Paul Roustan
The Couto Brothers - Alexandre and Christopher
The Couto Brothers are two self-taught artists who share a passion that merges their heterogeneous style with cultural imagery to create works that are politically bold and visually stunning. Raised in Brooklyn and Brazil, their work is simultaneously global and uniquely American, a consequence of their extensive and immersive travels in different parts of the world. Playing with the figurative and political interventions of pop art, graffiti and abstraction, they create works that invite viewers to re-evaluate their relationship with cultural icons and artistic traditions in ways that update the viewers' understanding of art's relationship with culture today. In their hands, the brutal playfulness of gang signs can quickly evolve into an effusion of color without losing the thrust of the political message, or the piercing brushstrokes of abstraction may peer out from within a colorful palette that frames an iconic figure.

Gabe Gault
Gabe Gault grew up in Venice CA, surrounded by street art, graffiti, and Southern California culture. Son of a professional athlete, Gabe rebelled against football and embraced the arts. As a student of noted muralists and illustrators, Gabe later formed the SolCal Collective consisting of like-minded creators and collaborators. His style is heavily influenced by his 1990's childhood: Sci-Fi and Space Travel, as well as the clothes, colors, materials, and icons of the decade. His work is bright and futuristic and offers a message of hope and possibility.
