Yigal Ozeri, Yellow Sky Portal; Americana, 2022, Oil on Canvas, dia: 50 in.
More infoNew York City-based Israeli artist Yigal Ozeri considered among the top Hyperrealist painters in the world.
Ozeri is best known for his large-scale cinematic portraits of distinctive young women in rich prodigious landscapes. With tinges of Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics, Ozeri brings an ethereal and uninhibited sensibility to his paintings. His portraits denote art historical foundations in romanticism, while also offering contemporary notions of sensual femininity.
Rooted in Carl Jung’s concept of anima, Ozeri’s depictions of a revitalized connectivity to nature prompt a confrontation of subconscious effeminate identity, and reinstate the beauty of innocent authentic
experience. His photorealistic oil paintings convey the spirit of his subjects, giving way to a seductive power. As a result, the viewer is compelled to gaze into the allegorical domain between reality and fantasy.
Ozeri has shown extensively around the world including solo exhibits in Spain, China, The Netherlands, France, Germany, and Mexico. His work is featured on the cover, and included in the book Photorealism and the Digital Age. He is currently in a traveling Museum show titled 50 Years of Hyperrealistic Painting that was showcased in a number of venues including: Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, and Museo
de Bellas Artes in Bilbao. He is also in the permanent collections of: The Whitney Museum of American Art, The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, The Jewish Museum in New York, The New York Public Library, The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the Albertina in Vienna, among others. He is represented by Louis K. Meisel Gallery in New York City.

Philip Colbert, Lobster Banana, 2021, Painted Aluminum, 47 1/4 x 47 1/4 x 38 3/16 in,
More infoPop artist Philip Colbert’s multi-disciplinary art projects have been acclaimed by an array of fashion icons, including Karl Lagerfeld and Lady Gaga, and have been featured in a number of museums, private collections and pop-up exhibitions worldwide, notably Art Basel, Frieze London, Art 16 and Tate London. Previously described by Andre Leon Talley as “the godson of Andy Warhol”, Colbert’s work provokes a unique, wholistic contemporary voice in modern pop.
Working across painting, embroidery, furniture, sculpture and wearable art, Colbert expanded his pop universe most recently with his inaugural solo show of large-scale paintings exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery. The monumental new works, conceived as a dialogue between the artist and his pop forefathers, trace Colbert’s autobiographical journey within his unique creative landscape. Like his Pop Art predecessors, he employs aspects of mass culture and removes them from their context to create a provocative, satirical language of his own.
Colbert brings pop back to British painting with a bang, transporting historical icons alongside today’s celebrities and motifs. The artist’s visual set of references include Salvador Dali’s lobster telephone, Lichtenstein’s hot dog, David Hockney’s swimming pool, Francis Bacon’s distorted portrait, Grayson Perry as his alter ego Claire, amongst others. The foundation of Pop Art is juxtaposed with Colbert’s own playful response to icons and symbols associated with fine art. In doing so, he creates a dialogue with established ideas and works of the past. He ironically pastiches this imagery, playing on the notion that their repetition and overuse over the years have rendered them symbols of popular culture.
Throughout his practice, Colbert plays to our fears as much as our hopes, by highlighting the influence of social media on our daily lives and addressing political concerns and global issues such as climate change.

More infoKAWS is an American graffiti artist and designer known for his toys and paintings. Pop Art and culture permeate his cartoonish figures—such as his Disney-esque Companion—which bears a resemblance to the work of Takashi Murakami. “Graffiti is like building a career,” the artist reflected. “And there is a dialogue with the other artists out there mostly fellow writers because a lot of people who don’t paint just see a blur when they look at it.”
Born Brian Donnelly on November 4, 1974 in Jersey City, NJ, KAWS worked in animation after graduating with a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Having started as a graffiti artist in New York in the early 1990s, KAWS began reworking advertisements in his distinctive style. Gaining both street accreditation and more recently gallery exhibitions, his work can be found in the collections at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and the Rosenblum Collection in Paris. In 2017, KAWS worked together with Nike to produce an Air Jordan 4 shoe and Uniqlo to produce a Peanuts inspired T-shirt, continuing to blur the boundaries between fine and commercial art. The artist currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
