Joseph Zbukvic, 1952 | Plein-air Watercolor painter

Joseph Zbukvic was born in Zagreb, today’s Croatian capital.

From childhood he was fond of art, but his parents thought it wasn’t an important talent, so Joseph was sent to a Pedagogical University, where he studied languages.

The political instability in Yugoslavia forced the Zbukvic family to leave their home and move to Australia.

Of course the education had to be abandoned.

A few years later the name of Joseph Zbukvic became famous, despite his parents wish to bury the talent of their son.

Philipp Weber, 1974 | Hyperrealist painter

German painter🎨 Philipp Weber tells the stories that move him, using a hyperrealist style. Realism, pop, composition and an attempt to find an inner truth determine the artist’s approach, which places women at the heart of his cyclical works.

Like Mel Ramos, Philipp Weber depicts the artificiality and the clichés of the fashion and advertising world. His young women pose as if for a photo shoot for a glossy magazine, providing a blank canvas for men’s dreams, thus picking up on a traditional artistic theme.
