Nicky Sparre-Ulrich (b. 1986) is a visual artist working within a variety of graphic media. He graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2017. By working with layers, he mimics the passing of time and the mixing of different cultural currents. From our modern pictorial language to ancient tribal imagery, his works look back through time into oblivion to try and make out the beginnings of our culture and where we come from.

Sparre-Ulrich lives and works in Copenhagen (DK).

Hadas (b. Haifa) lives and works in London. She graduated with an MA in Printmaking from Royal College of Art in 2014, having previously completed her BA in Painting at Slade School of Art (2012).
