Chicago Artworks on Display: Explore the Current Space

Opake is one of Britain’s most sought-after street artists, known for experimenting with the fragmentation of Pop Art as a lens to raise issues around addiction, disintegration, and the societal impacts on cultural erosion. 

Stikki Peaches is one of Canada’s most sought-after contemporary street artists—an anonymous Montreal-based artist known for fusing pop culture, classical references, and graffiti art into multi-layered visual statements. 

Since first appearing on the streets in the late 2000s, his wheatpasted posters began popping up in cities like New York, Paris, London, and Berlin—instantly recognizable for their collage mashups of historical figures, comic book heroes, and celebrity icons.

Working under a pseudonym, Stikki’s practice is rooted in the DIY ethos of street art while drawing from fine art, fashion, and punk culture. His mixed-media pieces—ranging from wheatpaste murals to tile assemblages and works on canvas—blend pop culture with hand-painted details, intricate symbolism, and deconstructed tile work, making each piece a complex, textured, one-of-a-kind statement. With collectors including high-profile figures like Lady Gaga and exhibitions at Art Basel Miami and many international art galleries, his work continues to gain international notoriety.
