Hédy Gobaa
Hédy Gobaa is bi-national, with citizenship in both Tunisia and France. Having grown up in Tunisia until the age of 16, they then pursued an education in Visual Art in France from 1996 to 2005. After returning to Tunisia, they exhibited their artwork from 2007 to 2010, up until the start of the Arab Spring. Seeking greater artistic freedom and an experimental practice, they relocated to Montreal in 2013 to make a living from their painting. Eventually, they enrolled in a PhD program for Art Studies and Practice, obtaining their degree in November of 2018. Upon arriving in Montreal, the artist found that their previous paintings and exhibitions from their time in Tunisia had not been taken into account. This was partly due to the difficulty of bringing them along and also due to a general lack of interest in Maghrebian art among the local art community. As a newcomer, it was also challenging to convey the political reality that they had experienced, when their experiences were not well understood by others. To overcome these obstacles, the artist developed a strategy aimed at unifying Tunisia and Quebec, despite their many differences including geographical, social, and economic disparities. They broadened their perspective to include an ultra-connected, globalized space, and worked towards creating a bridge to connect these two cultural poles.

Mixed Media Large Pop Art Painting Drawing Brian Kenny NYC Street Art 2015
Located in Surfside, FL
Brian Kenny, (German-American, 1982-)
MIxed Media Painting with Drawing, Oil or Acrylic on Canvas.
Hand signed On Verso and Dated 2015, NYC
Dimensions: Sight- 30" x 24", Frame- 36" x 30"
Brian Kenny (born 1982, Heidelberg, Germany) is a NYC-based American multidisciplinary artist exhibited in galleries, museums, theaters and alternative venues in the US, Canada, Russia, Israel and across Europe. In 2004 Brian began an ongoing collaboration with artist Slava Mogutin as SUPERM, and in 2016 with writer Rich Juzwiak as BOYFRIEND HOUSE. Using an array of mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture, textile, video and performance, Brian’s artwork is bright and vividly expressionistic; often autobiographical and reflective of his current states of mind which include themes of his queer identity, shifting societal perceptions about gender, sexuality and politics, urban living and free-associative wanderings of thought and creative experimentation.
New York-based artist Brian Kenny’s work is a visually striking exploration of gender, sexuality, and politics in contemporary North America. Known for his experimental and expressionistic practice, Brian mixes mediums such as painting, illustration, collage, sculpture, and textiles – oftentimes all at once. Brian’s foundation in drawing is evident across his portfolio, with nearly every piece incorporating some signature scribblings from the artist. He has experimented with drawing, collage, photography, performance and, more recently, painting. “All the other mediums I’m exploring like, painting, textile art, and animation all branch out from drawing,” he explains. This focus is what makes Brian’s vast collection of work all feel so cohesive.
"Both of my parents were in the US military and we moved around a lot in the US. But most of the places I lived were rural, far from big cities and art museums, so I had no idea who Andy Warhol, Mark Rothko, Chuck Close, David Hockney or Damien Hirst were. The few small art museums I visited as a child were full of old-school oil paintings; all life-like portraits, rural landscapes and historical recreations. It wasn’t until I met Slava Mogutin and moved to New York that I began to meet artists, see exhibitions at art galleries of living artists near my age, and tour lot of contemporary art museums like MoMA and begin learning about contemporary art history". Brian says. “I’m definitely not a minimalist and lean toward more narrative and figurative artwork than abstraction or decoration”. Minimalist, he is not: Brian’s work pops with vibrant colours, characters and shapes, evoking a Warholian play on pop art culture.
Kenny’s signature line drawing style is reminiscent of Keith Haring and LA Ortiz and evokes comparisons to early Jean Michel Basquiat. Brian's commercial and fashion work includes art and design commissions and collaborations with Onitsuka Tiger (Japan...
