„I specialise in art projects inspired by space exploration and science of the cosmos. This involves collaborating with scientists and takes the form of mixed media installations, large paintings, smart materials costumes and experimental books. These are created under the auspices of Space Agency and employ optical illusions to express the unknown phenomena of the Universe. This work started in 2007 whilst doing an MA in Glass at Sunderland University. Since then, I have collaborated with scientists in the fields of astrophysics and cosmology including a residency at Durham University’s Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics, called Space-Time Laboratory. This afforded me the opportunity to meet space shuttle astronauts and visit the UK Dark Matter Laboratory. I am now an ESERO-UK Space Ambassador for education wing of the European Space Agency. Twice, I have been a judge for the NASA Humans in Space Art Competition.“

Rebelzer

Der gute Mann hat die Wurzeln unter Tage und das Herz an der Küste. Die von ihm erfundenen Freaks sind zu seinem Markenzeichen geworden: Manchmal kritisch aber meist zur Belustigung des Volkes beitragend, kommentieren die Freaks nicht nur Rebelzers Umwelt und Alltag, sondern sind weit über Hamburgs Grenzen bekannt und beliebt. Ob auf der Straße, Leinwand oder einer Mauer: Rebelzer malt gerne und überall seine Freaks. In diesem Sinne: keep on rebelzing!

Daniel Man

Künstler wie Daniel Man reagieren mit ihren ortsgebundenen Arbeiten auf den Verlust räumlicher und kultureller Orientierung, der eine Folge der globalen Mobilisierung ist. Man arbeitet in situ und gestaltet ganze Ausstellungsräume oder zumindest den für seine Werke bestimmten Aufstellungsort umfassend. Dazu gehören in der Regel Leinwände und/oder Scherenschnitte, Skulpturen sowie abstrakte Wandmalereien.
Diese unterschiedlichen Medien setzt er in einen formalen Zusammenhang, in dem er bestimmte Formen und Farben in den verschiedenen Werken variiert. Zugleich basieren seine Arbeiten – angelehnt an die chinesische Philosophie – auf dem Prinzip von These und Antithese. Kräftige, nuancierte Farben werden mal kontrastierend, mal harmonisierend kombiniert; geometrische Formen stehen amorphen, organischen Strukturen gegenüber; abstrakte Elemente treffen auf figurative Darstellungen; Text und Bild treten in Kontakt. Diese konzeptionelle Ausrichtung korrespondiert wiederum mit einem inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt seines Werkes: Mit der Darstellung von Transfer-Situationen. Die gewählten Motive zeigen, dass Daniel Man’s Überlegungen um die Prozesse von Veränderung, Verschiebung, Wachstum und um darin enthaltenen Zwischenstadien kreisen.
Seien es die pseudowissenschaftlichen, an der Quantenphysik orientierten Zeichnungen von Kommunikationssystemen und elementaren An- und Abstoßungsprinzipien oder aber die volkstümlichen, vorwiegend dem asiatischen Kulturkreis entlehnten Darstellungen: diese Arbeiten hinterlassen nie einen statischen, abgeschlossenen Eindruck. Daniel Man visualisiert also in formaler wie inhaltlicher Hinsicht Mobilität. Diesen Ansatz radikalisiert er noch, in dem er Elemente aus jenen Kunstwerken, die in seinen Besitz verbleiben, in neue Arbeiten integriert. Mit diesem Vorgehen versinnbildlicht der Künstler einerseits die Notwendigkeit in mobilen Gesellschaften auf immer neue Orte und Räume einzustellen, zugleich jedoch verdeutlicht er das Vorhandensein von Konstanten, die der Orientierung dienen und die sich gerade aus biografischen, kulturellen und historischen Prägungen ausbilden. Weil Man den Ort diskursiv begreift, kann er in seiner Arbeit verschiedene Orte besetzen: die Problematik kultureller Differenzen; da Gefühl der Heimatlosigkeit; den Nomadismus des Kunstbetriebs; die gesellschaftliche Rastlosigkeit; die Frage nach dem gültigen Raumbegriff. Darin erforschen Mans ortsgebundene Arbeiten, einerseits den mobilen Ort und die nomadische Subjektivität. Zum anderen setzen sie die Möglichkeit der ortsspezifischen Praxis, die im aktuellen Raumverständnis verdrängen soziale Phänomene sichtbar zu machen, konsequent um. Die zeitgenössische Wandarbeit im Ausstellungsraum stellt in ihrer Bildung an den Ort und in ihrer Ephemerität eine besonders geeignete Kunstform für eine solche Umsetzung dar.

I am an artist and illustrator who enjoys working in different mediums, my favorite being spray paint.
I paint portraits using realism as a reference point for more abstract experimentation. The images are built in layers that become ambiguous and open to interpretation from the viewer. I am inspired by aboriginal art and graffiti; aesthetically and conceptually with their self evolved visual languages, dual meanings, temporal quality and its basis in culture, people and environment rather than just commerce.
This website showcases some of the work I have created both commercially and for pleasure.
Drawing and painting has always been my passion and I practice it everyday. The execution gives me as much pleasure as the end product.
I hope you enjoy the work any feedback will be gratefully received.“

HNRX

„HNRX, Is Not Street-Art Or Typical Type Of Graffiti.
I Would Call Myself More Of An Artist Who Is Often Painting In Public Spaces As On Paper Or Something Else.
I Like The Material Concrete, The Kinds Of Errors And Unevenness In A Wall.
The Background Of My Pictures Mostly Is Not Perfect, So I Have To Make The Best Out Of It.
That Makes Each Picture Individual And Gives It Character. It Feels „Alive.“
That’S The Reason Why I Am Never Painting On Canvas, Only On Carton Or Some Other Material.
Because With All Its Uneveness This Makes It Nearly The Same As A Wall. And Each Carton Has It’s Own Story.
I Started Painting With Cans And Acrylics In 2012. But I Am Still In Love With Art Since I Was Born.
The Most Time When I Am Painting, Im Not Thinking About Anything Else, I Am Just Painting From Me Outwards And Having Fun.
My Art Is Not About Any Political Statement Or About What Happens Around The World. I Want To Transfer My Pictures With Just Fun, Joy, And Love.
Because The World Is Beautiful!“

Ashok Mistry

„As an artist working between the UK and India, my central discourse deals with the global human desire to reconcile the rationality of one’s milieu with the irrationality of the world beyond. In particular I study how people from different cultures form “truths” from the data at hand and how that truth jars with the “truths’’ of others. Artworks explore contemporary concerns such as how data is mediated and formed into information, the uncertainty of the authorship and the evolution of a message as it travels through a multiplicity of unconventional cultural distillers, well beyond the institutionalised cultural gate keepers of the past.
My work is nourished by actively engaging people to feed a work with source data or actively being part of the work. Rather than studying people I prefer to work with them in an attempt to understand their perspective, sensibilities, motives and goals. Looking beyond the surface traits such as identity I try to draw out both the rational and irrational that makes us who we are.
By drawing on scientific and philosophical reasoning such as Turing’s Reaction Diffusion theory, I explore how people use both rational and irrational methods to form a ‘truth’ that is manifest as either tenets, metaphor(S) or motif(S). Using play, metaphor, repetition and reflection I try to create artworks (or situations that lead to the creation of artworks) that sit as a mirror to our insecurities.
Motif plays a big part in my work and can be seen as units of data or understanding. My approach is to view motifs as the building blocks of how we understand ourselves. I try to take these motifs far from their original context and understand their value beyond an affectation. It’s only then that we can see the real value within them.“
