Duong Zai — Hanoi, Vietnam
“For me, Pop Graphics is characterised by eye-catching colours that attract people, inspired by comics, movies, advertising and popular culture.

Sapo Lendário (Natália Lima & Junior Ramos) — Caruaru, Brazil

Ruang Sempit Studio (Deqie Febrian) — Bandung, Indonesia
“Pop for me is an expression of what I see or what I like or what inspires me. Something colourful, bold, attractive, that cheers and makes people ask ‘what is that?’. It uses techniques such as colours and mixed characters, and makes people wonder.”...
Ryan Paul Ragnini — Moscow, Russia
“Pop is mostly elements from popular culture that are remastered and/or transformed in order to create new, powerful messages. The inspiration for my illustrations comes from Japanese culture, such as its folklore, food, music, theatre, wood prints, sculptures, manga, pottery and proverbs. The fact that Japanese culture is very popular globally allows me to use its elements in order to...
