Imon Boy

Born in Malaga, Spain, 1991.

Imon Boy has been practicing graffiti writing in the streets, transforming ordinary street view into the canvas of his diary. His works alternated from stylized lettering into graffiti related painting and drawings. His creations are inspired by the everyday experience and elements that accompanied his whole life: graffiti, video games, internet culture, movies, music and more. Imon Boy depicts every small or big challenges we encountered in daily life with a generous pinch of humor.

1991 年出生於西班牙馬拉加。

Imon Boy一直於西班牙街頭練習塗鴉寫作，普通的街景在他眼中卻是一頁頁日記的畫布。他的作品從藝術字體慢慢轉變為現時與塗鴉相關的繪畫和素描。他的創作靈感來自他伴隨至今的日常經歷和元素，包括塗鴉、電子遊戲、互聯網文化、電影、音樂等等。Imon Boy以一種慷慨的幽默描繪了我們在日常生活中遇到的每一個大大小小的挑戰。

Julio Anaya Cabanding

Born in Malaga, Spain, 1987. Currently living and working in Spain.

Julio Anaya Cabanding is a graduate of Fine Arts from the Univeristy of Malaga, 2018. His art reinterprets the works of the great classical masters by painting on discarded and deteriorated cardboard, collected from abandoned places and rehabilitated in his studio in order to give them a new identity in a different context. The contrast of this results in the decontextualization of those rigid structures established within the art world. In successfully painting Great works on discarded cardboard, Julio calls into question what it is that we truly value in art.

1987年出生於西班牙馬拉加。目前在西班牙生活和工作。

Julio Anaya Cabanding 於2018年畢業於馬拉加大學美術系。他的創作開始於廢墟，在城市各個被遺忘的角落以塗鴉的方式「掛上」不同的經典畫作。期後，他到贏收集廢棄的紙板，並在他的工作室重新修復後轉變為一張張畫布，在這些被遺忘之物上重新詮釋了古典大師們的偉大作品，給予這些「垃圾」一個不同背景下的新身份。這種對比把藝術世界中長久以來建立的僵化結構給去語境化。藝術家在廢棄的紙板上成功地畫出了偉大的作品，以此質疑我們在藝術中真正重視的是甚麼。

Katelyn Ledford

Currently living and work at Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Ledford’s work is a consideration of the role of images in shaping the curated portrait of women at large and individually while also reflecting on the complex and often painful reality of what it means to be a woman and artist. She uses appropriated images sourced from historical paintings, television shows, social media, and Google fever dreams while contrasting them against improvisational symbols and shapes in order to create deconstructed portraits. The tone across her work lies in a mix of cynicism, humor, and absurdist logic— like the feeling of sucking on a sour candy, you smile through the pain and pleasure.

Katelyn 的作品始終反映了作為女性和藝術家需要面對何種複雜而痛苦的現實。她的母親曾為人像攝影師，這段家庭經歷也定下了Ledford的創作基調。她使用來自歷史繪畫、電視節目、社交媒體和搜尋引擎上找到的合適圖像，並將它們與即興的符號和形狀配合產生對比，以創造解構的肖像。她的作品基調混合了玩世不恭、幽默和荒謬的邏輯――就像品嘗酸味糖一般，使觀眾在痛苦和愉悅交織中微笑。

Vanessa Morata

Born in Malaga, Spain,1992. Currently based in Spain.

Vanessa Morata is a visual artist graduated from the Fine Arts of Malaga. She is alerted of the social issue raised from over population and abusive consumption, and attempted to criticize these problems in a cryptic aspect, hiding her message under the seemingly friendly aesthetic. Morata uses a wide range of popular cultural reference, introducing iconic characters from cartoons to contemporary art which are staged in complex interiors. Her works are visually and ideologically a puzzle waiting for the audiences to solve.

1992年出生於西班牙馬拉加。 目前居住在西班牙。

Vanessa Morata是畢業於馬拉加美術學院的視覺藝術家。她非常關注人口過剩和濫用消費而引發的社會問題，並嘗試以隱晦的方式批評這些議題，將她的訊息隱藏在看似友善平和的審美之下。藝術家大量使用了為人熟知的流行文化參考，將卡通動漫和當代藝術的一些標誌性角色融入到作品中，放置這些人物在物品繁瑣的室內空間中。Morata的作品在視覺上和思想上都是一個等待觀眾解開的拼圖。
