"The artist's intent is to subvert and play with roles, matter and dimensions. Olinet's fascination for childhood and fairytale, both classic and Walt Disney's, allows him to create fantastical sculptures which are simultaneously attractive and repulsive. His drums recall, from their shape and colour, a playful and circus-like atmosphere, but also hide a darker side to their creation, insomuch as the artist himself defines them as "martial".—Giulio Cattaneo

Vince Olinet (1981) lives and works in Brussels and Singapore.

The image of a baroque composed fruit bowl has an elegant and desolate effect. Niehaus produces a hybrid branch of various blooms with the aid of masking tape, or adds the digitally created clones and the same blooms to a different bouquet. In his work, the known motif of dead nature becomes “Nature tuee” (tuer – fr. to kill).—Tanja von Dahlern, MKgalerie Berlin.

Holger Niehaus. 1975, Nordhorn, Germany. Lives and works in Berlin. In 2002, Niehaus graduated from the AKI Academie voor beeldende kunst en vormgeving in Enschede. Holger Niehaus' main goal is to focus the spectator on the photography or the subject of his images. Where there is no appeal to logic or experience, Niehaus leaves the spectator with wonder.

I always find something charming in the enlarged portrayal of things and how it acts as a reminder of our notion of dimensions as static. Once resized and altered, objects are re-signified because the space they occupy give them a different and new protagonism.

Cave is a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute with a MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He joined The School of the Art Institute, Chicago, in 1990 and now serves as Chair of the Department of Fashion and Design. Cave designed and marketed his own line of men’s and women’s clothing and ran a successful retail clothing company, ROBAVE, in Chicago for 10 years and sold to 200 retailers nationally and internationally before turning exclusively to his artistic and teaching practice.

Cave is represented by Jack Shainman Gallery in New York. He has exhibited in various museums and galleries and it has been featured in such publications as Art News, Art in America, Sculpture magazine and The New York Times.—source

Cave, a black man, describes the suits as protection against prejudice. They also resemble ceremonial costume. Cave creates these wearable sculptures from a wide variety of throw away materials like twigs and bottle caps and garbage ties, making reference to society’s attitude towards minorities. Highly textural and visually stunning, his suits make sounds as they perform, creating a deeper experience for the viewer.—source.

—I try to combine modern, contemporary with traditional, folkloric elements. Natural elements are inspiring, in that they always look different. It is somehow something that you can approach as your own creation.
—I work only in analogue style. I work as a painter. When I start working is all aout brushes, colours, backgrounds, patterns. The only digital thing is when I scan the work to send it to the client.
—There is a fine line between art and illustration. I'm an artistic illustrator, and to be able to work in personal projects gives me a lot of freedom.

—Interiewed by die Gestalten.
