eBoy in Copenhagen

10.03.2009 - 23.03.2009
eBoy ("Godfathers of Pixel") is a pixel art group founded in 1997 by Steffen Sauerteig, Svend Smital, Kai Vermehr. Their complex illustrations have been made into posters, shirts, souvenirs, and even displayed in gallery exhibitions. They were founded on May 2, 1997, expressing their modular and collaborative approach as something that defines eBoy as much as the use of pixels. "We started working with pixels because we loved the idea of making pictures only for the screen. It’s the best way to get really sharp and clean looking results. Also, handling pixels is fun and you are forced to simplify and abstract things, which is a big advantage of this technique."

Bruno 9li Suma

14.11.2008 - 09.01.2009
Mythological, spiritual, pantheistic: the first adjectives to illustrate Bruno 9li's metaphysical world, one of the most interesting emergent artists within brasilian artistic panorama. At the same time 9li sinthetizing whithin his artistic production several dichotomies and contraddictions of the brazilian world: metropolitan, ephemeral and technological. In his works, animals seem to spring out the diaries and bestiaries of the first European explorers of the "New World", epic heroes strongly impose themselves to spectator's attention, trought an immersion in a supernatural and ancerstral world. A return to origins, a lost golden age, pregnant of symbology.With his frenetic and saturated line, 9li draws a chaotically ordered world, ruled by a mysterious alchemy that controles, between past and future, death and resurrection, fantastic metamorphosis and genetic mutations of beasts and paladins into demigods and androids.

TvBoy Culture Clash

29.08.2008 - 30.09.2008
”Switch off the TV, you’re the one on stage”- thia is the message from the Italian artist Salvatore Benintende aka TvBoy. Through his message the artist has given life to his creative alter ego - a child observing the present broken into at mix of styles. The personality of TvBoy is split between the tenderness of a child combined with an explosive illustrator, who leaves his mark on city walls around Europe.

Boris Hoppek La Primavera

14.03.2008 - 17.04.2008
"I think 'La Primavera' its a good title as an excuse to have lots of naughty drawings to show. Let me make this clear. Yes, I made the c.m.o.n.s. for Opel, sorry. I don't have a text about the exhibition. First because i am bad with writing and second because I don't explain my work, well I just explain that I don't explain it. Why I don't explain stands for the concept of not explaining. could be - a) I use it as an excuse to cover up first that I am bad with writing or - b) my work has nothing that has to be explained, or - c) it has something, but I don't want to explain just a small part of it not to mention all the subliminal elements and interpretation variations I don't know of. Whatever, let's say its all together. Hey we should use this as the text for the press!! Then the journalists don't have to write it themselves." - Boris Hoppek.
