David Chong Lee

Born in South Korea, David was already an adult when he went to the USA to amplify his skills in the fine arts field. With a degree from San Francisco's Art University he then followed a path that would lead to an unique style.

Mixing a lot of different tools and techniques, from sculpture to graphic design, from collage to classic inspirations from artists like Van Gogh or Sukdo, David's work is intriguing but, at the same time, a display of boldness and striking passion that has made a mark in the numerous exhibitions, books, spots and minds of those who have been fortunate to watch it.

ROA|MR.PRVRT

ROA

From Belgium to the world, ROA's work brought new meaning to the expression urban jungle. His animal figures have made an impact wherever and whenever they are found, keeping us in check for such impressive figures.

If you have a taste for such a different kind of wildlife, you might want to check out ROA's first exhibition in the UK, starting April 8th. It might not be the same as going to Kruger Park, but you'll surely get the chance to see animals like you've never seen them before.

Mr. Prvrt

Enjoying the work of a Prvrt. That might sound odd, but there’s nothing strange about it if you’re talking about Mr. Prvrt’s fine art. Based in Rochester, NY but present across the USA and places so distant as Malaysia, Australia, the UK or Germany, his work has a range as wide as the definition of a prvrt.

Part of the wellknown FUA Krew collective, but also collaborating with Sweet Meat Co. and Potty Mouth Crew, Mr. Prvrt has kept his hands and his mind busy, putting out in the street clothing, canvas, and lots of fresh design and approach to feast your eyes.

So, the next time you hear about some Prvrt work down the street, think twice. It might just worth to check it out.

SPECTER | MIKE BALLARD AKA CEPT

Specter

Specter says he found it's way to fine arts through grafitti in a journey that started more than a decade ago in Canada. Since then he has shown us that in the streets inspiration can be anywhere. Either from cardboard gates or through the eyes of a homeless man, Specter created an array of pieces and different looks to what we can define as street art.
Even now, in one of his latest work, down in Brooklyn, NYC, we see that he keeps a message right next to his talent - in a higher level.

Mike Ballard aka Cept

Between street art and fine art there can be a thin line. Or, in Mike Ballard's perspective, an interesting blending, or even a double identity, that leads to innovative work. His approach is wide and it can mix Caravaggio and NASA, as in his last exhibition, or go for the purest street language as in some of his earlier pieces.

In an interview, Mike said "cave paintings, through spitted pigment are, in a way, the first form of grafitti work". Since then imagination and ar

tists like Mike have never ceased to amaze us.
