ARTISTS BIOS
About Tim Conlon
Tim Conlon is an artist best known for his large-scale paintings, murals, and sculptures. Conlon often depicts weathered freight trains adorned with graffiti in his photorealistic pieces. His work has been featured in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Corcoran Museum, as well as BEYOND THE STREETS exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, London and Shanghai. He has been featured in numerous exhibitions, museums, and art fairs around the globe. In 2020 his work was featured in Sotheby’s first ever hip-hop auction. The following year he produced Rolling Like Thunder, a documentary for SHOWTIME about the freight train graffiti culture. He lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
About Martha Cooper
An American photojournalist born in 1943 in Baltimore, Maryland, Martha Cooper worked as a staff photographer for the New York Post during the 1970s. She is best known for documenting the New York City graffiti scene of the 1970s and 1980s and is a co-author of the 1984 book Subway Art.
About Paul Insect
Paul Insect made a name for himself as one of London’s original street-art trailblazers, first in 1996 with his collective, Insect, which created flyers for raves and parties in the East End. He then broke out as an individual artist with his first solo show in 2007. His gallery work takes the form of abstract portraits in distant landscapes, mixing his street aesthetics with bold colors, Pop imagery and puppetry.
About Felipe Pantone
Felipe Pantone is an Argentinian-Spanish artist. He started doing graffiti at the age of 12, eventually graduating with a Fine Art degree in Valencia, Spain, where his studio is currently based. Pantone evokes a spirit in his work that feels like a collision between an analog past and a digitized future, where human beings and machines will inevitably glitch alongside one another in a prism of neon gradients, geometric shapes, optical patterns, and jagged grids. His work deals with dynamism, transformation, digital revolution, and themes related to the present time. Pantone works on various forms of software, which is then translated into frescoes, murals, paintings, and sculptures, giving tactile merit to what’s occurring in the digital world. His applications are diverse and united by the intersection of technology and fine art.
About POSE
Jordan Nickel, aka POSE, is a Chicago-based artist and forerunner of the city’s golden age of graffiti. He is a modern pop artist who creates works that range from large-scale murals to intricate bodies of work. While his work relies on harnessing very simple human emotions like love, loss and triumph, it’s presented in a complex union of vivid colors and layered application that aims for something much more profound than what’s at the literal, surface level. POSE’s diversity as a visual artist is apparent in grandiose outdoor settings through large-scale murals to the intricate bodies of work developed within his studio.
