<b>BRADLEY THEODORE&nbsp;</b><div><b><br></b><div><i>Marie Antoinette in the coral gardens&nbsp;</i></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>34 x44.5 inches	</div><div><br></div><div>acrylic on cold press paper&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>2025</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Born in Turks and Caicos, Bradley Theodore is a contemporary artist who started his career in New York City and has been an internationally-inclined artist and collaborator from his very beginnings. Having worked in the tech and design sector after his graduation from the School of Visual Arts, Theodore eventually moved back to New York where his artistic career took off. With roots in graphic design, Theodore’s beginnings as an artist came from adorning the streets of New York City with vibrant, chromatic murals of skeletons depicting contemporary pop culture and fashion “royalty.” Bradley Theodore is known for his colorful depictions of icons. He is a multi-disciplinary artist whose iconoclastic approach to art can be found internationally, from 10-foot murals on the streets of Tokyo, Paris and Milan, to sold-out solo exhibitions in London, Tokyo and NYC. Evoking the universality of color, skeletons, and celebrity, Theodore distills figures to skeletal forms, a confrontation that the artist calls “an act of living”, pushing color to express memory, emotion, and lived experiences. Theodore’s portraits juxtapose the legendary and mortal qualities of modern and contemporary icons and the artist has become a staple in the art and fashion scene in New York City.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Theodore has collaborated with popular artists and brands on creative projects for Puma, Waldorf Astoria, Haig Club, Moët, Rolls-Royce, Lego, and Moleskine. In 2016, Bradley was the official artist for the US Open, where he created four murals on display at the tournament's venue; and was the subject of independent film “Becoming: Bradley Theodore”, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. In 2017, Google invited Theodore to their Artist in Residence program (AiR), where he employed the tech giant’s Tilt Brush tool to create art in another dimension. In 2018 for the 50th anniversary of PUMA’s iconic Suede sneaker, Theodore designed a limited edition shoe which was followed by a full collection of sneakers, garments and accessories for the streetwear giant’s Spring Summer 2019 offering. More recently in 2020 Theodore partnered with LEGO as an official artist for the LEGO Dots campaign, and created a limited edition series of bottles for HAIG Whisky and David Beckham. 2022-23 saw collaborations with the Waldorf Astoria, Snapple and Project Zero.</div></div>

<b>MAURO PERUCCETTI</b><div><br></div><div><i>SUPERFICI	</i></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Mixed Media</div><div><br></div><div>93 x 93 cm&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>2025</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>A Pop artist for the 21st Century, Mauro Perucchetti addresses pressing societal issues and conveys the pulse of contemporary culture: Barbie, Sex and the City, and the global economy have all found their way into his artwork. For instance, the birth of Dolly, the first cloned animal, and the ensuing debate over the ethics of cloning, prompted him to create “Jelly Babies”, figurines bearing resemblance to the Pillsbury Doughboy that serve as a metaphor for cloned human beings. Like Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, and Piero Manzoni, whom his work playfully references, Peruchetti uses bright colors, recognizable shapes, and smooth shiny surfaces to entice his viewers. Perucchetti has worked with diverse materials, ranging from Swarovski crystals to steel, but over five years developing his technique of working with pigmented resin has made it his signature. To paint in 3D, the former architect turned contemporary artist let nature inspire him to create luscious textural surfaces that immerse the viewer in a sea of colours, shadows and highlights. His groundbreaking approach coupled with a vibrant palette give the effect of an organic, living topography that pulls the viewer in and allows one to have a different experience every time a Perucchetti 3D painting is seen. Viewers marvel in the fact each of his SUPERFICI artworks never look the same twice, much like the wonder of nature that it honors and celebrates. Ultimately, SUPERFICI is Perucchetti’s love letter to nature, one that reaffirms his commitment to using his art to help protect it.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><i>"Addressing climate change is crucial now more than ever. Seeing surfaces of earth, caves, volcano eruptions, coral reefs eroding, deforestation and wildfires, we need to respect planet earth. Being in nature has always been my heaven on earth." </i>Mauro Peruccetti</div>

He emerged in the 1990s as part of the iconoclastic group of Young British Artists and is best known for his unusual, organic media: He’s made art from frozen flowers, slides of human DNA, and—in his self-portraits—his own frozen blood. Quinn has also embraced provocative subject matter and made monumental depictions of disabled and transgender subjects. Quinn studied art history at the University of Cambridge and has exhibited in London, New York, Paris, Milan, Seoul, Tokyo, and other cities. His work belongs in the collections of the Tate, the Centre Pompidou, the Stedelijk Museum, the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.</div><p></p>

<p><b>MANUELA ZERVUDACHI</b></p><div><br></div><div><i>Potato Coral	</i></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Manuela Zervudachi was born in London on July 15, 1963, to an Irish mother and a Greek father. Since childhood, Manuela has chosen sculpture as a means of expression. She then moved to New York in the 1980s to study at the Parsons School of New York, where she primarily learned metal working. After the United States, Manuela moved to Tuscany in 1988, to Pietra Santa, a true Mecca of sculpture, home to a dozen of the world's best bronze foundries. In this legendary place, Manuela followed the teachings of her master, the sculptor Fiore de Henriquez, who taught her for three years to discover the alchemical dimension of lost wax casting and bronze.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Living with her family in Paris since 1991, Manuela Zervudachi regularly exhibits in London, Paris, and Switzerland. Her work reveals her fascination with the state of humanity in its environment. She has worked successively around the themes of tarot, the symbolism of the body, time, and seeds. At the same time, Manuela regularly collaborates with interior designers and collectors to create commissioned pieces.</div><div><br></div><div><i>"The seabed and coral reefs re a sculptors paradise with such incredible volumes, which is truly inspiring.  This piece is an edition of 11/8 wth 4 artist proofs.  This one is 1/8." - Manuela Zervudachi&nbsp;</i></div><p></p>

From his studio in Lille, France, the Moroccan-born artist infuses his canvases with warmth and joy, shunning dark tones. His art reflects his desire to explore new places, with vibrant colors and light defining his style. Touils’s challenging upbringing forged him into a resilient self-taught artist, split between Morocco and France during his childhood. From a tender age, he shouldered responsibilities beyond his years, laboring to support his family instead of attending school. His move to Lille at age 18 marked a pivotal moment, igniting his determination to overcome adversity through art. Inspired by Impressionists like Monet and Van Gogh, Touils employs acrylic, spray, and oil paints to construct vibrant layers on canvas. His brushstrokes, reminiscent of his idols, evoke feelings of joy and tranquility.</div><p></p>
