RYAN KEELEY

Ryan Keeley is the New York artist whose work bridges the gap between analog, digital, and beyond. A multi-disciplined artist and designer Keeley’s work has found itself in various galleries and museums around the world, accenting interiors, applying itself to various types of commercial design, and gracing stages of top musicians such as Kendrick Lamar, Ms Lauryn Hill and Gary Clark Jr. By harnessing and combining new-age digital printing methods with traditional tried and true artistic practices, Keeley develops vastly layered images coining the term “Hybrid-Expressionism.”

ISABELLA ADDISON

Isabella Addison started her artistic journey in South Florida where she found her love for street art and painting. Now based out of Los Angeles, her work ranges from murals, fine art, digital art, and animations. Her multifaceted artistic identity combines painting and digital art to create a unique cyberpunk aesthetic that tells the story of her narrative series, Disco’s Dead. Addison’s work deals with serious subjects such as technological singularity, augmented reality, and climate change. Her art continues to push forward in the NFT space as a way to construct a community-created and funded cartoon series. Isabella Addison will continue to experiment, combining physical and digital art to tell her stories and bring change.

MARKO RISTIC

Marko Ristic (b. 1993 in Daytona Beach, FL) is a painter based in New York City.

Marko is the son of immigrants, a first generation American who balanced the duality of assimilating his Serbian heritage while growing up in the United States.

The prejudice that ensued in his environment evolved in both physical and mental expression.

While he in his American classroom, Belgrade was being bombed. At home, he was learning of his friends and family he had lost.

The time he later spent in Belgrade fueled the tangled perception that defined his youth, due in part by the opposition of the two countries he lived in. One was under fire, while the other instituted that fire.
