Bruna is cofounder of LAPO and Wearecaptive animation Studio. The Luso-Brazilian designer has a refined style and an eye for detail, working mainly in black and white, using simple and beautifully crafted lines to tell a story. Bruna has been awarded ADC Young Guns 9 from the Art Directors Club NY. Born in 1981 in Rio de Janeiro to Portuguese parents, the artist has lived between Brazil, Portugal and England and graduated from London’s Central Saint Martins University before moving to Lisbon, where she currently lives and works.
Kent Rogowski is an artist/photographer living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Kent’s works are often provocative and whimsical manipulations of objects and images that surround us in our daily lives. From teddy bears to jigsaw puzzles and self-help books, he uses and alters mass-produced consumer products as a vehicle for self-expression. By transforming the generic into something personal, Kent questions what these products communicate, and also what role they play in our culture.
His first monograph, Bears, was published by powerHouse books in 2007. He has shown his work both nationally and internationally with solo shows in New York at the Jen Bekman Gallery and the Foley Gallery and the In Focus Gallery in Cologne, Germany. In 2000, Kent received his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, where he is now a Senior Critic. He has also taught at The Pratt Institute and The School of Visual Arts in New York.
