The works of both artists have several things in common: Both studied graphic design before they worked as visual artists, in their work both relate strongly to the design of everyday objects and their specific codes and appearances in the media and subcultures. Another important reference for both artists is music. Time and again one can find references to musical movements in the works, from the rock ‘n’ roll of the 60s, through 70s punk to the New Wave movement in the 80s. Francis Baudevin uses logos of well-known medicine packages, corporations, music labels or album covers for his abstract and geometric colour compositions on canvas or directly on the wall. Through the media mix of video, photography, painting, drawing, paintings found images and sculptures, Dominik Stauch creates in his work a dense world of references to both art and music history. In his room and video installations, the sound determines the rhythm of image sequences.

Making look good lo-fi, adding detail and throwing things away. She likes to experiment with storytelling for all kinds of situations.

Mason has directed two films in a trilogy called Wild Robot which reference the kitsch, surreal world of 1970s sci-fi and fantasy, using miniature sets and textural CG. Mason has also composed and performed the music for these films and is currently working on the third film in the series.

Mason has also directed a music video for Badly Drawn Boy, and collaborated with Passion Pictures’ director Pete Candeland on a series of films for the Red Bull Music Academy World Tour. He is interested in creating films which bring characters and worlds to life and which use tangible, textural materials. Mason will also continue to create and use music and sound as a key component of his films.
