FEFE TALAVERA
Fefe Talaveras monster paintings are metaphors for strong and subconscious human emotions like anger, fear, dreams or desire. The colourful fantastic beasts which she connects with the údark sideù of her inner self stand for the artists cultural roots as well as the primary and powerful energy of her work in the streets all over the world. Born in 1979 Fefe was brought up as a native half Mexican, half Brazilian in Sˆ£o Paulo where she lives until today besides her second home in Madrid, Spain. Interested in all kind of úundergroundù movements, the typical and unique stylistic freedom of the internationally renowned Street Art and Graffiti scene of her hometown made an important impression on the artist. Her raw creative energy thus found much more correspondence in the angled, tribal-like style she developed while working in the streets, than in her studies in fine arts which she finished with a Bachelor at the FAAP in Sˆ£o Paulo. Showing at galleries and accepting certain rules, limits and intolerances of the art market system represent a contradiction for Fefe who is mainly interested in finding public ways to express herself and a common way of communication.
REMED
Remed is a well travelled street artist from Lille, France whose paintings and sculptures seem to be made by a modern-day master. Think Picasso with a street edge. His work is vibrant, graphic and maze-like at times.
They are in Love.
