Rips1402. Rips1Linus von Moos is a Swiss artist born in 1986, also known under the pseudonym Rips1. The foundation of his work lies in the connection between place, space, and subject matter. As an artist from Central Switzerland, his work is strongly influenced by themes such as nature, landscapes, plants, animals, and sporting activities. Figurative motifs play a significant role in his works, as they embody stories and situations from his surroundings. His paintings are characterized by elements of humor, exaggeration, and childlike playfulness. His artistic path focuses on disciplines such as large-scale architectural painting, canvas painting, digital photography, and computer graphics. As a self-taught artist, von Moos was strongly influenced by street art and graffiti. His early works are known for their dark hatching and bold brushstrokes that dominate the composition as contours. Even at a young age, he was fascinated by the dynamism of graffiti drawings – a fascination that resonates in his work to this day. His artistic approach is characterized by a desire to capture the beauty and transience of the moment. This is evident in both his technique and his choice of tools: old, worn brushes and paint rollers, which create precise yet vibrant lines and lend his works a special depth. Photography frequently serves as a source of study and inspiration for his murals. Through it, he attempts to capture the fleeting beauty of a moment, often enhanced by a striking play of light and shadow and an unmistakable subtlety of color. He transfers these photographs into his paintings, thus distilling memories that might otherwise be forgotten. The theme of "nature" in his work goes beyond mere representation and conveys a profound message about the fragility of the moment. His paintings often evoke fleeting moments that seem to merge with their surroundings, while their bold lines maintain a timeless presence. This unique combination of natural motifs, clean lines, and expressive brushstrokes makes his works an authentic reflection of his personal journey. They capture moments that arise from the interplay between man and nature, offering each viewer an individual story.
Ligama404. LigamaLigama is a Sicilian artist whose career began in Catania, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and later became Assistant to the Chair of Engraving. After years of research on printmaking, he left the Academy in 2015 to fully dedicate himself to painting. His early focus was on the pixel as the fundamental unit of digital imagery, leading to his debut solo exhibition *8Bit* in Bologna. Ligama works both in the studio and in public spaces, and since 2016 he has participated in major international street art festivals such as Festiwall, The Bushwick Collective, and Gulìa Urbana. He has collaborated with museums, foundations, churches, and institutions including the Museum of Urban Art in New York, MACRO in Rome, the Terzo Pilastro Foundation, and the Federico II Foundation. His murals appear in locations ranging from penitentiaries and hospitals to historical churches, and he has worked with brands like Lidl, Glo, and Airlite. A highlight of his practice is *Uncommissioned Landscape*, a self-initiated project in which he paints pixelated color fields on Sicilian ruins, using audio recordings to generate the palette. The result integrates with the landscape and invites reflection. This work bridges digital aesthetics and traditional rural architecture, reflecting Ligama’s evolving focus on classical imagery, flora, and human presence. In recent years, Ligama has completed significant projects in Denmark, Matera, Parma, and Palermo. In 2024, he created the first of 21 murals across Sicily commemorating mafia victims. Recognized as one of Exibart’s 222 young Italian artists to invest in, his work continues to blend digital concepts with historical and cultural themes, gaining national media attention and inclusion in prestigious collections.
LUAP418. LUAPPaul Robinson, also known as 'LUAP,' is a British multidisciplinary artist born in 1982. Originally from Grimsby, LUAP is now based in London and has showcased his work on a global scale. Central to LUAP's artistic practice is "The Pink Bear". A cherished remnant of childhood memory. Resurrected through sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). It is a figure which encapsulates the spectrum of human encounters. "The Pink Bear" metamorphoses into a vessel for voyages of revelation and investigation. He embodies aspirations and anxieties. An enigmatic personality. He navigates between the surreal, the envisioned, and the corporeal. Acting as a creative conduit, "The Pink Bear" integrates into a variety of mediums. Spanning hyper-realistic oil paintings, performances, sculpture, and photography. LUAP's work defies easy categorization. Blending elements of Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Hyperrealism. LUAP's classical practice finds a counterpart in his thirst for adventure. An artist who embraces uncertainty. He travels the world with The Pink Bear. Immersing himself in extreme settings. LUAP pushes the limits of endurance. Weathering extreme conditions and unforgiving landscapes. The final image is the prize. One that provides the fuel and acts as the catalyst for bold series of works. Robinson, stands as a trailblazer in the contemporary art scene. The Pink Bear provokes thought and discussion wherever he goes. Transcending geographical boundaries the bear is one and all. A representation of a shared essence of humanity. Fostering connections and facilitating positive change. The Pink Bear continues to captivate and inspire.
