's A Moire' HPM #28 Available

Artist: Enzo Prina
Title: That's A Moire #28
Medium: Hand Embellished Giclee on Canvas
Size: 24 x 30 Inches
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: $1,000

 

Enzo Prina is an Italian contemporary artist whose kinetic moiré works transform static walls into pulsing fields of visual vibration. Born in Italy and now based in Salt Lake City, Utah, he discovered early that overlapping precise lines could create the illusion of motion, a fascination that grew into his signature technique . Working with acrylic, epoxy resin and sometimes aluminum panel, he builds multiple transparent layers, each carrying hair thin grids or concentric arcs. When these layers shift against one another, either by viewer movement or subtle rotation of the surface, waves, spirals and glitches ripple across the picture plane, an effect he likens to digital code made physical.
Process is both scientific and intuitive. Prina begins with vector diagrams plotted on screen, yet final decisions happen in the studio as he sands, pours and polishes resin to achieve glass like depth. Colour palettes range from volcanic reds and charred oranges in the large scale VESUVIUS to cool cobalt and silver in his recent Digital Love series, each hue chosen to amplify the moiré flutter without overwhelming it . The works behave like living organisms, changing under different light conditions and never revealing the same image twice.
Exhibitions at Zach Frank Gallery and Art Miami have sold out rapidly, while short form videos of his canvases spinning on turntables circulate widely online, turning optical illusion into social media spectacle . Through meticulous craft and playful engineering, Prina offers viewers a rare experience: the chance to watch paint stand still while the picture dances.

Sexdreams 'Modern Poetry' Series Available

Artist: Sexdreams
Title: Modern Poetry 1, 2 + 3
Medium: Deckled Edge Giclee Print
Size: (A4) 21 x 29.7 cm Each
Edition: TIMED
Price: £50 Each

 

Sexsdreams is the alias of Gioele Corradengo, a multidisciplinary Italian-Argentinian artist born in Milan in 1996. Drawn to urban art from an early age, he began by spraying graffiti across the city’s outer districts, developing a loose, punk-inflected style that pairs raw mark-making with day-glo colour. His signature motif is a wide-eyed, cartoonish face that he calls “the dreamer,” a character he repeats on walls, windows and canvas to suggest a restless inner world colliding with public space.
Working in acrylic, spray paint and ink, Corradengo builds layered compositions where dripping tags float over soft pastel clouds, creating a tension between aggression and whimsy. Recent pieces incorporate wedding dresses, sneakers and reclaimed wood, pushing his practice beyond traditional street supports. In 2024 fashion house Justin Alexander Signature invited him to hand-paint graffiti motifs onto silk gowns for its spring collection, merging bridal elegance with street energy and expanding his audience from alleyways to catwalks.
Despite the fashion crossover, Sexsdreams continues to paint unauthorized walls throughout Milan, Barcelona and Berlin, believing that surprise encounters keep the work honest. Limited-edition prints and original panels are released through Stowe Gallery and his own online drops, each piece stamped with his scrawled tag to certify its origin. By fusing irreverent humour with dreamy pastel palettes, Sexsdreams offers a fresh voice in European street art, proving that a single recurring face can travel from train yard to runway without losing its restless spirit.

Naomi Vona 'Evil Overthinking' Print Available

Artist: Naomi Vona
Title: Evil Overthinking
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 30 x 40 Inches
Edition: OPEN
Price: $230

Naomi Vona is an Italian artist born in 1982 in Desio near Milan. She trained in design and photography at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and now lives in London. Vona calls herself an archival parasite with no bad intentions because she invades forgotten photographs and postcards with vivid additions of paint washi tape stickers and hand drawn doodles. Her process starts with vintage images found online or in thrift shops and she covers them with bright patterns botanical motifs and abstract marks that breathe new life into anonymous faces and places. The layered surfaces become playful collisions between past and present inviting viewers to question memory ownership and the urge to leave personal traces on collective history.

Since 2013 she has developed this recognisable style while exhibiting in group and solo shows across Europe and selling limited edition prints and originals at designer markets. Workshops in Milan and London allow her to share her techniques encouraging others to reimagine found imagery. Each finished piece balances respect for the original photograph with bold contemporary intervention creating small intimate universes where nostalgia meets fearless color.

________________________

PichiAvo is the shared signature of Spanish street-art duo Juan Antonio Sánchez (Pichi, b. 1977) and Álvaro Hernández (Avo, b. 1985), lifelong friends from Valencia who merged childhood nicknames into one brand in 2007. Trained in Fine Art and Design, they fuse flamboyant graffiti lettering with the sculptural grandeur of Greco-Roman gods, painting marble-white deities that appear to burst through raw brick or swirling technicolor tags.

Their hybrid “urban mythology” adorns colossal walls worldwide Houston Bowery Wall in New York, a 26-metre Fallas monument in Valencia’s main square, and the second-largest mural on record in Porto while studio canvases and fractured-plaster reliefs like the Diaspasis series extend the dialogue between antiquity and contemporary culture. Jewel-tone aerosol gradients halo pristine Perseus, or Bacchus figures, reminding viewers that classical sculpture was once vividly polychrome. Joint exhibitions (In Gods We Trust, London, 2017; Three Graces, Montréal, 2023) and the Renegades sculpture trilogy at the Hellenic Museum, Melbourne, underscore their mission to legitimize street art by marrying its immediacy with the timeless gravitas of myth, creating a single, boundary defying visual language that rewrites both art-history books and city surfaces.
