Event Details

The fact that the young Iranian brothers Icy (34) and Sot (29) are called the ‘Banksy of Iran’ is not without reason. In their own country, their work is not only considered controversial, it is even banned. Notwithstanding, the work of these street artists literally holds a mirror to the current Iranian society. With their work they offer an idiosyncratic view on themes like oppression, fame, freedom, war and dreams. The talent of the brothers did not go unnoticed and soon Icy and Sot got the chance to leave the streets of Tabriz tempted by New York.

Admiration among art lovers increased even more in The Big Apple. Success seemed assured, but not without sacrifice: By embracing their success in America, returning to their native country became impossible.

We now know that Icy and Sot did not give up their future in their native country in vain. The duo currently holds several exhibitions in New York and are working hard to gain international success. Just recently (February 6, 2018) the two were the subject of discussion thanks to a playful action on Wall Street. By placing a gigantic crumpled dollar bill in the middle of New York’s financial district, the two opposed greed and the volatility of capitalism.

Anna Nooshin

The works that will feature in the ICY and SOT exhibition are being chosen by Kim Logchies and Anna Nooshin. Moco founder Kim Logchies knew from their very first meeting that Anna Nooshin was the perfect match for the Moco Museum and its works and she was determined that the two should collaborate. The choice of ICY and SOT was a joint decision. Anna’s story is similar to that of ICY and SOT but it was her personal taste, natural affinity with and curiosity for art that persuaded Kim to enlist Anna as co-curator for this extraordinary exhibition.

Anna identified with the two brothers who also fled from their native country of Iran. Like them, she has also succeeded in moving on from a difficult start in life and achieving a positive and inspirational turnaround. In early March, Anna and Kim travelled to New York to meet the artists and select works for the exhibition. Anna is involved in the whole creative process.

Event Details

Vroom & Varossieau Urban Contemporary Art is happy to present once again the incredible Jaune.

Ever since he decided to let his characters free in the streets, back in 2011, JAUNE never stopped to flourish.
Last year in 2017, we proudly held his first solo exhibition. We can’t wait to see what the show will reveal this time!

Jaune is a stencil artist and urban interventionist whose work is based on the paradox between the visible and the invisible. With sanitation workers as the main protagonists in his humorous installations and paintings – an idea that was born from his own experience working in the profession. Despite performing an important public service in garish yellow and fluorescent clothing, Jaune observed that he and his colleagues existed in the background of our urban environment, becoming almost invisible to the average.

It was in 2011 that he decided to free these characters from their roles by symbolically placing them in ever more absurd and whimsical scenarios in and around the city streets. Those who were supposed to keep the world tidy have become forerunners of chaos. At the same time, Jaune encourages us to re-evalaute our relationship with the individuals represented in his work.

One of the main characteristic of Jaune’s work is the tension of the moment. He represents daily situations through funny elements, often focussing on the moment just before something dramatic is about to happen. Jaune’s work is attention grabbing and makes the viewer engage while questioning the relationship between the artwork and it’s environment. His images always carry a strong message, transparent or hidden, and indubitably, the starting positions of every interpretation are humour and whimsy.
