Studio Giftig1. Studio GiftigStudio Giftig consisting of the Netherlands-based artist duo Niels van Swaemen (1981, Eindhoven) and Kaspar van Leek (1983, Philipsburg St. Maarten). They come into contact with each other in 2007, at which time both individuals have been active in street art for some time. The duo developed a common painting style, with which they became known through their highly detailed (sur)realistic murals and paintings. Recognizable by the process in which they work is the way in which they translate their own personal concepts by photographing the objects and models themselves. That’s how they ensure a total autonomy within their visual language as a starting point for their paintings.

Seth Globepainter2. Seth GlobepainterBorn in Paris, Seth began to express himself on the walls of his city in the mid-90s. His preferred terrain, however, was in the 20th district where he became known in the graffiti scene for his specialization of painting characters. Graduate of the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, he published alongside Gautier Bischoff in 2000 the book Kapital, which to this day remains one the best-selling books about French graffiti. Together, they founded Wasted Talent in 2004, a publishing house that specializes in monographs of urban artists. Before becoming a full-tine artist, Seth worked in the creative industries: advertising, cartoons, comics. He painted in the street for his own pleasure. Starting from 2003, he went on a trip around the world to exchange with artists from different cultures, and to open up to new ways of living and painting in urban areas. This experience culminated in the book Globe Painter published in 2007 following with the documentary series Les Nouveaux Explorateurs produced and broadcast by Canal+ where Seth proposed to discover a country through the prism of its urban arts. For 5 years, he took a part in travelling to 15 destinations full of meaning. During the course of his artistic explorations, Seth developed his distinct painting style, working often with the theme of childhood. Using the wall as a blank page, Seth relies on one hand the individual or collective imagination – local gods, myths, or tales. The child becomes a spokesperson, a messenger of his investigations. He puts into play his image of innocence, and places his character in difficult social, political and geographical contexts. An approach that often has a dual meaning yet is never cynical; an urban painting that is engaged in alerting on the state of the world as a means to advance it.

Vanhee's narrative drawings often feature humans with bird heads, which he calls his "freebirds." These characters represent the idea of humans being free in their heads through imagination and reflect Vanhee's search for freedom and balance between nature and society. His works invite viewers to take the time to stop and look around, search for stories or questions about humans, and reflect on how we've drifted away from who we are. Vanhee's drawings have a recognizable style, often in black and white or with limited use of color. He uses elements and textures present in murals to create his work, and he often draws inspiration from his travels and local stories to fill in the details. The artist draws inspiration from nature, travel, surf and skate culture, graphic novelists, and other artists. Vanhee strives to keep his work honest by maintaining a sketchy feeling. His freebirds act as protagonists, taking viewers on a journey through his story. Vanhee's oeuvre is not bound by murals but continues through various mediums, allowing his freebirds to come to life in a story that forms a coherent whole. He creates art that is visible and enjoyable to a broad audience.

Nexgraff19. NexgraffAs Nexgraff, better known as NEX, I'm an artist from Pasaia, Gipuzkoa in the Basque Country, renowned for my striking street murals. My graffiti journey began at 13, where I honed my signature on school notes, fueled by the anticipation of using a spray can. The first time I picked up a spray can was with a classmate at a local skate park, an event that set the course of my artistic journey. An unforgettable twist came when my father recognized my 'NEX' tag on a van, thanks to the unique 'x' in my name, Nextor. This led us to a shared experience in a graffiti workshop, sparking our collaborative mural painting journey. Over time, my style and techniques have matured, allowing me to craft original works, with my own photographs and digital tools playing a key role in the final design process. Though I value planning, I always make room for spontaneous creativity, knowing the full beauty of the final result comes alive on the walls.
