NIELS SHOE MEULMAN
(Amsterdam, 1967)
Niels Shoe Meulman
is a visual artist known for his gestural paintings that blend graffiti and calligraphy experiences. He revolutionized the art of writing when he started the Calligraffiti movement, stating that “a word is an image and writing is painting”. As a pioneer of writing, Shoe created tags in the 1980s in New York alongside artists like Dondi White, Rammellzee, and Keith Haring. Influenced equally by Abstract Expressionist painters and Pop artists, he gradually found a unique way to translate his art from the streets to galleries and museums. By experimenting with traditional canvas painting, as well as venturing fearlessly into other realms like conceptual installations and poetry, Niels Shoe Meulman continues to push boundaries for the global contemporary urban art movement. He has exhibited his work in numerous solo shows and in many international museums, and is represented by Unruly Galleries (Amsterdam) and Magda Danysz Galleries (Paris, Shanghai, and London).

DEVON SCHOEMAKER
(Amsterdam, 1974)
Devon Schoemaker graduated from the Amsterdam Photo Academy in 2012, and has since held several solo exhibitions, interviews, and publications. She prefers solitary experiences with her camera, completely forgetting her audience, and it is this ambivalence that characterizes her work: Devon captures the essence of the city, where stress and chaos are part of daily life, but she is also intrigued
by nature, capturing the beauty of growth, shapes, forms, lights, shadows, and decay.
Specializing in photography on glass plates coated with gelatin - a photographic technique used since 1873 - she uses original antique wooden cameras that allow her to capture and emphasize the intensity of contrasts.
Thanks to the extended shutter speeds required to capture enough light, her images exude a certain tranquility and capture almost unreal movements. The emulsion becomes an integral part of the photographs, introducing some “imperfections” that reflect the characteristics of the real world, sometimes hidden from our eyes.
