artwork by Il Lee

Il Lee was born in Korea but lives in the USA. He creates some amazing artwork using apparently as his main tool the ballpoint pens used by students on a daily basis all over the world. He undoubtedly takes much more time to cover a single page than they probably do though. It is hard to imagine how many lines and curves were necessary to complete any of these works.

artwork by Hush

In his most recent works - best experienced when viewed hanging from the ceiling of a gallery and reaching down to the floor, or spray-painted on a wall -, Hush offers his view on a clash between western and eastern cultures on the one side and between street art and more academic means of expression on the other side.

These inventive and colourful compositions, featuring far-eastern figures or manga characters ornate with graffiti-like scribblings and drawings, often have an intriguing cartoonish quality.

artwork by Juan Saló

Juan Saló's bio (which can be found there) informs us that he is a young Spanish artist - real name Juan Saló Armengol - who shares his time between Barcelona and Berlin.

When he is not busy carving clay, wood or more unusual materials such as masking tape, he uses pen on canvas to painstakingly draw original and complex colour patterns.
