Emerging from the encounter between André Saraiva and JonOne, Throw Up brings together two artists whose practices were shaped by graffiti and by the fundamental act of leaving a signature in public space. JonOne’s name expands across the composition as one big throw-up, while André Saraiva’s iconic Mr. A appears at its centre, merging two immediately recognisable identities into a single image.

Characteristic of their respective practices, the signature becomes more than a mark of authorship, evolving into a visual language of its own. While JonOne has transformed the writing of his name into an expressive, often repetitive, gestural form, Saraiva developed his character, Mr. A as a drawn signature capable of communicating beyond words. In Throw Up, these two approaches overlap playfully and directly, celebrating graffiti’s ability to turn a name into an image, an identity, and a presence.

Emerging from Joram Roukes’ ongoing exploration of identity and the symbols that shape contemporary culture, Blue Bull reflects on the evolving perceptions of masculinity through a dialogue between three protagonists: a blue bull, a red doberman, and a solitary perch. Suspended within a composition that resists fixed orientation, the figures invite multiple readings, suggesting that ideas of strength, vulnerability, and power are never absolute, but continuously shaped by perspective.

Characteristic of Roukes' practice, disparate images, cultural references, and symbolic elements are brought together into layered compositions that remain open to multiple interpretations. Working across painting, collage, and digital processes, the artist constructs richly textured visual worlds where familiar forms are continually recontextualised. For this edition, the original composition has been reworked through a transformed background, screen-printed interventions, and hand-finished details, allowing the dialogue between the three protagonists to come into sharper focus.
