Sam Lo/ ‘SKL0’

Sam Lo/ ‘SKL0’ is a visual artist based in Singapore with humble beginnings as an urban artist. Dubbed the "Sticker Lady"- a nickname given by the city in reference to the saga that was birthed from their work in the streets in 2012, Sam responds to the environment from which the work is created. Careful consideration is given to the context, setting, history and sensibilities of the subject matter in order to properly communicate and express its essence. This sensitivity and method of storytelling proves to be the artist’s strength, with the same sensibilities applied across different mediums from large scale murals to detailed illustrations to delicately hand-sculpted sculptures. Coupled with the artist’s signature style of vibrant colours and complex compositions, Sam’s pieces strive to illustrate the fabric of our society through art.

Fusing the visual language of graffitti, a product of Hip Hop culture, and traditional calligraphy, MAMI has established her own sense of style - ʻCalligraf2ity.ʼ Through her solo exhibitions and performances, her unique expression has circled the globe, starting from Japan and extending to other parts of Asia, and to Europe, America, Africa, and Australia. Currently, she is located in her native Japan, in Tokyo while she travels the world to share her distinctive style.

Yuya Hashizume

Yuya Hashizume

Yuya Hashizume creates works of art which reference the expressionistic style of Japanese manga. One of his most noted works, "eyewater," has won the acclaim of many fans here in Japan and abroad. Yuya was attracted to the act of kinetic motion generated by human "engines of simple, physical strength," and "motors of vigor and spiritual power," to propel those masses of steel and iron (although nowadays they are made of carbon as well) called bicycles. He has twice experienced the journey of traveling from Harajuku to Okayama (over the course of about a week) with a friend on a bicycle during his early twenties.

I once dreamed that I would be an artist. That dream has changed into becoming a comic artist, animation director, and finally just to be a person who “survived by painting.” I don’t know whether this dream is even more difficult to achieve, but the one thing I know for sure is that I’m getting happier. I hope my pictures inspire happiness in others. 2017
