Interview with DAN23

After spending several years painting musical artists with watercolors, Dan23 opened in 2006 his own gallery in Strasbourg. His first steps as a solo performer making live-paintings then appeared to be more on concerts and music festival stages throughout the world than in his own gallery. In 2013, he decides to quit the stages in order to get more involved into the streets and the urban environment, painting bright portraits, each of them dedicated to a particular song and representing all the significant encounters he made in his life. The Β« Tour Paris 13 Β» project in which he got involved, eventually gave him the recognition. Finally, the street-art gallery Mathgoth in Paris offers him the opportunity to make a solo-performance in 2014.

Interview with RedApe

Red Ape is a painter, graphic designer and sculptor. His work essentially revolves around portraits of people and society. His approach is simple; the words and the actions leave permanent traces which we then carry with us for life, like tattoos. He likes to toy with graphic conventions, with the visual universe to make it serve his own creations. For this reason, he creates series of portraits as nude fragments of tattooed bodies which tell a story of the traces left by the society, the world.

Interview with Serge Gay Jr.

Spanning across multiple genres and styles, Serge depicts musical icons who have either influenced him artistically or had some sort of personal impact on his life. From Bowie to Jay Z, Serge’s new body of work has a flowing melodic feel to it, indicative of whatever music influenced each painting’s creation. The trademark feverish surrealism still remains however each work has a poignant composition and style incredibly emblematic of whatever musical genre it stems from. Themes of lost love, identity and hope are depicted through the energetic brush strokes and eccentric whimsey rendered in his work.

Interview with DC Langer

Brooklyn born DC Langer was born an artist. She began painting as a child along side her artist mother, to fuel her growing creativity, or perhaps to stop her from talking so much, or eating all day. DC's energy is clearly seen in her art-- the colors bounce clear off the canvas. Her fascination with light and dynamic color has formed the foundation for her art. Her keen color perception is called "synaesthesia", which is the innate fusion of the senses--something that is shared with only one in 250,000 people. DC's first commissioned assignment, at age 13, was the design of a 48'x14' New York City billboard, giving her international exposure. Many jobs followed, propelling DC into a career as an illustrator and fine artist. A graduate of Boston's School of the Museum of Fine Arts,DC's work has been shown around the world and has won international acclaim in various competitions, including The Society of Illustrators, Art Direction Magazine and Studio Magazine's Silver Award.
