Paul Thierry
Paul Thierry was born in 1960 in Dramatal (Upper Silesia). In Katowice he studied painting and graphics before continuing his education as a master student with Professor Lorenz in Bytom. Residing in Germany since 1987, the artist, who initially preferred the romantic style of painting, now turned to abstract representations. Goal-oriented, he built his career in Germany. He was soon established in the art scene. His works found their way into exquisite collections and are among the showpieces of public institutions. For Paul Thierry, it is the medium of monotype that continues to inspire and stimulate him.

Isabelle Scheltjens
Isabelle Scheltjens has been interested in art since her youth. She studied at SISA, the Antwerp City Institute for Decorative Arts and Crafts. Her husband's glass design inspired Isabelle to work with the same material. It took years of intense practice and juxtaposition of countless pieces of colored glass to refine her method and truly master color theory. She developed a unique glass fusing technique that fuses pieces of glass of different colors, sizes and textures together at about 800°C.

Peppone
Peppone received 500 Tintin albums from his father and is always looking to expand his comic book collection. He describes this collection as his "paper heritage" and uses it "to create artistic encounters with our memories and humanity." Peppone's vibrant sculptures and mixed media works of well-known comic book characters challenge us to question our conventional views of what art should be. In his mixed media works, he places the heroes of our childhood in situations with iconic references, inviting the viewer to recall the strength of certain photographs, films, posters or historical events. In this way, his works penetrate the roots of our cultural memory, which the artist interprets in a new and humorous way.

Bram Reijnders
Anyone who has ever experienced Bram Reijnders in the flesh at a vernissage knows what to expect. The artist is always good for a surprise and knows how to amaze his audience with original ideas and unexpected interludes. This, too, shows that the Dutchman is a true multi-talent whose works are thoroughly authentic, extravagant and autobiographical. One who, in a sense, allows himself to be driven: both by life and by art. This attitude towards life and understanding of art is expressed again and again in his works. The message is: "Feel free - we keep moving, nothing stands still". The depictions play with fictitious parallel worlds of beautiful appearances, of dreams and illusions that are ironically broken. The viewer is in the middle of it all and asks himself the question: what is still reality and where does the illusion begin? The powerful color palette makes the works literally explode, reviving the spirit of Pop Art, as the works radiate energy and rebellion.

Tom Boston
The multi-talented Tom Boston knows no bounds when it comes to design: Raised on art from childhood, classically trained, and endowed with a subtle sense of humor, Boston knows how to set the stage for his works. Aesthetically, he is influenced by Pop Art. In his work he openly admits to strong colorful, sometimes even gaudy accents. He playfully develops his works as a synthesis between commodity aesthetics and comic strip. The colorful donuts and cheerful scenes with protagonists such as Daisy Duck or Bugs Bunny are not only beautiful to look at, but moreover hieroglyphics of the Western lifestyle. He breathes life into his paintings and sculptures through the changing dimensions of his mixed media. His works sharpen our eye for the aesthetics of everyday life and his art puts a smile on our faces.
