Andrea Bergen (b. Oakland, CA, 1989) currently lives and works in San Francisco and received her BFA in Painting and Drawing from the California College of the Arts in 2013. For over a decade she has been developing her collaging technique to create landscapes and figures from thousands of pieces of hand cut colored paper. Bergen's current work expresses her anxiety about the impact of
climate change and humanity’s footprint on the environment and wildlife. Her style represents this convergence as her collages are a melding of traditional and contemporary art movements. The bold colors, vibrant graphics, and energetic style pull from street and graffiti art while the representational aspects and spatial dynamism reference Pop Art and Surrealism. Bergen has exhibited extensively around the Bay Area and has been included in exhibits at the deYoung Museum in San Francisco, the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Morris Graves Museum in Eureka.

He has a luminous resumé of exhibitions and art fairs and his paintings are found in a variety of collections across the world.

He combines drawing and painting with ideas of architecture, travel, story-telling, nature and fantasy. His canvases present thoughtful visual poetry with a dream-like atmosphere and harmonious color combinations of vibrant reds, turquoise blues, and warm yellows. Valle's work is meaningful, profound and creates a spectacular visual journey.

A Pittsburgh native in Brooklyn, Jeff Schwarz has received a host of positive attention and commentary from critics worldwide, including Blake Gopnik for Blouin ArtInfo and Artnet and Roberta Smith for the New York Times. His 2016 feature in Hyperallergic states that his work "is a streetwise lyricism echoing with the Beat rhythms of AbEx, the Diamond Dog days of New York’s ‘70s slide, and the raw fabric of the city just beyond the current wave of homogenization." His work has appeared in international publications, collections, and exhibitions from New York to Seoul and many places between.

David Solomon (1976-2017) was an American contemporary artist and painter primarily based in Santa Fe, NM. He studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and was studio assistant to major American artists Frank Lobdell and John Henry Waddell. He has shown in galleries and art fairs across the US and internationally. He has had reviews in Art In America, Art LTD, Huffington Post, Santa Fean Magazine, Adobe Airstream, THE Magazine, and others, and his work is included in wonderful private collections in Houston and worldwide.

Solomon's work is driven by an organic blend of both his early life and later formal experiences. As a child, he and his father (who attended Parson’s in New York) had "doodling sessions" and his artist-grandmother took him to the Metropolitan Museum Of Art as a child. Later, Florida’s swamps, beaches, and scrapyards became a playground for David’s inquisitive mind and provided endless hours of study. The forms of fruits, seeds, flowers and various animals still act as elements in his compositions. Physics, nature, and philosophy are evident, and more recently, the desert and mountainous landscapes influence his evolving work. 

Schwab is one of "30 under 30 Groundbreaking Artists" in Art Business News and part of a "Must See Exhibit" in LOCAL Houston. He had solos with Revision Space and The Andy Warhol Museum in 2015, and Cindy Lisica Gallery in 2016.

The work of Pure Evil can be found all over the world, as his tags and signature tear drops and dripping blobs adorn walls both inside galleries and outside in the street. He is the son of the Welsh painter John Uzzell Edwards (1934-2014). After leaving the UK as a young adult and spending 10 years in California, where he found inspiration through skate culture and politically-infused graffiti, Pure Evil returned to the UK and honed his own original street art practice. He became known for his signature fanged bunny rabbits and developed his own approach to urban art, tagging and spray painting. Today he runs his own successful gallery spaces in London and frequently exhibits in major international cities. His work has also been shown at the Victoria & Albert Museum, and he has given lectures on street art at Tate Modern and the ICA in London.

In 2015, Earnest was selected by Chad Alligood, Chief Curator of American Art at the Huntington and former Curator of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and Eric Shiner, Senior Vice President of the Fine Arts Division at Sotheby’s and former Director of The Andy Warhol Museum for a juried exhibition at Revision Space Gallery.

This year, two of her large paintings were exhibited in The Apotheosis of Homer at Suzhou Arts and Culture Center in China.
