POSE
Pose is a contemporary artist based in Chicago, Illinois. Revered for his exceptionally detailed and large-scale graffiti pieces, his work has been described by Shepard Fairey as being “a hybrid of the aesthetics of pop-art, graffiti, sign painting and comics that are all areas of his interest done in his own style”
His art combines the immediacy and vibrancy of comic-book style characters with hidden intricacies and elements of graffiti to produce surreal pastiches of pop-art perfection. In his own words Pose feels “inspired by challenges and uncomfortable territory”, using his immaculate technique and obsessive need to create he's turned his hand to murals, prints, paintings and three-dimensional installations.
A large part of his expertise lies in taking everyday objects from the world around him and morphing their influence into his art, it could be street-signs, pages from his wife's childhood books or elements from cartoons and films, he works with the ordinary and turns it into the noteworthy.
Pose's place in the street-art canon is more assured with every released. Having featured heavily in Saatchi's 'Beyond the streets' exhibition this year and having shown work internationally for over a decade, his work remains as relevant and exceptional as ever.

Kenny Scharf
Kenny Scharf is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, California. He works mainly consist of large-scale installations, sculptures and painted works using aerosol.
Kenny's output and influence cannot be overstated, his loud and unapologetic depictions of alien-like creatures and luminescent, cosmic installations has garnered him a reputation for being one of the most eccentric and distinctive artists of the last 30 years. Much like his contemporary Keith Haring (whom Scharf lived and worked with in New York) his work has bled effortlessly into the modern arts scene, informing and inspiring innumerable artists in his wake. The guiding principle of Kenny's work is to reach out beyond the elitist boundaries of fine art and connect to popular culture through his art.
Kenny Scharf has exhibited internationally with artists such as Basquiat and Keith Haring, and worked with brands such as Dior on capsule collections. His work continues to grow in prestige, having been featured heavily in Saatchi's 'Beyond the streets' exhibition, he remains an essential part of any contemporary art collection.
