Massimo D'Amico (born 1979) is an Italian artist working in the Czech Republic.
D'Amico was born in Vietri sul Mare, on Amalfi Coast, and lives and works in Prague. After a self-taught apprenticeship that lasted throughout his teens, he took courses in painting at the Naples Academy of Fine Arts. Around twenty-three years decides to leave the southern Italy, to have a broader contact with the international art scene, and follows different routes, including Barcelona, London, and then went to New York City, where he joined in 2006 in the large group of emerging artists, actors and musicians, that find themselves living in the new Brooklyn, as Williamsburg and Green Point, but looking for areas of visibility, collaboration and records in Manhattan. He now exhibits for the gallery Monkdogz Urban Art in Chelsea on 27th Street.

Jan De Cock is a contemporary Belgian visual artist. From the start of his career, his art has revolved around production and the ways in which an artist relates to the broad culturally-injected concept of Modernism. In 2003 Jan De Cock entered the competition Prix de la Jeune Peinture Belge. He is, after Luc Tuymans, only the second Belgian artist to have had a solo exposition at Tate Modern and the first living Belgian artist to have an exhibition at MoMA, which opened on 23 January 2008. Much of his work draws on visual and formal comparisons between early-20th century abstract art movements and contemporary design and mass production. During the first decade of his career the artist worked on the intersection of sculpture and architecture and he succeeded in extending the underlying functionalist consequences of the Russian Modernist artist El Lissitzky‘s Proun Room, thus completing a missing link within the modernist program yet to be completed in late twentieth century modernist art.
