Jason was born in 1981 and he lives and works in Adelaide, Australia.

Biography
Jason Sims is an Australian artist who works in the realm of perceptual art.
Utilising the properties of light and reflection, he creates simple illusions of space in the form of contemporary sculpture, large-scale installation and public art.
Blurring the lines between reality and illusion, Sims’ captivating work defies notions of physical possibility.

Sims is most interested in producing work that serves as a vehicle to re-imagine the space encountered – to deconstruct perceived physical limitations – and facilitate a kind of meditative response allowing viewers to interpret the illusion of space created as reality.
He particularly enjoys working with illusion for its ability to evoke the sublime and its power to interrogate our understanding of the world around us.

Since graduating with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) from the University of South Australia in 2006, Sims has exhibited across Australia, and in Hong Kong, the USA and Europe.
His work is held in public and private collections around the world, and he recently completed his second major public artwork in Adelaide, South Australia.

Paul was born in 1968 and he lives and works in Launceston, Tas, Australia.

Biography
Snell’s practice employs digital techniques to explore abstraction and minimalism within photo-based media.
Assembled primarily with chromatic prints mounted on plexiglass, each work investigates the scope of photographic-based work by manipulating digital colour fields to develop new and experimental visual forms.
Each series explores the values of unique colour relationships through aspects of repetition, rhythm, amalgamation and sequence.
Snell is influenced by the modernist artists of the 20^th Century, echoing the pursuit of representing the intrinsic elements of visual aesthetics through process of refinement and reduction.
Through flawless digital assemblage, Snell helps draw attention to the innate characteristics of modern fabricated materials, including qualities of precision and simplicity.
Compositions capture numerous dichotomies and questions that underpin contemporary photographic arts practice, drawing on tensions between digital and analogue design, mechanical and manual fabrication, as well as combining intangible concepts within a physical form.
In doing so, Snell produces contemplative and engaging works that simultaneously draw the viewer in as well as push them away, offering an endlessly evolving space of infinite optical possibilities, yet shielded by a flawless visual barrier or void, empty of human interaction or trace.
Snell has exhibited throughout Australia, as well as the United States and Europe.
His work is held in important private and public collections both nationally and internationally, including Art Bank, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and the Justin House Museum.
Snell has been a finalist in numerous art prizes including The Blake Prize (2011,2018), The Geelong Print Prize (2011), and The Glover Prize (2013,2018, 2019, 2021).
Snell has been chosen as the  to winner the following art prizes:  Tidal Art Prize (2012), The Flanagan (2012), Whyalla Art Prize (2015) and Morton Bay Art Award (2015).

Maria was born in 1988 and she lives and works in Slovakia.

Biography
Despite studying restoration and archeology, her preferred artistic medium is photography. From 2010 to the present, the immediacy of Maria’s photographic instinct continues to garner international acclaim and is setting new precedents in photographic expression.
The recipient of several prestigious awards (including Hasselblad Masters Award), her solo and group exhibitions have placed her among the vanguard of her contemporaries, attracting features in Vogue, Forbes, CNN, The Guardian, and publications around the world; her work is frequently in the limelight of social media.
Maria’s reputation also earned her a spot on the coveted 30 under 30 Forbes list as well as a commission for a billboard-sized promotion on the massive Taipei 101 tower, in Taiwan.
In 2019, Apple commission her to create an exclusive photography series shot by iPhone.

Maria’s distinctive style departs from traditional portraiture and focuses on experimentation with space, color, and atmosphere. Taking an interest in communist-era architecture and public spaces, Maria transforms each scene with a modern freshness that highlights the depth and range of her creative palette.
The human body throughout her oeuvre is more or less a peripheral afterthought, often portrayed as aloof and demure rather than substantive.
Carefully composed figures create thematic, dream-like scenes with ordinary objects.
Her images hold a silent tension that hints at emergent possibilities under the lilt of clean and smooth surfaces.

There is often a sense of cool detachment and liminality in Maria’s work.
Routine actions such as exercise, doctor appointments, and domestic tasks are reframed with a visual purity that is soothing and symmetrical and at times reverberant with an ethereal stillness.
The overall effect evokes a contemplative silence in an extended moment of promise and
awareness – a quality difficult to achieve in the rapid pace of modern life.
Maria’s postmodern vision boldly articulates a dialog that compels the viewer to respond to the mystery, loneliness, and isolation of the human experience.
Nevertheless, deeply embedded within the aqueous pastels, Maria’s compositions hold to a celebratory elegance that transforms the viewer’s gaze into an enduring reverence for life’s simple beauty.

Dean was born in 1983 and he lives and works in Florida, USA.

Biography
A wide range of environments and character types are explored in the works of the Florida based Dean West. The Australian-born artist who studied at the Queensland College of Art, is best known for his intricate and highly staged photographs that take everyday occurrences beyond the realm of natural reality. Extraordinary in their tonal range, digital clarity, and artistic vision, West’s meticulously choreographed scenes, character studies, and atmospheric landscapes powerfully yet synthetically link needs to desires and documentation to invention.

Passionately dedicated to the vast possibilities of digital photography as both a medium and a cultural epoch, West’s narratives draw inspiration from the total diversity offered by the visual arts. While the tableau photography of Stan Douglas and Jeff Wall inform West’s understanding of photography as a form of contemporary communication, the paintings of David Hockney and Edward Hopper provide evident aesthetic direction. The fictional world of cinema and the functional language of advertising have also clearly left their mark and taught lessons of their own.

International brands have embraced West’s vision through partnerships and important clients such as Disney, MTV, Bombay Sapphire, and Fox Sports. Recognized as one of Saatchi & Saatchi’s “Top 100 Emerging Photographers” in 2008, West has also been honored with “Advertising Photographer of the Year” at the International Loupe Awards (2008) and the prestigious “Arte Laguna Prize” in Venice, Italy (2009.)

International art curators have taken notice of the accomplished skill West applies to both his digital photography technique and the complex, cerebral narratives offered in his images. His works have been exhibited at important institutions around the world including the Columbus Museum of Art (2012), Faneuli Hall Museum of Boston (2015), the Paris Expo Porte De Versailles (2015), Puls 5 Gallery in Zürich, and the Discovery Times Square Museum in New York City (2014). Hailed as one of the most promising artists of his generation and identified as one of the most accomplished practitioners of digital image making as an art form, West has been honored by acquisitions of his work by some of the most prestigious collections of contemporary art, including that of Sir Elton John.

Stephen was born in 1957 and he lives and works in New York.

Biography
Since opening his studio in New York City in 1983, photographer Stephen Wilkes has built an unprecedented body of work and a reputation as one of America’s most iconic photographers, widely recognized for his fine art, editorial and commercial work.

His photographs are included in the collections of the George Eastman Museum, James A. Michener Art Museum, Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Dow Jones Collection, Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation, Jewish Museum of NY, Library of Congress, Snite Museum of Art, The Historic New Orleans Collection, Museum of the City of New York, 9/11 Memorial Museum and numerous private collections.
His editorial work has appeared in, and on the covers of, leading publications such as the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Time, Fortune, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, and many others.

Wilkes’ early career interpretations of Mainland China, California’s Highway One, and impressionistic Burned Objects set the tone for a series of career-defining projects that catapulted him to the top of the photographic landscape.
In 1998, a one-day assignment to the south side of Ellis Island led to a 5-year photographic study of the island’s long abandoned medical wards where immigrants were detained before they could enter America.
Through his photographs and video, Wilkes helped secure $6 million toward the restoration of the south side of the island.
A monograph based on the work, Ellis Island: Ghosts of Freedom, was published in 2006 and was named one of TIME magazine’s 5 Best Photography Books of the Year.
The work was also featured on NPR and CBS Sunday Morning.

In 2000, Epson America commissioned Wilkes to create a millennial portrait of the United States, America In Detail, a 52-day odyssey that was exhibited in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Day to Night, Wilkes’ most defining project, began in 2009.
These epic cityscapes and landscapes, portrayed from a fixed camera angle for up to 30 hours capture fleeting moments of humanity as light passes in front of his lens over the course of full day. Blending these images into a single photograph takes months to complete.
Day to Night has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning as well as dozens of other prominent media outlets and, with a grant from the National Geographic Society, was recently extended to include America’s National Parks in celebration of their centennial anniversary and Bird Migration for the 2018 Year of the Bird.
Day to Night: In the Field with Stephen Wilkes was exhibited at the The National Geographic Museum in February, 2018.

Day to Night was published by TASCHEN as a monograph in 2019.
The book is available as an XXL Edition and an Art Edition, the latter including one of two fine art prints from the Day to Night series.

Wilkes’ work documenting the ravages of Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy has brought heightened awareness to the realities of global climate change.
He was commissioned by the Annenberg Space for Photography to revisit New Orleans in 2013 after documenting Hurricane Katrina for the World Monuments Fund.
His images were exhibited with his photographs on Hurricane Sandy in the 2014 Sink or Swim, Designing for a Sea of Change exhibition.

Wilkes directorial debut, the documentary film, Jay Myself, world premiered to a sold out crowd at DOCNYC November 11, 2018.
The film is an in depth look into the world of photographer Jay Maisel and his move out of his 35,000 sq. foot building at 190 Bowery.

Wilkes was a speaker at the TED2016: Dream Conference on his Day to Night series.
In 2017 Wilkes was commissioned by the US Embassy, Ottawa to create a Day to Night photograph of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation.

Despite his intense dedication to personal projects, Wilkes continues to shoot advertising campaigns for the world’s leading agencies and corporations, including: Netflix, OppenheimerFunds, SAP, IBM, Capital One, The New Yorker, Johnson & Johnson, DHL, American Express, Nike, Sony, Verizon, IBM, AT&T, Rolex, Honda.
Wilkes’ extensive awards and honors include the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography, Photographer of the Year from Adweek Magazine, Fine Art Photographer of the Year 2004 Lucie Award, TIME Magazine Top 10 Photographs of 2012, Sony World Photography Professional Award 2012, Adobe Breakthrough Photography Award 2012 and Prix Pictet Consumption 2014.
His board affiliations include the Advisory Board of the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications; Save Ellis Island Board of Directors, on which he served for 5 years; and the Goldring Arts Journalism Board.

Wilkes was born in 1957 in New York.
He received his BS in photography from Syracuse University S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a minor in business management from the Whitman School of Management in 1980.

Wilkes, who lives and maintains his studio in Westport, CT, is represented by Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in New York, Fahey Klein Gallery in Los Angeles, Monroe Gallery of Photography in Santa Fe, Holden Luntz Gallery in Palm Beach, ARTITLEDcontemporary in The Netherlands and ProjectB Gallery in Milan.
