Blalla Wolfgang / Wolfgang Ewald Hallmann was a German painter and graphic artist. He deals with fundamental existential questions (religion, sexuality, ...) in a drastic, both blasphemous and obscene manner. Formally, it moves between surrealism, outsider art (Art Brut), folk art and numerous references to art history. In the 1980s, the cycle of "horror pictures" was created. In addition to other techniques, the reverse glass painting known from folk art is characteristic of him. In 1995/1996 Hallmann produced a series of 149 sheets of woodcuts in which he recapitulated his own career under the title “The Way, the Truth and Life”. He was a member of the artist trio around Herbert Haberl and Bernd Wangerin. In 1965 he was a founding member of a traveling theater that later became “Hoffmanns Comic Teater”. Members of this group later formed the rock band Ton Steine Scherben.
Peter Heesch is a German painter and abstractionist sculptor.
Heesch studied at the Berchtesgaden School of Wooden Sculpture and trained in Zimbabwe and Norway. Since 1995 he has been working in Munich, where, in addition to his own works, he also carries out commissions in wood, stone and bronze in his studio. The artist treats the material with great respect and sensitivity, and mainly creates sculptures in wood and stone. Heesch strives for symbiosis, a unity of material, form and expression. In his self-expression, the sculptor moves between the figurative and the abstract. His motifs are often animals as well as pairs of concepts such as movement-rest, light-heavy, air-water, hard-soft.
Peter Heesch participates in solo and group exhibitions.

Wolfgang Herzig was an Austrian painter and sculptor known for his critical portrayal of social realities. In his figurative paintings he draws attention to human weaknesses in everyday life.
There is a sense of social criticism in Herzig's work, but he never turns his characters into caricatures. Over time, the artist came to a peculiar two-dimensional form of plastics.
Franz Hitzler is a German painter, graphic artist and sculptor, one of the artists of the Spur movement, living and working in Munich.
He studied painting at the art school in Augsburg and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and founded his own studio in Asbach-Beumenheim in 1963. Hitzler's work is not cheerful, despite all its colorfulness. Color overtakes the viewer in menacing flashes. Figurative elements depict grimaces or monsters, often combined with forms of classical Christian iconography such as the crucifixion.
Hitzler is one of Germany's strongest and most important artists, with major museum exhibitions in Germany and the United States and book-catalogues from renowned art publishers. His work is widely represented in many public and private collections, especially in graphic arts museums.

Ana Mercedes Hoyos was a Colombian painter, sculptor and a pioneer in modern art in the country. In her half-century of artistic works, she garnered over seventeen awards of national and international recognition. Beginning her career in a Pop Art style which moved towards abstract, her trajectory moved toward cubism and realism as she explored light, color, sensuality and the bounty of her surroundings. Her reinterpretations of master painters led her to an exploration of Colombian multiculturalism, and her later works focused on Afro-Colombian and mestizo heritage within the Colombian landscape.
