Her work is easily identifiable by the contrast of bright colours and the darker tones. Consequently setting the focal point and the atmosphere in her works. Furthermore Oberndorfer deliberately uses selective colour palettes and engaging compositions to create rich and saturated alternative universe that is brimming with story and is yearning to be explored.

Enyedi won $60,000 cash prize for her ”audacious, cutting-edge and courageous’ filmmaking.” Whilst accepting the award, Enyedi said, “It was such an amazingly strong competition. It’s marvellous that such a film can move so many people, it gives me so much hope in cinema and in human communication.”

So, what’s your background and how did you become interested in illustration?
When I was a kid I use to draw a lot in my spare time: My favourites heroes of cartoons, comics, video games etc.
My favourites heroes of cartoons, comics, video games etc. My father is an art teacher so he taught me a lot of techniques and exercises that gave me a passion for this profession. When finishing the obligatory school, I attended Wallis, EPAC ( Professional school of contemporary art ) to follow art lessons. During my diploma project, I discovered that illustration was really the medium I feel more comfortable with.
Are you working on anything new and exciting?
I’m working on a book with another artist and on two exhibitions for 2018.
How did you develop your style?
I think that I developed it without trying to find a style straight away. At the beginning I wanted to feel comfortable with a medium so, when I was in the art school, I tried a lot of techniques and aesthetics. Thanks to this, I was able to discover my strengths and especially the defects I have to work on. I supposed that my style is a mix of all theses experiences.
What’s your source of inspiration?
I’m a fan of Eyvind Earle, Hiroshi Yoshida, Gustave Doré, Tadanori Yokoo and Wes Anderson. I’m also really inspired by the Disney and Ghibli animations and influenced by random stuff like toys, music, photography, legends story etc. I think that I’m really sensitive to the narration of art, I love to imagine stories inside the different art pieces I’m watching.
Do you have any creative routines?
Yes, it starts with a coffee and a cigaret aha.
What role does the artist have in society?
For me, art is here to feed the spirit of the human. The man doesn’t need art for living in a physical way, so why did he start to paint meticulously in the caverns? I think we need it to build our soul, personality and to communicate our emotions
What do you hope to accomplish with your art?
Meet new people, discover new cultures and new horizons and share my passion with other artists.
Where do you hope to see yourself in 10 years?
In the garden of a side country house with all my friends to drink wine and eat a fondue aha.
So, any advice for aspiring artists?
I mean art isn’t easy so, work hard, be patient and passionate because it’s one of the best jobs on earth.

With his latest EP ‘Bathing Beach’ released he joined us for an interview to talk about music and culture.
Hi, how are you?
I’m great. How are you?
We are great, thank you! So, how did you get into music?
I think that I just naturally gravitated towards music from a young age due to my Dad being a keen musician and studio owner. It was through skateboarding that I really got into music though: I’d find new songs by hearing what the skaters would have on their sponsor videos. Following this I just found myself playing drums in bands and delving into the how music was made.
How did your song ‘Colourway’ come about?
Lyrically, Colourway loosely plays on the idea of using colour as mental or physical states. I think the idea came about after watching a Bowie documentary following his death. Melodically, it’s three unused songs absorbed into one.
Who/what influences your work?
The inspiration behind what a song sounds like – the lyrics or why i’m making the song in the first place – will change. A guitar tone from another artist might inspire me to want to achieve something similar, while lyrically I’m more likely to be inspired by people, places and memories.

Absorbed
What are your goals for rest of 2017?
I’ve just been setting up a new studio space for myself so my main goal is to produce some new songs, release more music and play more shows before hibernating for a few months.
We ask this many artists that we interview. If you could give any advice to an aspiring musician what would it be?
Learn how to produce your own music, even just to the standard where you can make your own demos. Persevere: there’s a lot in involved in being an artist, producer and musician that I don’t find easy. Just keep playing and making the music that you want to make. If you like it, the odds are that someone else will too, whatever the purpose of the music might be.
So, what is your definition of culture?
What I think culture is? my opinion on certain areas of culture? Culture as a whole? I’m not sure how I can define it. I live in the UK, so the culture here is vastly incomparable to that of China or Saudi Arabia. The culture that surrounds me, my culture, the people I know and interact with, the conversations I have, the knowledge I have and the interests I have… they’re are mainly rooted in the arts and in my case, music. I’m not interested in sport and I think religion is fairly ridiculous.

With her new single out now, Dagny joined us to talk about her and her music.
Hi, how are you?
Hi, I’m very well thank you!
So, how did you get into music?
I’ve always been into music, and grew up with musician parents who play Jazz and Bossa Nova. I started writing my own songs during my teenage years, probably to get some “love frustration” out. Haha.
How did your song ‘Wearing Nothing’ come about?
It came about in a studio in Stockholm with Ludvig Söderberg and Alx Reuterskiöld. They had an idea going that I immediately fell in love with and connected with. We worked on it for a few days but then didn’t get together again for another six months to finish the lyrics. We took our time and it was a really good process in which we really considered every single line to make sure we got the message across.
What are the challenges of making a song like that?
We wished to write a song about being completely open and bare with someone. We wanted it to be intimate, and play on the idea of being naked with someone but without being too literal. That was a fine balance! I’m also used to doing big chorus with tons of energy and production, so it was new to me to make a song with a chorus that drops down.
What are your plans for the rest of 2017?
I’m doing 32 festivals this summer, so at the moment we’re flying between cities and performing lots, which is awesome. And I’m just finalizing all the songs I’m releasing this year. Lots of goodies to come!
Describe yourself in one word.
Kind. I think! I hope!
Describe your music in one word.
Energetic.
What is your definition of culture?
Exciting. And I want to experience as many different cultures as I can.

With their latest single ‘Messin’ Around’ released with Armada featuring Ke’nekt, the duo that forms Wallaby joined us for an interview to talk about music and culture.
Hi, how are you guys?
Great! Really happy about everything we’ve been putting out lately!
So, how did you guys form?
We met during college, we studied music production together and started working right away. We had a different name back then though, we formed Wallaby in January 2016!
How did your song ‘Messin’ Around’ come about?
We had a really simple beat, piano and drums, with kind of an hip-hop vibe. We sent it over to Ke’nekt and she sent back this really laid back, chill vocal, so we went with that. We used her voice to make the drop sound, and replaced some of the piano parts with synths and guitars, and added some male vocals as well. It was a lot of fun!
What are the challenges of making a song like ‘Messin’ Around’?
We think the real challenge is keeping the vision, channeling the ideas you have in the right direction, without loosing focus. Not overdoing things is not as easy as it seems!
What are your plans for the rest of 2017?
This summer we are working on a lot of new material that we’ll be releasing this fall, so we are really excited about that! We are also often co-producing other artist’s records, so we’ll definitely spend a lot of time in the studio in the upcoming months.
Describe yourselves in one word.
Is “Wallaby” a valid answer?
Describe your music in one word.
Definitely Wallaby on this one.
What is your definition of culture?
We think culture is the impact that trends and movements have on the people who follow them, and everybody around them. Growing up during the explosion of the Electronic Music culture felt like going into untapped territory with every new song you listened to, and keeping that excitement alive is what keeps things going and what makes this movement always bigger and stronger. Having a platform on which we can mix the influences of all the cultures that inspired us growing up is ultimately what excites us!

Chao uses his work as an expressive outlet for his emotions, with each piece reflecting a different kind of mood and story. These dreamlike characters are enhanced by his use of gestural language which gives the works a pinch of whimsical energy and empathy.

Good thanks.
