About the artists:
Brandon Hill (b. 1983, Baltimore, Md.; lives and works in Washington, D.C.) draws on his fascination with materiality, history and the urban landscape to shape his multidisciplinary art practice. His work spans from 1” sculptures made from lego to murals that wrap full buildings. His work is part of the permanent collection of the Reginald F. Lewis Museum and he has shown across the country. He is also a co-founder of No Kings Collective and Please Bring Chips.
Antonio McilWaine, better knowns as "Arm of Casso" is an Atlanta-based abstract, pop-artist. His career is devoted to promoting a new art style that tranforms fine art and graffiti art into a personalized genre that he has coined Sharpism. Using Sharmpism, Arm of Casso can create intended, contoured, maximalist linework. Commercially produced items featuring his work are sold through companies such as Home Goods and Target and his work has also been featured at Art Basel Miami and T.I.'s Trap Museum.
