Xandolino

Brazilian artist living in Brisbane for almost 3 years now, Xandolino (Alex) collects many interests from where he draws inspiration to create his abstract pattern-like art. Among these interests there are architecture, comic books, maps, board games, graphic design, people, music, mechanism, microcosm, puns and societies. It’s diverse!

BoHdi

BoHDi is a Brisbane-based graffic artist producing works of wild influence. His work usually contains some form of human subject or element and wherever possible is very loud and craves attention. Not unlike the artist himself.

Kasper

I fell in love with creation through street art and graffiti now using the same practices on all surfaces with the objective of creating my own world of stories through characters, colours, lines and movement. A world of my own… Kasper’s World

Cekioss

In the depths of the night, my imagination ignites. My sketch pad comes to life as I experiment with different movements, colours and fonts. Lately I’ve been enjoying colourful and fun characters with a slightly abstract twist. I like to let my mind take over, and go with the flow.

Guido van Helten

Guido van Helten is an Australian, internationally-based artist working in the field of contemporary street art undertaken through a site-specific exploration of cultural identity to be re-envisaged as large scale public works.
These projects are undertaken with the intention of initiating constructive visual connections between communities and site-specific urban spaces inclusive of a broader context of cultural, social and national identity narratives. Combining cultural research, documentary based photography and community engagement, this method of working seeks to generate a broad relation to emotive qualities in the selection and placement of imagery whilst promoting social discussion.

Sofles

Hailing from Brisbane, Sofles jokes that his tag sounds like a box of tissues or something from a Hallmark card. He began painting graffiti in 2000 and soon wanted to get better as fast as he could. He began experimenting with 3Ds, however a more traditional style was developed and then improved upon. He quickly became known around the globe as an artist putting in both quantity and quality. As he mastered his craft, Sofles gained the reputation of “Special Effects Wizard”, a reference to his uncanny ability to take a standard painting and take it to the next level.
