Featuring Original Artworks by Huskmitnavn, Ekta, Amaia Arrazola, Zigendemonic, Phomer... and more than 25 other GetFreaky contributors!
Above Second is proud to present a group show of GetFreaky contributors curated by GetFreaky director Supertexte, and director of MyJane Studio in Hong Kong, Lee Mei Yan.
Gathering over 30 established and emerging international artists, illustrators, and designers, this exhibition aims to illustrate the connections between works produced from every corner of the globe. The artists, who participate in the creation of fanzines, graphic art, street art, exhibitions, and who are initiators of projects in their respective countries, are pushing the boundaries of contemporary illustration.
Influenced by the urban context and human relations, these works contain humor and politics, and a touch of stylized surrealism. Dominated by flat graphic colors and thick-black outlines, the pieces in the exhibition show the clear influence of graffiti. Though taken out of this urban context and contained within the gallery walls, the pieces have the common framework of “street art” either through influence or participation. Whether it's a black-and-white print by Loup Druelle of Batman having a bit too much fun at a party, or the pop-colored piece by Diela Maharanie of a fawn emerging from an unsuspecting womb, something from this eclectic group is sure to delight and surprise.

GetFreaky, a fanzine founded in northern France in 2010, is directed by Hellofreaks (graphic designer), Gler One (photographer and designer), and Supertexte (ar tist). The zine has published works by over 150 artists from across the globe. In celebration of the release of new issues, the magazine organizes events such as concerts, parties, and openings, in the hopes of connecting artists and art lovers across the globe. By organizing exhibitions across Europe of original paintings, drawings, and silkscreen prints by contributing artists, the name has become known as more than just a fanzine.
