Last one before summer break: Pretty Portal, the Streetart and Urban Art Gallery in Düsseldorf, presents “4” - the first group exhibition of the young artists Suki Bamboo, Aro, Magic and Biserama.

Ladies first: SUKI BAMBOO (alias Bianca Angela Litscher) started in 1992 developing her own typical style: a mixture of hand drawing and digital design. Her works show both, a romantic but also striking side. Influenced by many different impressions like urban streetart, modern design, belle epoque or art nouveau, Suki Bamboo is always focused on formal aesthetics and color harmony. A free mind, creativity, a focus on the essential and the ability to transfer inner pictures - that are the characteristics of Suki Bamboo and her work.

ARO (alias Christian Schupp), a graphic artist from Koblenz, doesn't really care about conventions, traditions or rules, but rather looks for inspiration everywhere. Using his Computer, ARO brings those inspirations, the everyday experiences, dreams and fantasies to life. At the end of that artistically process, energetic, colorful and exciting works will again inspire the viewers mind.

MAGIC (alias Oliver Räke), a graffiti writer and graphic designer, is mainly influenced by urban culture, architecture and typography. Starting with his early works in the 80th, Oliver Räke is one of the first graffiti artists of Germany.

The fourth member of this group is BISERAMA (alias Alexander Becherer). The young artist keeps an eye on the details and small things in life. His provoking and expressive works show a strong will, fighting spirit, honesty and liberty. For quite some time now BISERAMA is working on special handmade designer toys, known as “The Teeth Project”. The prototype was reduced only on lips and teeth - the mouth with its diverse qualities and possibilities.
