Decade of Stars presents a curated digital collection that reflects the evolving landscape of contemporary art over the past ten years. From thought-provoking street art to bold abstract compositions, the exhibition highlights the distinct voices and techniques of each artist, while also creating a dialogue between their works.
Among the featured artists, Mr. Brainwash is known for his vibrant and energetic pop art, blending street art with pop culture references to create visually striking and engaging pieces. Banksy, the anonymous street artist, presents politically charged and thought-provoking works that challenge social norms and power structures. Matthijs Scholten brings expressive and colorful compositions that explore emotions, dreams, and human connection, while Pepe Valenti combines abstract techniques with figurative elements to delve into themes of identity and transformation.
Jordy Kerwick brings bold, raw styles that experiment with texture and form, resulting in immersive and dynamic works. Diana Korn explores the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, layering textures and bold color contrasts to create evocative compositions. Meanwhile, Gavin Rain, known for his pointillist portraits, combines precise techniques with vibrant color palettes to produce striking visual effects. Lastly, Zhuang Hong Yi merges Eastern and Western influences, crafting intricate floral sculptures and paintings that change appearance depending on perspective and light. Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, a prominent Australian Indigenous artist, is known for his mesmerizing, dot-based paintings that depict sacred stories and ancestral landscapes, deeply rooted in the traditions of the Pintupi people.
Decade of Stars gives us the opportunity to explore these diverse creative approaches in a fully digital format, witnessing how each artist challenges conventions, experiments with materials, and offers unique perspectives on culture and society. The exhibition aims to engage both seasoned art collectors and those new to the contemporary art scene, providing an accessible and inspiring online experience.
