Running from 28th February to 5th March, NEO – art & culture lab VogelART’s Grand Titans will bring together a spectacular collection of modern pop and urban art, from sculptures to photographic works and graphic masterpieces.

Featuring icons of the skateboarding and graffiti scenes, the exhibition will not only pay homage to the vibrant art of the 1980s and 1990s but also highlight its transformation into a global phenomenon. Once rooted in counterculture, street art has now entered the mainstream, with works by artists fetching millions at auction.

The exhibition will explore the fusion of artistic movements that have emerged since the early days of street art, from New York’s street culture of hip-hop and graffiti to Japan’s manga-inspired artistry. Visitors will encounter Shepard Fairey, known for his iconic Hope poster for President Barack Obama, and KAWS, a pop artist whose style merges cartoon imagery with contemporary art and who was recently tapped for a collaboration with Dior. The works of Takashi Murakami, the Japanese visionary celebrated for his colourful, manga-infused art and partnerships with Louis Vuitton, will also be featured alongside legends such as Banksy and JR.

Adding a playful yet profound touch is exhibit curators Daniel & Geo Fuchs’ ToyGiants series, born from their collaboration with collector Selim Varol, whose collection includes over 10,000 toy figurines. These vibrant, kitschy art toys are staged as vivid, hyper-stylised portraits, capturing the essence of pop culture in miniature form.

A vernissage will take place on 27th February at the gallery ahead of the show’s grand opening the following day. For more information, visit neovogelartlab.com.
