Who is 223? (A.K.A Lin Zhi Peng)

East meets West - 223 represents the new Chinese generation.. Beautifully raw!

"Lin Zhipeng is one of the most important member of the new generation of photographers who rose to prominence from social media. Though very intimate, 223’s photographs act as a collective not-so-private diary of a young generation that wants to escape the pressures from the society and play with its limits. Lin Zhipeng’s pictures are never dramatic nor glaucous, sometimes punk and trash, sometimes very poetic. They carry a soft carelessness, a playful innocence, a certain optimism in an hedonist life going against the expected pleasures of the middle class dream." - De Sarthe Gallery.

 

 

SSA's Ultimate Loverboy

Cyprien Gaillard has that je ne sais quoi !

We met in May 2015 at Art Weekend, Berlin during an unforgettable seductive encounter at Spruth Magers.   'When Nature runs Riot' entranced us so much, we sat in awe and watched it over and over. A surreal, seductive 3D explosion, the soundtrack is still ringing in my head a year on. It was the talk amongst young art-aficionado's at Art Basel in the coming months - a sensory masterpiece!  His talents are wide-spread, as a mixed-media artist we love how everything is only just a taste of his ability. And, we looooove that he is based Berlin, our favourite city!
