GUESTS
Fafi (Paris)
Fafi is notorious for painting and hustling, her sexy, funny, and sometimes aggressive girl characters; by exploring feminity through stereotypes, and using it to her advantage, she drew enormous attention and thus started to travel the world with thousands of Fafinettes in her brushes and paint cans. Fafi started her career on the walls of Toulouse but is now a proud Paris dweller.
Hint: check the Yone x Cheki box set for Fafi's artwork.

Helena Ichbiah (Paris)
Ich&Kar is an impertinently bold duet of graphic designers who create highly specilaised and surprising visual effects on a variety of subjects. Ich&Kar’s extensive and comprehensive experience covers a vast range of subjects from luxury to mass-market goods. Ich&Kar’s global approach goes far and beyond a given subject through an innovative touch that encompasses meaning, sensuality and talent – a unique Midas’ touch that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Ich&Kar’s duet is formed by a man and a woman fully devoted to deepening the impact of messages through evocative and elusive imagery. Their priority is to imbed their messages in reality and develop the representation of the messages in a clear, straight-forward language that rises above that of fashion, gimmicks and superfluity. Ich&Kar’s goal is to convey meaning through humour and light-heartedness.
