Sergio Garcia

Sergio Garcia is a US-based artist who uses the unconventional as a theme for his work. Sergio Garcia embraces painting as platform for self-expression, as well as a channel through which to explore the contemporary socio-political climate. Garcia's playful tricycle sculptures manipulate viewers' traditional expectations of his familiar, childhood toy that are based on memory and nostalgia. In addition, Garcia's paintings stake a claim for words as images, deliberately juxtaposing phrases that ironically contradict one another to evoke a controversial dialogue. He has exhibited at countless galleries and fairs, including the SCOPE ART Fair, 941 Geary, Hal Sampes Gallery, and Gallery Lombardi.

Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada

Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada is a Cuban American contemporary artist.

He is a founder of the New York Culture Jamming movement and an innovator in the international urban art scene. Since the late 90´s he has been replacing the faces of cultural icons chosen by advertisers with the faces of anonymous people to question the controls imposed on public space, the role models designated and the type of events that are guarded by the collective memory. Rodríguez-Gerada´s unique direction was mentioned in Naomi Klein´s book No Logo and was a precursor of the use of anonymous portraits now common in street art. His spectacular interventions are created for the sake of bringing awareness to relevant social issues. His large scale time base works avoid negative impact on the environment, challenge the conformity in contemporary art and allow for a reflection that goes beyond the completion of the piece to focus in its concept, process, and the metaphor that comes forth because of the material chosen.
