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 …

Daniel Man

Man often says that his German and Chinese souls are locked in a conflict of cultures. The work of art is the surface upon which this dialog becomes illuminated. There, the elements that both cultures have in common – including the ways in which they compliment or contradict each other – can be joined into a whole: one overarching work of art. This creative conversation between artist and work of art is characterized by a remarkable dynamic that endures long after work has been completed.(…)His sense of when and how to react to varying conditions – particularly in public space – is indebted to the artist’s years of experience with graffiti. Both the vocabulary that he learned during this time, as well as the feeling fort he encounter between, artwork and its enviroment that he acquired, persist in his more recent work. It is the dialectical moment of an encounter that the artist is most interested in. Whether this is a confrontation between artist and work, a work of art and its enviroment, or colors, …

“I’ve been born in the year 1977, and i start with art in 1995. Being an artist, means for me, that i like to draw my own stuff, like my freaks and i love to work with different materials, and figure out same different techniques on different undergrounds. im a “jack of all trade”, so that means, i like working with my hands. and i like to meet other artists around the globe, and doing same projects together.thats another hobby ive got: traveling around the world ! So if you wanna do same stuff with me together, contact me, or invite me, and im coming around ! All the best, and i hope you like my work.” Rebelzer http://rebelzer.com

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 …
