About Demsky:
Demsky started his creative journey getting immersed in the graffiti boom in the early 90s. Since then he has been traveling and spraying throughout more than 50 countries and still feels obsessed with twisting the morphology of his name in multiple, unconventional shapes. Being a self-taught, his artistic influences are rooted in the graffiti movement, the Fluor era and his current nostalgia around the late 80s and early 90s, although nowadays these are expanding also towards obtaining a balanced mix between future and nostalgia, radical creativity and exact sciences.
About Smithe:
Smithe is a Méxican illustrator & muralist currently based in Mexico City. He is influenced by old local comics, graphic style of the 50's, Japanese anime and Sci-Fi movies. At the age of 13, he painted graffiti just for fun and as a hobby. As an autodidactic evolutionist with an attraction to fine art, Smithe is constantly reinventing his style. Over the past years the subjects of his work have explored different themes such as Existentialism, Individuality of the human being and the machine within. Defragmentation, a common symbol in his work, is used as a vehicle to show the inner elements that power his characters and is shown as a surrealistic machine. Smithe is commonly known for his graffiti, but is also involved in other artistic areas such as illustration, design, sculpture and music.
