Modern and Contemporary art — (Hi)storytelling
David John Shrigley is a British visual artist. He lived and worked in Glasgow, Scotland for 27 years before moving to Brighton, England in 2015. Shrigley first came to prominence in the 1990s for his distinct line drawings, which often deal with witty, surreal and darkly humorous subject matter and are rendered in a rough, almost childlike style. Alongside his illustration work, Shrigley is also a noted painter, sculptor, filmmaker and photographer, and has recorded spoken word albums of his writing and poetry.
Romero Britto is a Brazilian artist, painter, serigrapher, and sculptor. He combines elements of cubism, pop art, and graffiti painting in his work, using vibrant colors and bold patterns as a visual expression of hope, dreams, and happiness.
Fumie Sasabuchi is a Japanese artist living and working in Berlin.
Fumie studied painting at Tama Art University in Tokyo and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. The artist flirts with the theme of death, depicting human entrails and bones with anatomical precision on the surface of the skin of the depicted person, in the form of tattoos. Sasabuchi's work is based on photographs from fashion magazines or horror movies, which she reworks in her own style.
Perhaps some of the motifs in Fumie Sasabuchi's work have roots in Japanese Yakuza culture. Juxtaposed with the European taboo theme of depicting death, the result of her work may shock or at least amaze.
Marcel Mouly was a French artist who painted in an abstract style.
Mouly's style was influenced by the deep, bold colors typically used in Matisse's fauvist works, and by the cubism of Picasso. Beginning in the mid-1950s, Mouly created many lithographs.
Marcel Mouly's work has been exhibited all over the world, including in the permanent collections of more than 20 museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in Japan, the Museum of Geneva, the Museum of Modern Art in Helsinki, and Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale. He has also been the subject of numerous books, and recognized by such honors as the Chevalier de L'Orde des Arts et Lettres (1957) and the Premier Prix de Lithographie (1973).
