“I like to create an immersive installation,” he relayed in an interview with Visual Atelier 8. “Immersion is a central concept in my work because it gives the viewer new and unusual experiences in art and enriched the world of emotiveness. I am interested in developing multi-sensory creations that stimulate all the senses (sight, hearing, smell).”

Indeed, his art is best experienced live, with his work including holographic imagery, virtual reality installations projected shown on LCD screens and 3D printed sculptures. “I exclusively employ sensors that physically involve one’s body and its mobility in space,” says Chevalier. “Either lived by a spectator on his own or by a group, always creates surprising and unexpected results.”

Aside from being immersive, his work also aims to explore recurrent themes such as nature and artifice, flows and networks, virtual cities and ornate designs. The result is installations that are both playful as they are thought-provoking. Well worth following on Instagram.

But much like his colorfully messy creations, his artwork is hard to categorize or pinpoint exactly. “My work is more related to surrealism and pop-art, which I discovered in school, than to street art or what is known as contemporary art,” he explained in an interview with Design Boom.

Sometimes described as Pop Surrealism meets Street Art, his work, incorporating colorful geometric patterns, portraying anything from animals and human figures to skulls and religious iconography. With his art raging in scale and size, his work also includes massive murals as well as whole buildings transformed into colorful installations. “I love to work on a large scale because it’s more breathtaking and I prefer to select this size of the project,” explained San Miguel.

Incredibly enough, these murals don’t rely on sketches. “I love to draw directly on the walls and keep creating and improvising during the process,” says San Miguel. “I need to see in person the whole architecture and try to play with that.”

“I use feral animals in my work as a metaphor for man’s mismanagement and overuse of the environment,” said Parer in an interview with Kaltblut Magazine. “I am interested in how easily we anthropomorphize to tell our stories without fully acknowledging that we are animals too.”

Based in Tasmania, Parer’s public art takes her around the globe and has so far been exhibited in 100 cities. “I live in an island state in the south of Australia called Tasmania,” says Parer, explaining that “it is a land of great dramatic beauty with moody skies and landscapes and holding narrative qualities that I like to thread in my work. Light coming through the darkness depicts a sense of hope or spirituality.”

Inspired by the dramatic Tasmanian landscape, her artwork explores the natural world, in all its wonder and fragility. A worthy subject in this day and age. Follow her journey on Instagram.

Indeed, her vivid environments mix luminous color and radiant light, provoking a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer. According to West, our understanding of color can only be realized through the presence of light. And so, by playing and adjusting the color, she brings out the intensity and composition of her spatial arrangements.

“My most vivid memories of childhood are based on light and color, not necessarily together but sometimes,” she recalled. “These experiences would be in a car, my dad driving through Barnsley town center, which at the time was lit with incandescent and neon lights. The light was much warmer then, an enticing glow.”

“I was always very perceptive, even as a child, and I would pay attention to the reflections on the floor, particularly on the wet floor so common in the north of England,” added the British artist. “I found it really alluring. I have a lot of memories of being driven about places and being in transit.”

Her work is best experienced in person, but you can also catch glimpses of it on West’s designated Instagram page.

Her murals have a sense of urgency to them, bringing forward phrases and mottos such as: “Together We Stand,” “The Power of Girl,” and “Raise Your Hopes.” Simple, yet powerful, her murals serve as uplifting mantras, a call for action, and a symbol of positivity within the city landscape.

“I have my own practice making paintings and I do commissioned work alongside this – predominantly large-scale public murals,” explained Maciver in an interview with Lecture in Progress. “I also sometimes collaborate with brands on products or campaigns.”

Talking about her work process she added: “I work from my studio above Ridley Road Market in Dalston. Every day looks different depending on what projects I’ve got on. There’s always a lot of admin and answering emails – that doesn’t change. Sometimes I’ll be planning a mural, sometimes reading and writing as research, sometimes contacting suppliers, sometimes I’ll be outdoors painting a mural, sometimes prepping boards to paint. It’s very varied. I also often travel internationally to paint murals, or to exhibit work abroad.”

“I’m not much of a self-promoter,” she admitted. “The large-scale nature of my work has helped in this respect, as it’s like a giant advert for me in a way. Instagram is also helpful, although I have, at times, a tortured relationship with it. If I could, I’d leave it altogether as I find it overwhelming to be confronted with so many images, particularly the highlights of everyone else’s lives and careers – it’s distracting. So now I don’t follow anyone, I just put out what I’m doing as much as I can, which isn’t much.”

With 100k followers on Instagram, it’s a good thing she continues sharing her work, adding a pop of color and positivity to our otherwise bland feeds.

Her series is called Tales of Lipstick and Virtue and she wants to question representations, identity, visual and sexual self-determination, femininity. Anna Ehrenstein asks the question: what makes us authentic?

She has read, studied and reflected extensively on the subject of style, identity, globalization, and bad taste. For her, the idea of vulgarity, clothes, fashion are political. What is considered original or authentic is often linked to contexts and power relations. What is luxury today, was not considered luxury yesterday. High fashion works in cycles, which are repeated. Thus, says the photographer, the African-American hip-hop subculture was picked up by fashion in the 1990s, and is now returning to the heart of the millennial pop culture. Streetwear becomes haute couture, and the elite culture appropriates the popular culture.

And it is also the context of Albania that makes this series interesting, according to the photographer; these photographic tales bear witness to an era, a style, a mixture of globalized influences, local Albanian culture and femininity assumed and claimed, where authentic and extravagant go well together.
