Julien Ceccaldi

Julien Ceccaldi was born in 1987 in Montréal, Canada. He lives and works in New York.Through painting, drawing and comics, Ceccaldi depicts characters in search of love and success. Inspired by the archetypes of the Shoujo manga tradition, his stories focus on personal and sentimental relationships involving androgynous beings. His body of work depicts the intersection of cute and morbid, and conveys an interest in the constraints of fashion and public image. He has participated in several exhibitions in institutions and galleries including the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne; House of Gaga, Mexico City; Jenny’s, New York; and Lomex, New York.

Alan Michael

Alan Michael is a Scottish Painter based in London. Alan explores the intersection of fact and fiction, image production, and the ever-changing nature of cities. His works depict urban life as a space where numerous thoughts and ideas coexist, interact, and change. By using language and fragments of images in his paintings, he decontextualizes the original meaning and subtly shifts attention. His work challenges the linear evolution of visual culture and embraces the collision of various influences and cultural references.We discuss several specific shows such as ones "London Foam", "Matchmakers", "Wonder Workers" and ones held at Jans Kaps & Jennys New York. Other topics like Alans Collabrative Publication with Artist Lucy McKenzie "Unlawful Assembly" & his ideation and process for each of his project's are also explored as well as much more.
