Artist Feature #3: David Jien

Los Angeles based master of graphite, David Jien weaves stunning panoramas where geometric shapes reminiscent of letters and numbers reside alongside dead forests, owl faced wizards, giants, robots and
aerosol wielding lizardmen in an isometric world. Look long enough at his geometric "letters" one can get the sense that they try to convey some lost information through an archaic language.

Artist Feature #2: Kai Nødland

This guy's work is all raw energy, made up from the remnants of childhood, that mental freedom and the comical tragedy which we now can recall with great fondness.

Distinctive sketches, colourful digital work, his work is playful as it is varied, containing a simplicity in its ramified structure.

Kai was born and raised in Norway and now lives and works in London.

Artist Feature #1: Samuele Bastianello

We start off our artist features with Witness member: Samuele Bastianello.

From clinical magnetic tree series to his raw sketch-like series, Samuele's work always intrigues and is unrelenting in its honesty and openness. A strong sense of detachment, uniformity and the absurdity of day to day life makes this particular Frankfurt based Italians work stand out.
