JOE IURATO
American, b 1973
Joe Iurato is a New Jersey based multidisciplinary artist whose works are built on a foundation of stencils and aerosol paint An internationally recognized street artist, gallery, and commercial artist, Iurato is known for having a distinctly clean and illustrative style. At the heart of his work are the stories, each shaped by personal experiences, influences and observations. His recollection of childhood, in all of its innocence, imaginative play, mischief and curiosity, is a recurring theme in Joe’s works – often told through depictions of his own kids, neighborhood friends and families he meets along the way. His mastery of scale and perspective best exemplified in his signature wooden cutouts creates a powerful dialogue between the artwork and its environment, manipulating space and challenging perceptions.
For nearly 20 years, Iurato has been dedicated to stencil art and exploring its possibilities. Outside, he works on varying scales, from mural to miniature, often creating site-specific installations that allow the surrounding environment to play a key role in the completion of the works’ narratives. His signature wooden cutouts highlight the unlimited potential for storytelling within the overlooked details of public space. In the studio, he uses a wide range of media, including found objects and reclaimed wood, to experiment, tinker, build and evolve
His works resonate across the globe, exhibited in cities such as London, New York, Miami, Taipei, and Berlin. Iurato’s collaborations with brands like GQ, Adidas, IPIC Theaters, and The NFL, along with his impressive murals across the United States and Europe further highlight his impact on contemporary art

CEY ADAMS
American, b 1962
New York City native Cey Adams emerged from the downtown graffiti movement to exhibit alongside fellow artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. He appeared in the historic 1982 PBS documentary Style Wars which tracks subway graffiti in New York. Cey’s work explores the relationship between transformation and discovery focusing on themes ranging from pop culture to race and gender relations. His practice involves dismantling various imagery and paper elements to build multiple layers of color, texture, shadow, and light. Cey draws inspiration from 60’s pop art, sign painting, comic books, and popular culture As the Creative Director of hip hop mogul Russell Simmons’ Def Jam Recordings, he co-founded the Drawing Board, the label’s in-house visual design firm, where he created visual identities, album covers, logos, and advertising campaigns for Run DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Notorious BIG, and Jay-Z He exhibits, lectures and teaches art workshops at institutions including: MoMA, Brooklyn Museum, Walker Art Center, and MoCA Los Angeles.

BLEK LE RAT
French, b 1951
Blek Le Rat, born Xavier Prou in Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris, was one of the very first graffiti artists in Paris and has been described as the “Father of Stencil Graffiti” Blek was first introduced to graffiti during a trip to New York City in 1971 where he was inspired to bring the style back to Paris, adapting the stencil as a more fitting technique for French architecture He is best known for stenciling a giant graphic image of a rat all over Paris in the early 1980s, which to him symbolized both freedom and the dissemination of art through the city as if it were the plague. Blek, who has influenced generations of urban artists around the world, boasts a subtle social commitment and considers his images as a gift he gives to the city. His works often represent solitary individuals that can be encountered in the urban space–women, children, the elderly, and a diverse range of contemporary characters. In a desire to bring the people of the city closer to art, he quotes the great classics such as Caravaggio, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. “I would like to bring the characters out of museums to return them to the people of the city.” His street art has appeared in cities across the world, and he has exhibited in New York, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, and beyond

MR. BRAINWASH
French, b 1966
A provocative figure in the world of street art, Mr Brainwash practices an irreverent brand of appropriation characterized by the use of copyrighted images from history, popular culture, and art history. The artist subtly alters the picture or its context, mischievously undermining the tone of the source material. Brainwash, a pseudonym for Thierry Guetta, is known for producing massive spectacles to display his art. He came to prominence through mounting large-scale public projects in his current home of Los Angeles and as the main figure in the Banksy-directed film Exit Through the Gift Shop His work hinges on the idea that anything is possible in his practice. “Art has no walls. Anybody can be an artist,” he says. “Art has no rules. There’s no manual.”

CORNBREAD
American, b 1953
Cornbread, born Darryl McCray, is credited with being the first modern graffiti artist During the late 1960's, he and a group of friends started "tagging" Philadelphia, by writing their nicknames on walls across the city. His work has been celebrated as the genesis of modern graffiti culture, and he is considered one of the pioneers of tagging, paving the way for legendary graffiti artists like Taki 183 and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The movement spread to New York and blossomed into the modern graffiti movement, which reached its peak in the U.S. in the 1980’s and then spread to Europe
Since his tagging days, McCray has formed a close partnership with The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program; the largest public art initiative in the United States. Today, he works as a public speaker and youth advocate, giving motivational talks about his youth as a tagger and the struggles that came with it. His work is in the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and in many private collections globally. In 2013, McCray was honored at the Graffiti Hall of Fame for his contribution to hip-hop culture

CRASH
American, b 1961

By 1980, he began transitioning from train yards to art galleries, curating the groundbreaking "Graffiti Art Success for America" at Fashion MODA that helped elevate the graffiti movement. CRASH’s career took off and he saw instant popularity throughout Europe and America, and eventually Asia. CRASH's work has been part of numerous exhibitions around the world and is in many permanent museum collections including the Brooklyn Museum and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. His visually iconic work has appeared in partnerships with Absolut Vodka, Fender Guitars, SoBella Handbags, Levi’s, and most recently, Tumi luggage and Morphik.

SHEPARD FAIREY
American, b 1970
Shepard Fairey is an American graphic artist and social activist who blurs the boundary between traditional and commercial art through type and image, communicating his brand of social critique via prints, murals, stickers, and posters in public spaces. “Art is not always meant to be decorative or soothing, in fact, it can create uncomfortable conversations and stimulate uncomfortable emotions,” he stated. In 1989 Fairey created the André the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign, featuring a stylized image of the wrestler André the Giant. This project was the foundation for his seminal Obey series, which helped to push Fairey into the public spotlight. The artist is perhaps best known for his Hope (2008) campaign, which portrays a portrait of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, in red, white, and blue.

Moving from walls to canvas, Green’s recent paintings, influenced by the art of the Edo Period in Japan and created with gesso and sumi ink, incorporate his signature style of figurative abstraction and use of letterforms while at the same time posing metaphysical questions about the nature of narrative, the physics of time, and the possibility of immortality He calls them “biological entities, a swarm of arrows coming in from infinite perspective.”

RICHARD HAMBLETON Canadian, 1952 - 2017
Richard Hambleton, often referred to as the “godfather of street art,” pioneered New York’s downtown art scene alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. He is best known for his menacing “Shadowmen” and “Horse and Rider” figures grisly black silhouettes that appear to have been painted mid-explosion. He tagged across the US and Canada before settling in New York in 1979 He tagged Lower Manhattan alleyways through the 1980s, then shifted his attention from the street to the studio, where he made works on canvas and paper. Hambleton showed at the Venice Biennale in the 1980s, yet he was largely forgotten in the ’90s and early 2000s, when his personal battles with illness and addiction alienated him from the art world. Now, Hambleton’s work can now be found in the collections of Brooklyn Museum, the Andy Warhol Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, among others. At auction, his work regularly sells for six figures

LOGAN HICKS
American, b 1971
Logan Hicks is a New York-based artist known for his photorealistic stenciled paintings. Studying at the Maryland Institute of Contemporary Art in the early 1990s, Hicks cut his teeth as a successful screen printer, before being inspired to branch into stencils. Called a painter with a photographer’s eye, Hicks’ work has largely focused on the perception of the environment, at times humanizing its architectural angles and structures, and at others using its vastness to explore self-identity. With an old master’s approach to lighting, Hicks sculpts ordinary architectural scenes into deeply metaphorical and contemplative imagery through stenciled aerosol Over the years, Hicks has developed his impeccable photorealistic style using stencils, sometimes using up to 15 layers of stencil to achieve this precision. Working from his own photographs, subjects are translated to multiple layers of stencils, brought to bold dimensionality by blending colors through aerosol Hicks’ mastery has gained him worldwide recognition and resulted in the opportunity to create large-scale murals in Istanbul, Miami, Baltimore, New York, Tunisia, Paris, and beyond. In 2016 Hicks painted the acclaimed Houston Bower Wall in New York.

PhoebeNewYork, an alter ego character for Libby Schoettle, first came to life in collages created with found objects, including vintage photographs, magazine pages, clothing, as well as old books, record covers, and the occasional iconic pop art element. The artist is drawn to materials that have been owned and handled by others, materials that have been touched over time and that will remain intact over time (or not).
From the streets of New York City to Philadelphia, Los Angeles, London, and Berlin, Schoettle reveals her own vulnerability, raw emotions, and witty observations through PhoebeNewYork‘s dark and funny explorations into love, feminism, political independence, and finding beauty in the mistaken. Libby and Phoebe have been featured in publications such as New York Magazine’s The Cut and Nylon and have been the subject of fashion collaborations with Victoria Beckham, Dr. Marten’s, and Lululemon, among others.

ROA
Belgian, b 1976
Anonymous street artist ROA is famous for his large-scale, monochromatic murals of rats, birds, rabbits, fish, and other wildlife, which he often depicts in states of decay. At times, ROA situates his visceral, decrepit creatures in the streets of Ghent, in his native Belgium, though he has executed public projects in other global cities as well His major concerns include conservation and the boundaries between life, death, and the afterlife. Growing up, the artist took inspiration from graffiti and the American cultures of skateboarding and hip-hop. ROA’s work has graced walls in London, New York, Berlin, Warsaw, Madrid, Moscow, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Paris, and he has exhibited in numerous galleries across the world. In 2011, the artist was included in the groundbreaking “Art in the Streets” exhibition at MOCA Los Angeles alongside street art icons such as Banksy and Invader.

SWOON American, b 1977
American street artist Swoon is best known for her large-scale wheatpaste prints and paper cutouts. Often depicting portraits of her friends and family, her work involves a wide-ranging practice that includes installation and performance. Using reclaimed materials whenever possible, Swoon’s images are often printed on recycled newspaper and glued onto abandoned buildings, bridges, and street signs around the world. “There is power on the walls of the city, and I fell in love with every part of that,” said the artist. Born Caledonia Dance Curry, Swoon moved to New York to received her BA in fine arts at the Pratt Institute in 2002 Her work gained recognition after a solo show at Jeffrey Deitch’s Soho gallery in 2005, quickly attracting the attention of gallerists and museum curators. The artist’s site-specific solo show Submerged Motherlands at the Brooklyn Museum in 2014 was the museum’s first exhibition dedicated to a living street artist
