Stratos Kalafatis (b. 1966, Greece) is a Greek photographer creating narrative photo projects.
With the use of the medium, square format, the artist uses a palette of saturated colors, imposing seductively the flash even during daylight. His photographs are parts of short stories, with seemingly different destinations having disposed of the myth and plot.

Jonathan Meese (b.1970, Tokyo) appeared on the international art scene back in 1998 and is now one of the contemporary art world’s most enigmatic, seductive and rebellious figures. He is renowned for his multi-faceted work, including wildly exuberant paintings that mix personal hieroglyphics and collage, installations, ecstatic performances, and a powerful body of sculptures in a variety of media.
At the core of his work remains an unrelenting sense of history, based on intimate drawings, symbols and objects which form the mythological universe of his life’s work, drawing in the innocent by-stander almost by force

Rallou Panagiotou (b.1978, Greece) creates sculptural topologies with composite materiality and formal conciseness. Assembled from highly mediated fragments of built environments, anatomized commodities and traces of gestures, her work collapses distinctions between different orders of objects and technologies via a currency of emotions.

Kostas Sahpazis (b.1979, Greece) uses volatile materials but each time with a creatively transgressing way, approaching their limits.

Christiana Soulou (b.1961, Greece) drawings are characterized by sensitivity and an almost academic rigor, commenting upon the human condition. Her works examine an inner world that is constantly moving and obeying the whims of human mood. In her works one can easily observe a particular attention to mental and psychological states, and a direct relationship with dance and theater. Her drawings seem to deal with and continue a tradition dating back to the puppet show of Heinrich Kleist and reach the work of Oskar Schlemmer and Hans Bellmer.

His work is both modern and “primitive” conceptual and physical, focusing on the concern for both the finished work of art and the process of its completion.
Wim Delvoye

Gilbert & George
Over the past forty years, Gilbert & George (Gilbert, b. Dolomites,1943 & George, b. England,1942) have challenged many controversial themes, among others: race, sex, death, religion, with performance, film, photography and their large-scale vibrantly colored photographic grids. In their epic group of postcard art «The Urethra Postcard Pictures» , they address both a modern urban world and a sexual society that is humorously marginalized within that world.
