Gunduz Agayev: War & Peace

Gunduz Agayev from Azerbaijan is known for his bold political illustrations, drawing attention to current problems in our modern world. In this new series, he explores the horrors of war in the 21st century. Some of his images may seem shocking, but please keep in mind that actual war is far more devastating than any piece of art which comments on this global epidemic. Peace. | Previous Post

“War is a death, a suicide. Nations massacre one another & the whole of mankind. Nevertheless, we are able to inhibit this plague. Fortunately, we also invented peace. It is a way to struggle against war. It must be everyone’s duty to continue this struggle.”

Drawings by Glen Ronald

Glen Ronald was born and raised in1969 in Manitoba, Canada. After getting a degree in microbiology, the pull of art was strong and he decided to go to art school. A year of study and experimentation and lots of academic and group shows led to a scholarship to further study art. But he chose to study education instead and began a long study of chaos in his spare time. That’s when his current style began to come into being. Glen’s paintings are called chaosmos, for he creates a field of chaos and pulls the cosmos out of it. There is a dynamic rush of realism pushing against abstraction via.

Don’t try this at home. Try this on the street - Fra.Biancoshock

Fra.Biancoshock lives and works in Milan, Italy. For a long time he didn’t consider himself an artist. His expressive process is close to conceptual and performance art, which he chooses to define as Ephemeralism. Its mission statement is to produce works of art that exist briefly in space but limitlessly in time through photography, video and media. His works are often humorous and/or thought provoking, mixing pop icons, toys, satire, traffic signs and anything that catches his eye and sparks his imagination. Fra.Biancoshock has realized more that 450 works on the streets of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Malaysia and Singapore and he’s only just getting warmed up / via  NuArt

“Art is more important than the artist.” – Tyler

Tyler is an anonymous graffiti artist from NYC, staying for 8 months in Mumbai. Tyler has a point of view and he’s not afraid to share it.  He combines humor, imagination and a lack of self-seriousness in his street art. Political messages are ever-present, but what I love most about Tyler’s work is that he knows his audience and he’s doing this for the youth. His work speaks volumes as a young resident of an overpopulated city who hopes for change; making his art relatable to all of us. Follow him on Facebook. via homegrown

Lucas Levitan (previously) is a London-based Brazilian illustrator.

I work in advertising and I’m an illustrator as well but I never took illustration so seriously. I started this project by illustrating over my own pictures as a way to change the narrative. 

I shared it on Instagram and people startedcommenting asking for me to invade their own photography, and I thought ‘oh, that’s a project that I would love to keep doing! I call it Photo Invasion as a way to interact with other people’s images. It’s taken me somewhere I really like, creating this unexpected partnership with photographers.
