Miguel was born in 1971 and he lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.

Biography
Miguel Angel Iglesias Fernandez creates idealized urban landscapes, laying paths for the viewer to be immersed in a multicoloured sensory experience in an austere city void of figurative elements. Shadows, light and an exceptional colour palette are the only elements that bring the landscapes alive.
In an increasingly globalised world, Miguel Angel’s cities lack any hint for local identification and they could be seen as a window into an almost perfect urban parallel reality.
An optimist at heart, his sculptural paintings give us a view from above, a view that removes the traps or obstacles that arise from the minutia, from the small problems that create conflict amongst us.
In such way, Miguel Angel steers us in the path of a more hopeful future.
Born in Paris, France, to Spanish immigrants, Miguel Angel moved to Barcelona to study painting. After his studies, he relocated to New York, where the work of abstract expressionism, in particular that of Mondrian and Rothko, had a strong influence on his work.
Miguel Angel returned to Spain where he currently still lives and works.
His trademark cityscapes have been exhibited in Europe, Asia and the USA
He has participated in numerous top international art fairs a.o. in New York, Miami, London, The Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Taiwan, Korea, China and New Delhi.
His works are part of important collections in Spain, including Coleccion Testimonis, Fundacion La Caixa, Fundacion Fran Daurer, Fundacion Vila Casas and Fundacion Francisco Godia.

Ken was born in 1968 and he lives and works in Rehoboth (USA).

He studied art at Alfred University under sculptors Glenn Zweygardt and William Parry.
After college he worked at Hudson Studio, Fine Art Foundry in Niverville (NY), where he did finishing work on cast bronze pieces by William Tucker and Anthony Caro, as well as other artists.
Hudson Studio was in a shared space at the time with sculptor Jon Isherwood and is in close proximity to Triangle Workshop.
Before becoming a Creative Director in Advertising he produced several series of large abstract sculptures.
Now twenty years later, Ken has returned to having a full time studio practice.
He lives and works with his wife of 25 years at Rehoboth (NH).

Stament / Thoughts on my work and process
Whether it’s a personal place, corporate, communal, institutional, I see art as a means of engagement to provoke thought, dialogue, introspection and conversation.
Sculpture for me is an inquiry into the deep mysterious nature of things.
When utilitarian use is taken away from an object, a series of objects or forms, what remains? Another artist once said, ‘Sculpture is a journey of curiosity made visible’ – which I strongly agree with.
I like the idea of taking basic, elemental shapes and inflating them, altering them, stacking and shaping them.
Once I’m done with one piece I usually have ideas for several others.
The amount of variety that can be produced by moving one or 2 shapes through space is amazing. I like taking say 3 basic forms and uncovering all the possibilities of how it can be arranged.
Then there’s material, which adds another layer of interpretation and process.
The visual expression I try to achieve is one that is open to interpretation.
In one piece someone may see something playful or whimsical and in another it may feel strange. Think of these huge, non utilitarian forms, set down in the midst of our busy world, which accelerates even more every year.
The sculpture may get in your way and/or may interrupt your path.
Does it make you stop?
Does it make you wonder?
Whether the work is large scale, or a smaller more intimate piece, my work is about placemaking, creating work that responds to the space around it and creating delight.
In a world where imagination is often the first element of humankind to be ignored, or tread into the ground, I seek to exalt what we are capable of making.
Why be content with the commonplace, or to step back and watch machines, or corporations replicate what is around us in a way that doesn’t acknowledge our existence, our lives, what makes us human?
I hope my work compels and inspires you, and pushes you to go beyond.

James was born in 1996 and he lives and works in Laikipia, Kenya.

Biography
James Lewin is an internationally acclaimed photographic artist based in Kenya. He has built a reputation for creating timeless masterpieces that bring a unique perspective into the lives of some of the world’s most iconic inhabitants.
Entirely self-taught, Lewin picked up a camera after working with anti-poaching and research units on the front line of conservation in Kenya. Soon after, he abandoned a real estate career in London to pursue his passion for wildlife with his camera in hand. Lewin has since received more than 25 international awards for his evocative work.
Lewin has spent nearly a decade exploring remote areas of Africa, following his subjects for weeks, waiting patiently for extraordinary compositions that will likely never reoccur. All his photographs are of wild animals in their natural habitats, with multiple artworks captured within a few feet of his subjects using customised vehicles or on foot. The captivating levels of intimacy, emotion and drama allow the viewer to experience his subjects’ magnificence and unique characters. His artistic approach aims to engage people and inspire new appreciation and respect towards the natural world.
Lewin’s work has raised substantial figures for conservation projects across Africa, which has helped safeguard wildlife corridors, protect Africa’s last “Big Tuskers” and critically endangered black rhino, and, more recently, multi-media campaigns to promote coexistence. Since 2023, he has partnered with Wild Africa Fund, with 20% of proceeds directly supporting their projects across Africa.
Realising the ever-growing need to tread lightly on our fragile planet, Lewin supports community-focused carbon projects in Africa to ensure his adventures are carbon-neutral whilst ensuring indigenous forests and habitats are restored.

Jeffrey was born in 1944 and he lives and works in New York, USA.

Biography
Woodstock, NY based photographer, architect and pilot Jeffrey Milstein was born in the Bronx (New York) and has had a love for aircraft since childhood. After graduating in 1968 in Architecture from the University of CA, Berkeley, he practiced as an architect before turning to photography in 2000. Milstein earned his pilot’s license at 17 and his passion for flight led to his well known typology of aircraft photographed from below while landing. He is known for his aerial shots of cities, as well as his photos of aircraft mid-flight. In 2007 the work was presented in a solo show at the Ulrich Museum of Art in 2008 in a year long solo show at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in 2012. In 2016 it was on display at the Brandts Museum in Odense, Denmark. In recent years Milstein has reversed the direction of the camera creating award winning unique aerial images of man-made landscapes that are iconic and emblematic of the modern world. The National History Museum of Los Angeles County opened a permanent installation in 2017 which included a large-scale reproduction of Milstein’s aerial photograph of Beverly Hills. His aerial photograph of Newark Airport is a cover image for the catalog accompanying the traveling FEP exhibition Civilization, The Way We Live Now. Abrams published Milstein’s aircraft work as a monograph in 2007, Monacelli published his extensive body of work from Cuba as a monograph in 2010 and Thames and Hudson published LA NY, a collection of aerial photographs of LA and NY in 2017. His work has been collected by museums including LACMA, the Smithsonian Museum, the George Eastman House, the Portland Museum of Art, and the Akron Art Museum.

Michael was born in 1966 and he lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Biography
In his artwork Michael Najjar takes a complex critical look at the technological forces shaping and drastically transforming the early 21st century.
Najjar’s photographic and video works exemplify and draw on his interdisciplinary understanding of art. In his artistic practice he fuses art, science, and technology into visions of future social structures emerging under the impact of cutting-edge technologies.

Born in Landau, Germany, Najjar attended the Bildo Academy of Media Art in Berlin from 1988 – 1993, where he was trained in the practices of conceptual and interdisciplinary art.
During this time he immersed himself in the visionary theories of media philosophers such as Vilém Flusser, Paul Virilio and Jean Baudrillard which have markedly influenced his later work.

Working in distinct series, since the mid-nineties Najjar has embraced different genres of photography using a wide range of technological approaches.
He has expanded conventional ways of addressing the medium by pushing the traditional limits and reformating our understanding of photography.
His work continually interrogates the relationship between reality and its representation in the technical image.
His practice addresses the fundamental question of what reality means in an increasingly virtualized and simulated world.
In his digital composites layers of information coexist seamlessly while indexical reference to reality is relinquished in favor of an image of its own artistic value.
The monumental scale of Michael Najjar´s prints coupled with their enormous richness of detail envelops viewers, stimulating their visual senses and creating a truly immersive experience.
They are a pure medium of reflection – in the double sense of the word.
Michael Najjar has the fascinating ability to transform complex high-tech issues into artworks which not only address the scientific issues but also the formal and aesthetic questions inherent in the technical image.

Najjar’s work is grouped in thematic series.
The variety of themes covered ranges from transformation of global megacities through compaction of information networks (netropolis, 2003 – 2006), depictions of the human body transformed by biogenetic intervention (bionic angel, 2006 – 2008) and virtualization of financial markets with smart algorithms (high altitude, 2008 – 2010) to the future of the human species through space exploration (outer space, since 2011).
The performative aspect of his artistic practice has shifted into sharper focus since the start of his outer space series.
In his earlier series the artist climbed to the tops of skyscrapers, and scaled Mount Aconcagua, one of the highest mountains in the world in a perilous expedition lasting several weeks; for his current space series he has now become one of Virgin Galactic´s Pioneer Astronauts and will soon be flying into space on board the privately owned SpaceShipTwo.
Once more, the artist will be exposing himself to extreme experiences and testing his mental and physical limits in highly complex technical environments. Such borderline experience informs his unique photo and video artworks.
Najjar uses his own body as a performance medium – the artist as space (ad)venturer.

For the past 25 years Najjar´s work has been subject of prominent solo and group shows at international institutions.
Harald Szeemann exhibited his work in 2004 in The Beauty of Failure / The Failure of Beauty at the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona.
His work formed part of the 2006 Venice Biennale’s 10th International Architecture Exhibition, the 9th Havana Biennale 2006 and the 2007 Convergence Biennale Beijing.
In 2008, a large-scale, overview was presented at the Museum for Contemporary Art GEM in The Hague.
In 2011 he participated in the milestone exhibition Atlas – How to carry the world on one´s back, shown at the Museo Reina Sofía, the ZKM Museum for Contemporary Art and the Deichtorhallen / Phönixhallen Hamburg.
In 2015 he was a selected artist at the ZKM | Globale where work from his current outer space series was shown in the groundbreaking exhibition Exo-Evolution curated by Peter Weibel.
In 2017 he participated at the 7thth International Moscow Biennale curated by Yuko Hasegawa.

Najjar has also exhibited at the following national and international museums, institutions and galleries: National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, Auckland Art Gallery in Auckland, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, National Museum of Science in Taipeh, Tretjakow Gallery in Moscow, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Science Museum in London, Museum of Art in Tucson, Berman Museum of Art in Philadelphia, New Media Art Institute in Amsterdam, FORMA International Centre for Photography in Milan, Museo Palazzo del Monte in Padua, Centre pour l´image contemporaine in Geneva, Museo DA2 in Salamanca, Centro de Arte Contemporaneo in Málaga, Museo Es Baluard in Palma de Mallorca, Academy of Arts in Berlin, Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Galerie der Gegenwart in Hamburg, Deichtorhallen – International Museum of Photography in Hamburg, Marta Museum in Herford and Edith Russ Site for Media Art in Oldenburg.

His work regularly features in a broad array of international publications.

Remi was born in 1960 and he lives and works in Paris, France.

Biography
Photographer, but above all an artist. Devoted almost exclusively to his personal research since 2009, he asks us about the future of our society through his other passion, women.

He grew up in Paris surrounded by artists and actors in an era when nothing was considered impossible. He is inspired by sadness and emotion. That is why his models sometimes look like disjointed dolls but they can never be mistaken for toys. Their gaze is so intense. They are not dead, quite the contrary. They are so strong that nothing seems able to reach them. They seem to be distancing themselves from the audience and displaying an indifference to the world they are posing in.

These women are not objects, but inquisitors who seem to be asking us what we have done to the world.

His work dares to dwell in broken, stark and dirty places to draw out the story of a naked soul seemingly stumbled upon. He examines the dichotomy of his subjects’ sensuality and dejection, and from that examination he creates a narrative colored by his own intimate experience with life and society’s heartbreaks.

If creativity comes from an acute sense for finding beauty in places overlooked, Remi exemplifies a true artist’s daring to explore humanity in stark expanses of nature and luckless wastelands. His bold photographic encounters with female dwellers of such spaces invests him with a deep palette of stories to tell. Personal analysis and expression of the world around him enriches his camera eye, asking us to look upon the perplexing co-existence of female sensuality and estrangement that may be the future of our social fabric.

Masaharu was born in Oita, Japan in 1973 and died in 2019.

Biography
Having studied oil painting in Japan, the artist soon turns towards digital techniques.
Based on photographs, he draws the motifs with a so-called digital pen by tracing the images. Afterwards, the original photo data is erased. The artist’s highly developped technique and the fact that the digital painting does indeed not show any brush strokes or other traditional painterly characteristics, makes it impossible to distinguish exactly between photography and painting, whereas the blurred line between the painterly and the photographic is throughly intended.
Masaharu Sato’s images depict situations from everyday life, although the wellknown scenes are often disturbed by small, irritating details.
A young adolescent is reading a book and flames are licking at the pages, a naked couple is sitting on the sofa in the lobby of a grand hotel, a wig creeps out a plastic bag that is lying on the street.
The often surreal details are disquieting, and they may indicate, that we do not participate in everyday’s life, but rather in a dream.

In his series Avatar, Sato has added an animation to his drawings.
Portraits of his friends, each and one in different surroundings, are shown on eleven screens. Synchronically, they are looking at first to the side, slowly turn towards the viewer and then turn their head away again; these sequences are being constantly repeated.
The title Avatar refers mainly to the Hindu mythology, which calls incarnated gods avatars.
Masaharu Sato finds such incarnations in everybody, regardless what origin, looks or mind.
He chooses the different scenarios in a way, that the bodies of the depicted people are always hidden by any kind of requisites.
Reduced to the head bearing neutral mimics, the viewer is dependent on the surrounding to reveal the people’s characters.

Max was born in 1999 and he lives and works in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Born in Lviv, Ukraine, Max began his foray into the world of art surrounded by parents who established numerous significant art and cultural projects in Ukraine and founded the Gerdan art gallery in Lviv. Max pursued his studies in architecture at Lviv Polytechnic National University. During this period, he collaborated with architects and designers from around the world, working as a visual artist to bring their visions to life through digital renderings. Max earned his Master of Architecture in 2020.

In 2019, Max was invited to The Netherlands by a Dutch company, marking his entry into the captivating realm of 3D animation. Here, he crafted digital experiences for renowned global brands. Constantly delving into imaginary worlds, he crafts aesthetically intriguing pieces. One of his standout animations was showcased at NFT NYC in 2022. That same year, Max was invited by Domestika to teach a 3D animation course.

During the onset of a full-scale Russian invasion, Max, committed to supporting Ukrainians, teamed up with Spatial to create a virtual “Peace Pavilion”. This space exhibited the works of prominent creators, including Ringo Starr, Krista Kim, and Vogue Singapore. All the proceeds from this endeavor were directed towards aiding Ukrainians.

With a diverse palette of techniques and mediums at his disposal, he crafts pieces that stand at the intriguing crossroads of the ephemeral world of bits and bytes and the tangible realm we inhabit. His goal is to immerse viewers in a sensory journey, evoking deep-seated emotions and sparking sensory reactions. In every creation, Max invites his audience to experience a world where the digital and physical seamlessly intertwine

DRIM
DRIM is a striking sculpture that captures the essence of a boy with big dreams, living in a complex and intricate world. It features a boy, wearing an astronaut helmet and jet pack, a symbol of his intelligence and ambition. The world around him is full of distractions and challenges, but the helmet offers him a place of solitude and protection. His feet clad in fashionable shoes. The boy’s hands are tucked away in his pockets, and his belly speaks to his comfort-loving ways.

Not all those who wander are lost. 

– J.R.R. Tolkien

Robert was born in 1968 and he lives and works in Marshfield, WI, USA
