Born in Rabat, Morocco, Hedi El Kholti moved to Los Angeles in 1992, working in the film industry for several years before earning a BFA degree at Art Center College of Design. Over the years he developed an intimate collage practice that materialized in a series of books and smaller fanzines. Sometimes glossy, sometimes Xeroxed, the collages draw content from various eras and include movie stills, book covers, and images from art publications and gay magazines. Part pop culture time capsule, part unfettered stream of consciousness, these works are deeply personal and autobiographical.

Hedi El Kholti has compiled a new folio of his esoteric collaged works, bound into the catalogue for Made in L.A. 2020, and a new double-sided poster, presented as a takeaway stack in the galleries of the Hammer Museum and The Huntington.

Multidisciplinary artist Yana Tammah has taken a variety of artistic journeys in her life so far. In her childhood years, she was strongly shaped by her Eastern European upbringing and later by her life as an immigrant in the U.S., where she first discovered her creative talents, as well as her interest in the glamorous fashion world.

Driven by her devotion to sharing her vast knowledge and expertise with others, Yana founded her own lifestyle brand "SSTAGIONI" and authored two books on developing a personal style. Throughout her creative journey, Yana always believed that from suffering there comes strength and that every hardship ultimately reveals a better side of life. This profound belief is what inspired her label "SSTAGIONI", which translates as "Four Seasons" in Italian. The label perfectly embodies the rhythm of life's constant changes, where warmth only exists because of cold, and light only because of darkness.

Later on, with her artistic curiosity still burning bright, Yana discovered a new medium to visually represent her experiences and emotions in a whole new way with her experimentation with abstract painting. She founded her art label "SSTAGIONI Art by Yana Tammah" in 2022 as a body of abstract work, embracing the feminist movement and incorporating masculine inspirations to create an open, relatable, and emerging dialogue of contemporary artwork. Along her journey, Yana has experienced various hardships, which have shaped her art and continue to influence it to this day. So far, her expressive paintings have touched the hearts of their viewers at numerous exhibitions worldwide and have also been featured in well- known television productions.

SSTAGIONI Art paintings have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including in United Kindom (London), Italy (Milan, Venice), Germany (Berlin), Spain (Madrid, Palma de Mallorca), Switzerland (Zurih, Zug), Russia (Moscow).

In US as well (New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Denver).

Based in her native Los Angeles, Laurie Raskin has exhibited her vividly colored abstract paintings and collages throughout the world. Trained as a designer, Raskin's education at the California Institute of the Arts, where she earned a BFA and MFA, awakened in her the perceptions and skills to work in fine as well as applied art, and her ability to generate energetic, high-keyed imagery now finds her working pictorially. She has shown in galleries, museums and art fairs in Tokyo, Paris, Istanbul, New Delhi, Brussels and Miami as well as New Orleans and throughout California. In the last few years Raskin has licensed her art on such diverse applications as a fashion line in England, a vodka label for a Michigan-based micro distillery, and a designer carpet line resulting from a collaboration with Didden & Co in Brussels.
