Hypend & Beyond Cultural Market Creative Vendors Announced!

The creatives that will be joining us to the Hypend & Beyond Cultural Market announced!


Sheikki

CREATIVE FORM:

Painting & Collage


SHORT BIO:

Street culture and different subcultures have always interested me. Skating, visual arts and crafts have been a part of my identity from an early age and have been a trendsetter for my art. In addition, I draw inspiration from movies and music.

This series is painted on porn pages. Sex in all its forms is a big part of our culture and it is infused with advertising and social media. However, sex and porn are also perceived as taboo, private, or even shameful. The series I paint seeks to play with the idea of “what if?” and thereby challenges the viewer to see something new. What if something that feels dirty becomes innocent? What if you see the same as me? Do you dare then to look at porn directly in the eyes?

This is my vision.
