Artist, designer, entrepreneur. Throughout her career spanning over three decades, Caroline Dechamby has used art and history as a source of appropriation through which to develop her own niche, and place of resonance for her audience, within the largely male-dominated canon of painting.
Dechamby’s paintings re-asses masterpieces by household names — among them Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Piet Mondrian, as her own, painting herself (either full-bodied or as silhouette) into the pieces in the act of creation. In doing so, Dechamby symbolically and visually takes back the field from “the boys” reimagining art history in her own vision, and allowing for viewers, especially female viewers, to envision themselves too in the empowered position of creative genius in place of the artist’s painted avatar.
Repeatedly depicting her own figure from behind, Dechamby creates from her likeness both a recognisable autobiographical character, as well as an anonymous silhouette that allows for an immediate recognition and connection by viewers. Even by the very act of appropriating these works does Dechamby echo the trends of art history – her work, in a populist spirit, follows directly in the footsteps of artist like Marcel Duchamp, or more recently Elaine Sturtevant. As a woman, her outright placement of herself as an artist in the same league of famous predecessors she appropriates offers a powerful feminist statement, one that is intended outside the hallowed halls of museums and the institutionalised art world.

Jean-Baptiste Launay, better known as Jisbar, is a French pop-street artist, he lives and works between Paris and Amsterdam.

Jisbar is famous worldwide for being the first ever artist to reinterpret classical art masterpiece figures such as Mona Lisa, Frida Kahlo and others from Klimt and Warhol with his personal style of pop and street art. This striking blend of influences shaped a clear and unique identity that inspires a lot of artists and brands across the world today. Each artwork surpasses the idea of a simple remake as it is enriched with words, slogans, numbers and codes that help create a new story to decrypt. It challenges every person who looks at it to find their own clues by focusing on every single detail. The abundant signs generate new angles inside which the spectator finds new elements and interpretations every time they look at the painting.

From San Francisco to the Gold Coast, from Bangkok, Venice or Paris to London, Jisbar’s work is shown in many galleries all over the world, and well-known museums such as the Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi or the National Museum for the History of Immigration in Paris.

In the Parisian museum, Jisbar introduced his piece “Love is a New Fame” to the then President of France François Hollande during an art exhibition condemning racism and antisemitism.

Jisbar is also known for his various collaborations with renowned brands such as BMW, Armani or JM Weston, and he has contributed to create unique experiences on every one of these occasions. Among all of these memorable events, he organized an exhibition with JM Weston on the Champs Élysées. Jisbar put an exciting new spin on the brand’s identity by incorporating his art inside the flagship store and customizing several of their famous shoes to turn them into true art pieces.

He worked closely with the Italian brand and donated his piece “Ducati Mona Lisa” at a charity auction to raise 170.000€ for the Sant’Orsola Polyclinic hospital in Bologna.

His last performance paid tribute to Leonardo da Vinci on the 500th anniversary of his death. Jisbar sent a new version of his reinterpreted Mona Lisa to fly into space. The painting hovered 33.4 km above Earth for over an hour and a half. On this occasion he became the first ever artist to achieve this performance. His technical exploit was widely applauded though international media coverage.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Chance Cooper has an artistic style molded by the memories of his life, forgotten and not. His work is recognized as a playground where his characters perform their existential secrets. Chance often uses words and objects within his paintings to guide the viewer to a rabbit hole where they can jump in and create their own fling with the image, all while having their morality tested along the way. In many cases, each recurring visit to a piece will evoke a new dialogue within the mind of the observer, spawning endless narratives. His work celebrates the sacred art of storytelling and his paintings carry the feeling of a page torn from one’s life.

Gregory Watin has been internationally recognised for his very
unique "urban" style. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions across Europe and the USA for the last 15 years.
He takes a picture he uses as a sketch. He immerses himself of all things that give strength to this urban landscapes, he looks at these structures marked by time and gathers all these elements in order to build an atmosphere, a universe around these places. In his work, he tries to make them his by giving them a second breath of life. That is why he uses bright colors. He inlays various element of nature, woods, cardboard, papers, plexiglass.
There is also a notion of urgency in his work, to seize on idea before it gets away , to put on the canvas the instant gesture, the instant collages, the instant urge. He has created his contemporary poetry from daily material, from the town, the people. This urbanity made of anything is not sad or doomed , if you look at it closely, it is also colored and rhythmic.

is a Swiss based artist with a reimagined vision of Street
and Contemporary Art; moving from the street to the
greatest museums, challenging social codes, challenging the world, sometimes mocking, often denouncing, and even admiring.
He aims to provoke; to make people think, mix, connect: people, times, styles, perceptions. For Być, "to be" means to constantly seek, to say, to show, to share, as the painters he admires have done before him: whose works have described their worlds with tenderness, sometimes cruelty, and without complacency. Through hyper-consumption, he opposes recycling; and through intolerance, he imposes humour or emotion, by means of ugliness and wear and tear, the proposition of reincarnation.

Stéphane Braud, born in Libourne, is today considered one of the greatest underwater painters in the world. He is also nicknamed the “fisherman of blue”. He makes his paintings from nature, directly under the sea. Self-taught, Stéphane Braud began painting at the age of 19 and traveled to Norway, Germany and Tunisia where he found his inspiration. His favorite medium is watercolor on the spot. Since 1974, he has traveled across Africa. It took him more than 20 years of research to finally restore on his paintings, the atmosphere of the Maghreb, the effect of time on the doors discolored by the sun. Unique, its doors are of a sensitive realism and incomparable depth. In 1980, he quit his job to devote himself solely to painting and flew to Reunion Island where he set up his workshop. Passionate about diving, he naturally began to paint underwater. Today, installed in Marakech, he exhibits his works all over the world.

Everything is alive, broken down to the atoms. Even the shadows are alive and moving. A moment in time - when the shadows hit that precise orientation and when the leaves rumble slightly from the wind. Captured within the frames of a canvas, the moment was frozen and yet alive.

Neill Wright is a multidisciplinary artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. His satirical work braves the world of social commentary in a bold, colourful and humorous manner. Wright explores various mediums, such as sculpture, printmaking and painting as modes of expression, drawing inspiration from the interconnected worlds of media, popular culture, politics and societal interactions in an attempt to create panoramic views of current issues, hardships, complexities and paradoxes present within South African and to some extent African society as a whole. Through highlighting the absurdities of a collectively experienced ‘everyday’, his work subverts the tragic, placing the viewer in a space where they are confronted by opposing feelings: the melancholic reality and the ironic hilarity of his compositions.

In 2007, Neill graduated with distinction for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art (Honours), at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, where he was co-awarded the Simon Gerson Prize for an outstanding body of work. In 2009, he graduated with a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art, majoring in printmaking.

Dimitri Likissas (1969) was born and raised in Belgium and has Greek roots. Around his early 20’s he moved to the Caribbean where his career evolved from being a graphic designer to a corporate director of a media publishing company. From that point forward he has turned into a full time artist painter and his creations have discovered their way into numerous private collections mostly in Europe and America. His colored dots arrangements, transform imagery into abstract/geometric forms. He explores the unlimited potential of chromatic and tonal scale, visual planes and volume with a two-dimensional framework. Viewing his dynamic works of art is an exciting optical experience. He is influenced by his pop art heroes Keith Haring (which he has personally met as a teen), Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. For him, the pattern of dots serve as references to living organisms, atoms, i.e. the idea that matter is made up of discrete units. These patterned dots cohabitate in harmony. For him dots (circles) keep on moving and rolling, where he has developed his own optical language and inimitable style. With utmost proficiency he invites us to view the world as magical, fluid, and invigorating panorama.
