Baseman & Biskup

Tim Biskup is an American artist generally considered to
be a part of the group that has been dubbed "lowbrow" or
pop surrealism. His free-spirited style recalls 1950s
storybook illustration, with bright colors and whimsical
shapes unrestricted by the black outlining typically used
in character design.

Jan Feliks Kallwejt

The Art of Jan Feliks Kallwejt is simple yet sophisticated. He juxtaposes and multiplies his work bringing to life the complex and tricky compositions, spiced up with attention to detail. He usually limits color palette, operating within two or three tones. To render the reality he employs multilayered symbolism, occasionally dropping in a dose of perversion where not expected.

Richard Prince

The Nurse Paintings are Richard Prince’s most recent series. These nurses are inspired by the covers and titles of inexpensive novels that were commonly sold at newspaper stands and delis (pulp romance novels). They were cheap and trashy entertainment, hence Prince’s attraction to their reflection of what the American people want. Prince scanned the covers of the nurse books with his computer and than using the modern invention of inkjet printing, transferred the images to canvas. He then personalized the pieces with acyclic paint, adding an air of mystique to them. They first debuted in 2003
