Kim Byungkwan

  

Painter and digital artist Kim Byungkwan deconstruct iconic images of (Hollywood)stars that are imbedded in our cultural consciousness. The smeared recreated images are of a strange beauty, fascinating, and playing with one's mind . Kim wants to change the way we look at these images, rip out the familiarity,
In Kim's words; “My work is trying to destroy, tear up, and reconstruct this habitual vision so that our vision can be expended to other images.”

Meijs

Meijs Motorman, a Dutch company going the extra mile for the environment.
Ronald Meijs; "More than half of the world population lives in
cities where traffic is jammed. That simple fact got my designers mind thinking: which vehicle would be the perfect, most simple solution for city transport? I decided it should be a light electric motorbike. A bike that makes lifelighter and easier, yet elegant and at a high level.
The solution for the city, and a joy in the countryside."

John Malkovich & Sandro Miller

"Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters"
Sandro Miller, a self-taugh photographer, selected 35 images from the masters in the field of photography. An image that made a deep impression and shaped his career.
John Malkovich was all too happy to take part in this project, and it is a fantastic collaboration.
Enjoyable, funny and skilled work."My biggest fear was that people wouldn’t take this project seriously. I didn’t want these to be a parody," Miller said in the statement. "I was serious about paying homage to these photographers and photographs that changed my perspective on photography. These images inspired me throughout my career and developed me into the photographer I am today ... This is my way of saying thank you to the masters that created these amazing images."
