DAVID YARROW was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966. He took up photography at an early age and as a 20-year-old found himself working as a photographer for The London Times on the pitch at the World Cup Final in Mexico City. On that day, David took the famous picture of Diego Maradona holding the World Cup and, as a result, was subsequently asked to cover the Olympics and numerous other sporting events. Many years later David established himself as a fine art photographer by documenting the natural world from new perspectives and the last nine years have been career-defining.

David’s evocative and immersive photography of life on earth is most distinctive and has earned him an ever-growing following amongst art collectors. His large monochrome images made in Los Angeles are on display in leading galleries and museums across Europe and North America. He is now recognised as one of the best-selling fine art photographers in the world and his limited edition works regularly sell at high prices at Sotheby’s and other auction houses.

ALEXANDER H Ö LLER was born in 1996 in Schweinfurt, Germany. He graduated from The Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in 2020. Holler’s unique and daring paintings present a mixture of self-portraits of an artist as a young man and ultimately as a jester holding a mask up to the world to tell it what he thinks of it with the gesture of a silent scream, as well as abstract multi-layered, intricate color field paintings.

Alexander Höller is an international artist based in Munich. He is exhibited and known all over the world. His paintings free the viewer from mundane everyday life, release positive emotions, and transport to the viewer to a different world. A world where each human can be one with themselves. Alexander Höller manages to do just that with his EMOTION ART.

He started creating art work at the young age of fifteen and decided to dedicate his life to art shortly before his graduation. Thanks to his artistic giftedness, he was accepted into the State Academy of Fine Arts at the request of his professors even though he didn't yet have a high school diploma. Something that is unheard of, even to date.

Alexander Höller's works of art are intended to break boundaries, to stimulate reflection through their contrasts and contradictions, and thus spark the viewer's emotions: they glow, seize the space and thus create the possibility of interpretation and inspiration. They look strong at first and delicate at second glance. Due to their versatility and complexity, the works appear spherical.

JOHN DEPUY was born on December 17, 1927, in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He was a third generation New Mexican; his grandfather owned a ranch in Taos County in the late 1890s. Following his studies at Columbia and Oxford Universities, DePuy joined the Artists League and studied under the German Expressionist painter Hans Hofmann. After serving in the Korean War, DePuy was honorably discharged from the US Navy and moved to Taos where he became affiliated with the group of artists called Taos Modernists.

The Taos Modernists were an influential group of artists who converged on Taos from large east and west coast metropolitan cities between the 1940s and 1960s. Richard Diebenkorn, Edward Corbett, Agnes Martin and other non-objective abstract painters were instrumental in establishing Taos as a trail-blazing arts colony.

DePuy is also recognized in the Southwest for his long friendship and shared environmental activism with the late writer, Edward Abbey. “Ed was the brother I never had. There were many marches and protests that we were involved in and spent many years exploring the Colorado Plateau and Sonoran Desert. We took many, many risks together to protect the earth.” Until he passed at age 96, DePuy upheld the pact he kept with Abbey to fight to protect and conserve the previously wild landscapes of the American Southwest-- one through a paintbrush, the other through a pen. Today, we now see many of these lands the artist painted throughout his career protected by park status or returned to their original caretakers.

JOHN NIETO was one of America’s most dynamic contemporary artists, concentrating on themes that transcended mere representation. He utilized intense primary colors, applied in bold strokes to give dimension and character to the canvas. In his etchings and drawings, Nieto employed classic linear techniques to create images of great detail and depth. In all of Nieto’s art, sensitivity and respect for his subject are projected. He concentrated on capturing in his work his unique vision of the subjects he painted on canvases of vibrant, electric hues. The bold imagery of Nieto’s dynamic style is the essence of his art through which he sought to evoke a reaction or response from the viewer. His art is a synthesis of his philosophy and his technical versatility, a powerful expression of pride and vitality. Nieto was unique among contemporary American artists. His personal philosophies were a vital element of his consummate style. Nieto stated, “I employ a subject matter that is familiar and express it the way I see it”.

Nieto’s distinctive style, a combination of subject matter, bold comparisons and searing color, is instantly recognizable and collectors throughout the United States and abroad prize his work. He has produced bronze sculptures, etchings, lithographs, and silkscreen prints, in addition to drawings in pastel crayons and charcoal. In his later years, however, he was devoted almost exclusively to painting. In 1981 John participated by invitation in the “Salon d’Autumn” at the Grand Palais, Paris, France. In 1989 he mounted a one-man show at the Axis Gallery in Tokyo, Japan. Each summer he had an annual exhibition in Santa Fe, NM at Ventana Fine Art. John Nieto’s family roots ran deep in New Mexico, as it was his ancestral birthplace for more than 300 years.

ED RUSCHA is an American artist that emerged as a Pop Artist in the 1960s. He was born in 1937 in Nebraska and studied at the California Institute for the Arts from 1956 to 1960 under Robert Irwin and Emerson Woelffer. After graduating he traveled around Europe before taking a job as a layout artist in Los Angeles. Ruscha became a part of the Ferus Gallery Group, which represented artists such as John McCracken and Larry Bell and held Andy Warhol's first solo exhibition of his Campbell's Soup Cans.

By the 1960s he was well known for his prints, collages, and paintings. Ruscha's works can be described as stylized representations of American pop culture combined with words and phrases that play with the image and its linguistic meaning. Ruscha works with various different mediums such as graphite, gunpowder, and pastel, to create his word and slogan works. He applies the medium with his "drawing tools", which consist of cotton puffs and Q-Tips. These help him create his renowned smoky and illusive effect. By giving his phrases a "physical voice" he created a deadpan humor that is now synonymous with his work.

In interviews, Ruscha denies that he is inspired by his Southern California upbringing, but the use of large, catchy Hollywood inspired text and California themes seem to be an homage to his roots. In the early 2000s, Ruscha's auction record surpassed $2 million, and then in 2011 his record raised to $4.1 million for his work Strange Catch for a Fresh Water Fish (1965), which was then surpassed in 2014 when the painting titled Smash (1963) sold for over $30 million. His first public work was installed in 2014 in New York City's High Line featuring, Honey, I Twisted Through More Damn Traffic Today, taken from a pastel drawing he created in 1977. Ruscha continues to live and work in Culver City, California.

ALEX KATZ is an American figurative artist best-known for his paintings, prints and sculptures. He attended The Cooper Union in New York from 1946 to 1949 and later studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine from 1949 to 1950. The Skowhegan School cultivated his love for painting through its emphasis on painting en plein air and from life. Katz once stated that natural light was the only way to achieve an objects true color. Every year since the 1950s, Katz has spent the summer painting at his 19th century farmhouse in Maine. He is inspired by the freedom and spontaneity of nature. Katz also drew inspiration from Jackson Pollock's use of space, which lead him to paint an all-over series of trees. Katz's work has been described as an environment the viewers can immerse themselves in.

In the 1980s, Katz had become famous for his "bold simplicity," bright colors and flattened objects, which earned him recognition as a pop artist. The majority of his work is limited to portraits, landscapes/flowers and his wife, Ada, who has been the subject of over 250 of his works. Katz also developed Cutouts, which he paints on panels of wood or aluminum and mounts onto stands or the wall. Alex Katz continues to work in New York and Maine.
