He is a self-taught artist who is a celebrated figure for over 30 years in the graffiti art culture. World respected street artist Cope2 is one of today’s leaders in the Urban Art scene. Bridging the gap between contemporary abstract expressionism and street art world, his new work reveals multi-layered vibrant colors and intriguing textures.

Born in Helena, Arkansas, Johnny Taylor currently resides in LA. His interest in drawing led to a job producing a weekly comic strip at age 10. Taylor began painting as a student at the University of Memphis (BFA, Art History, 1996). Inspired by graffiti, hand painted signs, vintage advertising, old movies, Johnny Taylors ‘s art pieces shows a southern folk art influence with an affinity for the Retro/Pop art world. He also likes the look of taking really simple designs and shapes and stacking them, using layering to show fragments of designs.

Clara Fialho (American, b. Brazil) is a New York-based artist.
She received her BFA from the Cooper Union and had her first solo exhibition in Chelsea at age 22. Since then, she has been exhibiting extensively throughout the country and abroad. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including the cover of New York Spaces Magazine. Clara uses bold, bright colors that instinctively attract the eye to her work. Yet on close up exploration, the loose shapes and spirals as well as patterns and details are fascinating.

She attended the California College of the Arts and Crafts in San Francisco; graduated with a BFA in painting and drawing. She has spent the years since school living and working and often moving between Portland, Oregon and Philadelphia. Casey currently lives in Seattle.
