1.WILLI SIBER
WILLI SIBER is a contemporary artist from Germany who mainly exhibits sculptural and installation artworks. His artworks are mainly created using metals or a variety of materials, characterized by their intense form and distinctive texture. Villagever's artworks explore the boundaries between reality and imagination, which leads to reinterpretation of everyday matter with new perspectives. Villagever creates artworks through the transformation and combination of amazing materials, providing the audience with a new perspective on their interactions with reality. His artworks often highlight interactions with space, providing spatial experiences to visitors.
German artist Willie Siever's works, which surprise him every time with their fascinating texture and unexpected materials, surprise him every time. In his hands, heavy steel can appear weightless like a balloon, and common materials such as wood, nails, and cardboard can be combined to form a fantastic object. Siever's works may look mysterious from a distance, but if you look closely, you can see that he uses simple materials to perform a kind of alchemy, resulting in miraculous results through his original actions of repurposing and recombining everyday materials. Closer to sculpting with innovative techniques, the painting looks like an icy aerial view of a forest or an Arctic from a distance, or microscopic life forms. For Siever, however, similarities to reality are only incidental.
Art historian Sabine Heilig commented on his work, saying, "He is more interested in the material's transformative ability than the material's own aesthetics." Along with formal ingenuity, Seaver's work is also remarkable in its use of color. Using a palette that ranges from calming earth colors to electrical hues of pink and green, he seems to instinctively match shapes and colors. Bending and folded pieces of steel pipe are covered in clean enamel with luxurious glitter beckoning like jewels, while others, coated in darker powder hues, are silent and calm, displaying a spectrum that evokes intense work by various minimalist artists, including Robert Lyman, John McCracken, and Craig Kauffman.
Born in Germany in 1949, Ziber received his degree from the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design. Being an international exhibitor since 1990, Ziber has displayed his works at galleries, museums, and art fairs across Europe, the United States, and Asia. His works can be seen in public collections around the world, including the Federal Parliament of Germany in Berlin, the German Embassy in Buenos Aires, the Stuttgart State Museum, and the municipal museum Singen, as well as private museums such as the Alison and Peter W. Klein Collection and the Museum Ritter.
He is considered one of the leading contemporary art leaders, and his creative work has drawn admiration from various exhibitions and galleries.
2.JONONE
JonOne is a graffiti artist and contemporary artist from the United States. His real name is John Andrew Perello. Born in Harlem, New York in 1963, he began his career as a graffiti artist. Gradually, his work became known internationally as a young man, while he was active in street art scenes in New York.
John Won is known for his graffiti style, which is rich in color and features unique patterns and lines. His works are visually colorful, while at the same time emotional and expressive. He expresses the liveliness and cultural diversity of the city through free and dynamic lines and shapes.
Based on his career as a graffiti artist, John began drawing on canvas as well, and the result gained huge popularity in the international art market. His works have been exhibited at galleries and art exhibitions all over the world, and his unique style and expressiveness have been recognized all over the world.
Influenced greatly by early street art in New York, such as Jean Michel Basquiat and Kieth Haring, he began his graffiti activities. JonOne's dynamic, outspoken brushstrokes, and drips, patterned New York's subway, walls, and other cities with his signature style of colorful abstract style.
After moving to France in 1987, JonOne began to be recognized among artists in Paris for his graffiti works moved to canvas. In particular, the 1993 "Match Point" work, painted at the Hospital Ephemeral, which was an illegal residence of artists in Paris at the time, was sold at Artcurial reduction, setting the highest price for a graffiti artist at the time in France.
JonOne, who is recognized as a world-class artist beyond the graffiti scene, was awarded the Legion d'Honneur, France's most prestigious medal of honor, in 2015 in the category of culture and art. His work has a great impact on our society in general culture, beyond just the art world, such as collaborating with global brands such as Air France, LG, Perry, Rolls-Royce and Guerlain.

An activist for social and racial justice and climate change, John Won expresses his confidence in his creations through vivid paint colors and projections.
