Christine Flynn is a Canadian artist working in photography and mixed media. She is known for her landscape photography imbued with abstract elements, creating works of art that exist in between two mediums. Flynn composes images that hinge on nostalgia. The relationship between the photograph and abstract elements is nuanced: the abstractions do not distract from the photograph, but instead appear as if they are part of the image, enhancing it and adding depth.

Felix, Creative Director, Germany
Felix is a commercial and creative director, writer and photographer. The majority of his work revolves around entertainment in its countless forms, but most notably music. This is the world that Felix came from originally, as a musical director and session player for various artists. Doing such for the prior decade took Felix around the world, which allowed him access to a plethora of remarkable people and places, all of which he began to document photographically.
Eventually leaving the music performance behind, he pivoted further towards photography and film as mediums. In doing so, Felix worked intimately with a number of artists as a creative director and consultant, giving himself space to refine the voyeuristic style he’s embraced photographically. He wanted to build a window into words that are otherwise unknown, framing a view of pure cinematics. His mission is to always capture a raw moment, but provide an aesthetic quality that flatters the subject and intrigues the viewer.
