BOUDRO

 

Boudro is a young artist born in Sept-les, Quebec in 1967.

Recognized by his signature interpretation of the New York City yellow cab, Boudro’s art consists mostly of the application of caricature, cartoon and the ubiquitous American pop-art style. He uses many post-modern techniques like collage and often refers to historic art movements such as the surrealists and the minimalists. His works are replete with Pop Culture icons and parodies publicity and advertising. His paintings are visually stimulating, joyful and playfully make a commentary on the world. 

CLAW MONEY

 

Claudia "CLAW MONEY" Gold is one of the most prolific public artists, with an unsanctioned art career that dates back to 1989. Gold's CLAW icon became a ubiquitous fixture of NYC's urban sprawl and has since grown to garner international acclaim.

​

Claudia now stands as a recognized artist, influencer, fashion editor, author and designer. She has changed the landscape and set precedents by being the first female artist to do collaborations with big-name companies such as Nike, Mountain Dew, NASCAR, Van's, and Calvin Klein. 

 

CRAIG ALAN

 

Craig's collections run the gamut from abstract expressionism to haunting, graphic realism, each one a reflection of its creator's unique vision. He is most well-known for his Populus series, which drew inspiration from a balcony overlooking Orange Beach, Alabama where patrons enjoying a wedding party seemed to form the shape of an eye where they stood. Craig explains, "Inspiration begins with a 'What if...' as I consider alternate imagery, surfaces, effects, results, etc. It comes from the past in conjunction with now. Like a bolt of lightning."
