Sjors "Maedist" Kouthoofd

Sjors "Maedist" Kouthoofd never makes the same thing twice. As a toddler he started drawing and never quit. With comics as a basis and always feeling the urge to create new things different styles, techniques and disciplines to came together and got interwoven. He is known as a freestyler, inventing on the spot and elaborate creations with free work or based on customer requirements. Busy Graffiti, Street Art, animation, cartoons, illustrations, graphic design, animation, scenography and design, t-shirt prints, painted clothing, furniture design, video production, lyrics and writing poetry, music and customizing shoes to cars .
Therefore, perhaps the most versatile artist.

Micha de Bie

Tight typography, geometry, mathematical approach, contrasts of sophisticated and ponderous, patterns and the combining of computer technology and craftsmanship are often the ingredients that you see in his street art / graffiti work and his graphic work. The medium Micha works with varies by project. Tape, rope, wood, branding, aerosols or whatever is available. He thinks about what is possible with the medium or he searches the medium that fits his thoughts. He tries to find a balance in his work between the self-imposed limited amount, often basic geometric shapes, which he uses. Which may only be used within a specific grid and / or frame. Exploring the possibilities within the limitations that have arisen creating an aesthetic image that at the same time is still forming letters.

Tobias "Klash" Becker Hoff

The Zoetermeer based illustrator and Street Artist Tobias Becker Hoff is a true multi styler and should not be labeled in a particular style or medium. He works both digital and analog, from large mural to digital design. Always curious and looking for new challenges, he continues developing his styles- and has been expanding his palette for more than twenty years. He is adept at working with typography and graphics. The one time in writing by hand, the other time graphic and technical, or a combination of both. Because of its diversity, Tobias is trying to give the right atmosphere to the concept. Tobias makes both free work as a commissioned work and is a graduated at the School of the Arts (HKU) in 2010. His career has been given a new boost in April 2015 by starting with a bottom-up project in his home town Zoetermeer. There he started the Urban Art Studio. As a social entrepreneur, he tries to make the city where he lives more interesting on its own and through this project. The Urban Art Studio is focused on working with Street Art projects, workshops, exhibitions and events. In addition, he makes clever use of a vacant shop by using it as a pop-up store.

Suzanne van Soest

Suzanne van Soest followed a fashion course at the Royal Art Academy. The interest to work on flat surfaces came in the screen printing studio, where she studied printing in textiles. Van Soest made a detour after her fashion education because she felt that she needed an intellectual theoretical framework and did a BA in Cultural Studies at UVA. After that she worked as a journalist for the AD / Haagsche Courant. Until she came in contact with her old love; the screen printer for which she had worked at the academy, he needed an assistant and introduced Suzanne to art production. Now she makes canvas painting with oil next to her giant screen prints. They are colourful and figurative, often with human figures. Her images are populated with theatrical and abstracted figures and objects that all look past each other. They give expression to the existential emptiness of human existence.
