Featonby is an abstract artist and calligrapher from Aotearoa based in Brisbane. His style is intuitive and experimental using a hypercolour pallete which brings his pieces to life. Featonby’s work draws inspiration from his own story, using references from his life and the immediate world around him.
Integrating his signature style of explosive colour tone and mood, Fivust has developed a distinct style that carries a fun element of surprise everywhere. Whether on the streets, in galleries, and many more. Fivust admires the spectrum of possibility and flexibility of a human alter ego in creating his works. For him, it is fascinating that each of them has their own alter ego that can be expressed in so many ways. Growing up enjoying comics, manga, pop culture, and other Japanese references, Fivust’s works — in graffiti, paintings, tattoos, and others — are heavily influenced by those.
George Goodnow is a multidisciplinary artist currently living in Naarm (Melbourne).

Born in San Sebastian, Basque Country (1987), I studied Fine Arts at Barcelona University, and completed a Master degree of Painting in Bilbao. Also I lived in New York for two years while I did an Art Postgraduate before moving to San Sebastian where I shared a studio together with other artists. I focus my work on my studio paintings while combining outdoor murals. Lately I painted large scale murals in the USA, Greece, Croatia, and Spain, and had a Solo show of my paintings both in Los Angeles and Paris. Currently I live and work preparing my new Solo exhibition, together with other projects, between Madrid and San Sebastian.
