Similar in concept to Chinese artist Liu Bolin, he has worked in various cities across the United States, Chicago and Daejeon City, South Korea. I hope he comes to England soon.

Cayetano Ferrer - Artist
Cayetano Ferrer uses found objects to make art that plays with optical illusions and trompe-l'oeil, forcing the viewer to question if his work is even really there -or in the middle of teleporting off to somewhere else.

Artist Darlek A.K.A James Marshall
Artist Dalek, who's real name is James Marshall, was born in America and had an interest in punk rock, skateboarding and graffiti while growing up and later turned to cartoons and Japanese pop.
He studied at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Art Institute of Chicago but his major turning point was working as Takashi Murakami's assistant in 2001. He is best known for his iconic Space Monkey character, which is a sort of catatonic, twisted robot/mouse, but his complex abstract patterns are also amazing and it is his use of colour that stands out for me.
