The paintings themselves add up to an assembled constellation of recurring imagery, including animals, letters or word fragments, diagrams, symbols, and glyphs. These elements in combination form their own pictorial universe.

A self-proclaimed “student of metaphysics,” Landström brews a unique cocktail of symbols, languages, formulas, and animals. According to him, this concoction emerges from the babbling brook of consciousness in his head, presenting itself on canvas.

Though varied, together his paintings make for a cohesive (if cryptic) series. “I think every person is a kind of transceiver to varying degrees, depending on where they’re from and how they live,” explains Landström on his website, “which is reflected in the fact—among other ways—that certain images or symbols are universal and occur in vastly different civilizations all over the world and throughout history.”

Unscramble his cryptic messages if you can.

Having worked for the past 10 years with almost all the key players in New York’s brand underground, Meye draws on his classical training and outsider’s perspective, developing his own unique graphic language. Amongst his many collaborations was one with Spike Lee, who’ve Meye designed T-shirts for.

Talking about his artistic upbringing in an interview with The Great Discontent, Meye recalled spending long hours at his parents’ woodshop. “Both of my parents were architects, and because it was a Swiss household, my family was passionate about minimal design,” he explained. “My parents frequently built models and drew blueprints for their projects. I spent time drawing with my brother and making things out of wood. Hanging out with my parents in their shop was my first connection to the world of art and illustration.”

These early days at the woodshop would become the building blocks upon which his artistic persona would come to be. Take a look at some of his artwork and designs in the gallery below.

Carefully bending iron, brass, stainless steel and copper wires into abstract but recognizable portraits of famous historical leaders and thinkers, Hulea brings new context to the subjects in the modern age. He has created sculptures of figures such as the emperor Ferdinand I and the philosopher Mircea Eliade. 

“I hope that people will understand that I do nothing but draw in a new way, in a durable material of the past,” Hulea shared with My Modern Met, “I can then explore and research, as an artist, mythical, Renaissance, and modern thinking by finding three-dimensional examples that describe us now in a history of the past.”

Trained in the art of classical drawing, the sculptor views his work as a form of three-dimensional “sketching” and sees himself in a line of artists who turned recycled materials into pieces of art. 

“Some, like Picasso, used recycled materials or, like Calder or David Smith, industrial materials. That moment was the turning point of the sculptures that I am doing now. For me, this type of drawing is what we find in the sketches of the great artists of the Renaissance like Michelangelo and Da Vinci—serious and realistic compositions that anyone can understand.”
