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.

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.

Ekaer

My work consists of surreal abstract flow, using basic life images and ideas. I portray in each work a sense of what would fit into that space and time letting the image speak for itself, in faith one can or can’t relate to. The media I mainly use are spray paints and acrylics, whichever fits best into that work

Joel Birch

Beginning in 1999, Joel developed the ethos of a well-rounded graffiti writer; developing his signature semi-technical letter forms, hand styles and public pieces for fast execution where time was limited. Currently riding a wave of renewed passion for music (The Amity Affliction), graffiti and other visual art forms, Joel Birch is enjoying a resurgence. Joel’s practice connects with the lyrics and letter forms that he was drawn to at the beginning of his career.
