Axel will be doing exclusive live customization on Skateboards for the occasion. Will engage with the public, Q&A and share his unique art and knowledge.
Axel is a visual artist based in Dubai. He was born in French Caribbean Guadeloupe and has previously lived and worked in Paris and New York. Axel is a painter working with diverse elements of collage, calligraphic gesture, and dripped and sprayed paint. His compositions incorporate open-color blocks and more intricate, dense, pattern-based structures. Created through attention to meditative thinking, spontaneity, and unconscious action, at times his work also incorporates strong emotional impetus.
Central to Axel’s vision is a deep-rooted natural inclination to manifest soulful expression, creating a visual language for a very personal, internalized experience of imaginative thought and cascades of human emotion. Axel is drawn to painting as a way to process experiences and ideas, seeing it as an ultimately regenerative process. He tries to retain a degree of natural and childlike, uninhibited expression, thinking of his process as a conduit for emotion and human experience. His prints and skateboard works are microcosms of the larger painted pieces, capturing graphic and dynamic details that have an additional layer of abstraction while still retaining the fluidity of the drawn gesture in their line.
Nil 227 is a French graphic designer and artist working and living in Dubai. His work explores the intricacy of human relationships through handmade colorful typography. Originally interested in graffiti, he collects words and signs in the street to assemble them in an open diary with the use of pink and light blue, his signature colors.
Poke Two is a Malaysian graffiti artist based in Dubai who started doing graffiti in 2001 when he was studying in Melbourne, Australia. His background in Graphic Design helps him develop his passion for style writing / lettering from the computer to the street. His style is more on lettering/typography mixed with color combinations and effects from any medium he is using.
Using the street as his canvas, he expresses his arts and adds more colors to the walls, making them more lively, in hope to inspire the young ones to be creative and believe in what they do. He also wishes to prove that graffiti can always be something beautiful and appreciated if given a proper space and time, rather than the perspective of graffiti being associated with vandalism.
Muhriz has also participated in a number of street art festivals such as breaking the Guinness World Book of Records in 2013 together with 120 artists around the world, Malaysia Book of Records in 2007, and has won competitions at 1st prize, 2nd prize and 3rd prize since 2011.

Rubab Zahra is a self-taught Contemporary Calligraphy and Abstract artist. She is shifting into the art of Calligraffiti. Elevating and challenging her remarkable experience in calligraphy into urbanizing it into Calligraffiti. She is inspired by international Calligraffiti artists like Elseed who put Calligraffiti on the global art scene.
Calligraffiti is an art form that combines calligraphy, typography, and graffiti. It can be classified as either abstract expressionism or abstract vandalism. It is defined as a visual art that integrates letters into compositions that attempt to communicate a broader message through writing that has been aesthetically altered to move beyond the literal meaning. Simply put, it is the conscious effort of making a word or group of words into a visual composition.[1] As such it is meant to be both an aesthetic experience and provocative art—mixing tradition and precision with modern unbridled self-expression.
