2024 INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS
TRON (CZ)
MICHAL ŠKAPA (1978) is a visual artist from the collective associated with Prague’s Trafo Gallery and MeetFactory, who has been preoccupied
with urban structures for much of his career. Over time his interest in this topic, sparked at the beginning of the 90ies by his involvement
in graffiti, grew into a broader range of artistic expression and contexts. This was greatly influenced by stays in the United States (2000)
and Sao Paulo, Brazil (2005). He has been able to gradually transform his visual inspiration, based predominantly on rigorous mapping of
authentic subcultures, into a unique language which has become typical of his art to the present day.
ALICÈ (IT)
Alice Pasquini (Roma 1980), is a multimedia artist from Rome whose work spans urban surfaces, galleries, and museums across more than
one hundred cities worldwide. Constantly on the move, Alice's preferred canvas is the city wall, where she seamlessly blends street art with
painting, illustration, and set design. Her artistic exploration encompasses themes of feminine vitality and the three-dimensional
possibilities of her medium, transitioning effortlessly between urban explorations and installations utilizing found materials.
ACHES (IE)
Aches is a Dublin based Irish artist, specialising in large scale murals and Graffiti. He started drawing and painting at a young age and began to paint graffiti when he was 15 years old. After graduating from the National College of Art and Design (Dublin) with a degree in Visual Communications, Aches began to fuse his knowledge of Graphic Design and Graffiti.
Aches has been invited to design and create original artwork for projects around the world, in countries such as Australia, America,
Denmark, Hungary, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Scotland, Switzerland, New Zealand, France, Germany and England.
JAUNE (BE)
Jaune is a stencil artist and urban interventionist from Brussels, Belgium. His work is based on the paradox between the visible and the invisible, with sanitation workers the main protagonists in his humorous installations and paintings – an idea that was born from his own experience working in the profession.
Despite performing an important public service in garish fluorescent clothing, Jaune observed that he and his colleagues existed in the background of our urban environment, becoming almost invisible to the average person. It was in 2011 that he decided to free these characters from their roles by symbolically placing them in ever more absurd and whimsical scenarios in and around the city streets.
HERA (DE)
HERA (Jasmin Siddiqui, *1981) is a Frankfurt-born German-Pakistani painter with artistic roots in the graffiti and street art genre. She has been traveling the world since 2001 painting large-scale murals, solo or as part of the duo HERAKUT. The biggest outdoor pieces are being located in Sao Paolo, Miami, Moscow, Reykjavik, Melbourne, Berlin, Kampala and Washington DC. Besides the mural work, her artwork has been displayed in museum exhibitions such as the Rogaland Kunstmuseum in Stavanger, Norway, in 2007, the Pera Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, 2015, the Urban Nations Museum in Berlin in 2018, and the STRAAT Museum in Amsterdam in 2022.
