Sven Uwe Kaiser
In 1987 Sven Uwe Kaiser was born in Frankfurt (Oder), a small town near the polish border on the territory of the former GDR. A city that only gained notoriety in 1997, when a flood of the century claimed the lives of Sven’s preferred flashing sneakers. Back to art: From a young age, he was influenced and inspired by his father’s paper drawing. Since life has always been an exciting „everyday competition“ for him, he wanted to surpass his father’s abilities as quickly as possible.
Over the years, he continued to draw, but the paper was no longer enough for him. In his former hometown, to the delight of 12-year-old Sven and his friends, a small graffiti shop opened its doors to the public. Improving the appearance of walls and other objects was high on the agenda from now on. After a while, he began to earn his first money with graffiti work, and over time orders piled up. As his horizons expanded beyond the city limits of his hometown, he did not intervene at all when his mother had a plan to move to Berlin. He was 16. Three years later, he founded a small creative agency and discovered that brushes and canvas are another great way to express creativity. Nevertheless, he stuck to his roots and has always been part of the Berlin graffiti scene. Over the years he has realized hundreds of projects together with renowned artists, organized his own exhibitions and many creative collaborations abroad, among others in Ghana, Athens, Copenhagen and many others.

FIX77
In 1977, Fix was born in East Berlin, his mother called him Felix. Growing up between slab buildings in grey socialism, the constant smell of the famous car „Trabi“ exhaust fumes in his nose, he and his creative mother were already passing through galleries and exhibitions of the GDR.
He always liked to get his hands dirty with paint and created his own little works. Although Berlin lost most of its walls due to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Fix and Friends always found new walls to paint. And so he soon became part of the Berlin hip-hop and graffiti scene, However his excursion into the graffiti world and a constant lack of sleep never kept him from remaining true to classical painting.
During his years of civil service, he grew increasingly aware of his desire to become self-employed in the arts sector later on. After an attempt as a plumber, he quickly decided to put the pipe pliers aside and exchange them again for brushes and spray cans. Today he can look back on 16 years of self employment, awards, hundreds of projects with renowned artists, exhibitions and foreign projects in Ghana, Greece, Poland and many more.
MATE
I have always been fascinated by the world of art, born in 1987 in Milan, I got to see the development of contemporary art in Italy, which led me to the beginning of an artistic path, first by painting graffi- ti on the walls in the city , completed, then with studies at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. Subsequently my attention shifted to the world of Stree-tart as it allows the artist to work on large dimensions and communicate directly with people.
So I continued my artistic path in another direction, starting to think about what could be useful to communicate to the masses and how to represent it, and I think that, for me, this is the most compli- cated step. Over the time I started using the drawing to try to send simple messages, understandable even to ordinary people, to people who are not part of the art world, who sometimes can not understand what we are speaking about.
This begins a new artistic journey, in 2016, aimed at tackling contemporary problems and that con- cerns the whole world, with explicit and direct contents.
So I started to work in various ideas, I found a reading that allows me to keep the same style both on the wall and on the canvas.This allowed me to create large works and that are able to pass a message making them communicative and open to everyone’s understanding.In 2020 i started a new series, both on canvas than on walls, with a contemmporary colors design and a message, sometimes not explicit, aimt to get a good impact, but at the same times help people to thing about the artwork.
