InstagramJoe Iurato is a New Jersey based multidisciplinary artist whose works are built on a foundation of stencils and aerosol paint. Falling somewhere in between simplistic and photorealistic, his style delivers a distinctly clean and illustrative aesthetic. While Joe’s murals have adorned neighborhoods in the USA and abroad for over 20 years, he’s also become noted for the unique placement and photography of miniature painted wood cutouts set in public spaces. Utilizing the outdoor environment to create site-specific installations, Joe creates windows into a whimsical narrative formed by moments and memories. Before leaving each installation behind, he documents it with a photograph. The photographs offer specific and intentional viewpoints of the artwork in relation to its surroundings, manipulating our perception of scale and dimensionality. Joe’s also an established studio artist, whose artworks have been exhibited worldwide in museums, galleries, and art fairs. He takes on commercial work as well, with a list of clients that include: The NFL, Kenneth Cole, GQ, Red Bull, Adidas, Mike Tyson’s Iron Mike Productions, The New York Racing Association, Nike’s House of Hoops, ESPN, the NBA, NBC’s Sunday Night Football, Sprite, USA Network, Nusret Steakhouses, Nickelodeon, and Paramount Pictures.
InstagramTuig Oma began in 2017, when I started drawing simple doodles with no real purpose other than mild entertainment. The illustrations were a bit odd, a bit dumb, and somehow just kept multiplying. Over time, this accidental hobby developed its own dry sense of humor, the kind that quietly sneaks in rather than loudly demands attention. Eventually, the drawings escaped the sketchbook. First they ended up on a T-shirt featuring a pair of unapologetically saggy boobs. Then came stickers, and gradually the collection grew into something resembling an actual brand, recognisable, slightly absurd, and apparently here to stay. What makes Tuig Oma unique is its stubborn commitment to not taking itself too seriously. The work is playful, understated, and intentionally imperfect. And every so often, I wander off on a side quest to paint a mural, bringing the same deadpan energy to a much larger surface.
InstagramFounded in London in 2009, SMT Crew quickly gained notoriety across the UK for their uncompromising approach to graffiti. Since its inception, the groups persistence and disregard for convention has positioned them as one of the most influential crews to emerge from the UK scene. They have painted metro systems across the world, released the sold out cult documentary System Tumours and caused So Much Trouble. Operating for years in high-pressure, unsanctioned environments has equipped SMT with a distinctive skillset. Working at scale, at height and against tight time constraints has shaped a disciplined approach to planning, execution and site awareness, all of which has informed their current ambitious work, which consists of one of the largest un commissioned murals in the UK. SMT Crew have never been known to do things by half measures. In 2024 they became the first UK crew to execute a vertical graffiti piece, reinforcing their position at the forefront of the subculture. Frequently the first to push new approaches, formats and locations, the crew have played a pioneering role in extending the possibilities of contemporary graffiti and mural work.
Instagramïque is a mosaic artist who uses a wide range of material that is either broken or discarded. Turning something purposeless, like broken glass, a shattered mirror or a cracked flower pot into a composition and giving it a new form gives a little feeling of consolation in this world of neverending consumerism. Through the therapeutic process of creating an image by placing small pieces side by side, ïque draws attention to the possibility of giving a new purpose to something that’s lost its original value.
InstagramKalani Ware is a multidisciplinary artist based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. His work spans multiple disciplines, drawing inspiration from his multicultural background. Born and raised in Oakland, California with roots in Hawai‘i, he integrates influences from both cultures to create vibrant and thought-provoking works of art.

Through abstraction, he invites viewers to engage with their own thoughts and emotions, sparking curiosity and introspection. His creative process is organic and intuitive, beginning with a thought or idea that first takes shape as a visual sketch in his mind. He works tirelessly to refine his concepts, allowing them to evolve through careful revision and reflection. While best known for his abstract works, his portfolio includes a wide range of styles and subjects, from nature-inspired landscapes to expressive human figures. With a bold and imaginative approach, Ware continuously pushes the boundaries.
InstagramStarting off with an interest in drawing, I studied Illustration and Fine Arts, where I began to paint and eventually started to develop the three-dimensionality of my images in sculptures and light works. My work navigates between heavy themes and lightheartedness, often resulting in colourful worlds with a dark twist. Creating work is for me a way to channel past events and feelings and investigate notions of fear, mortality and legacy. I attempt to make sense of the world through mixing my own experiences with collective beliefs, often questioning mythological symbols and their representation to create my own narratives.

InstagramNicolas Masterson Taroe (TAROE) is a French artist born in 1981 in Bayonne. His practice explores how an image is constructed between perception and composition, the immediacy of the real and the projection of an inner world. Each painting begins with visual matter: photographic fragments, details gathered through travel, traces of architecture, signage, shopfronts, and passing figures. These elements are never treated as documents. They become a vocabulary. TAROE assembles, shifts, and reorders them until a scene emerges rooted as much in lived experience as in imagination. Rendered in oil with controlled precision, his work creates a distinct tension: everything appears instantly recognizable, yet nothing is left to chance. Framing, light, surface, and the measured distance between figures and signs orchestrate a quiet dramaturgy. Everyday life becomes a constructed set, in which the viewer’s gaze moves between observation and narrative. Through this approach, TAROE questions the making of the visible: what we think we see, what returns through memory, and what is formed through painting. His work is presented internationally and held in private collections.
InstagramFilipe Grimaldi is a Brazilian visual artist and sign painter whose practice explores the intersection of popular culture, vernacular typography, and contemporary art. His work is rooted in the visual traditions of hand-painted lettering across Latin America, drawing from influences such as Brazilian sign painting, Argentine fileteado, and other regional graphic expressions. Through painting, installation, and research, Grimaldi investigates how language, ornament, and material culture shape collective identity and memory. His works often incorporate found objects and discarded surfaces, transforming them into carriers of narrative and visual poetry. By bridging artisanal techniques with a conceptual approach, his practice challenges distinctions between art and craft, erudite and popular, while celebrating the richness of everyday visual culture.
