MNSTR is a shared idea, an artist-driven collaboration, and most importantly it is how we think art should be produced and shared. MR/MRS MNSTR, aka B e n and O l i, are the creative duo behind MNSTR (pronounced Monster). Photography, Animation, Graphic Design, Screen printing, VFX, Marketing, and Curation.  MNSTR is the creative sum of us, a multi-functioning artistic space that accomodated the production and exhibition of local and international artists, collaborative, group, and individual productions. We were once situated in a loft located in Mount Pleasant, 'Vancouver', our home was divided in half for our creative studio. We have since moved on from this space and won't be hosting exhibitions in a physical space until further notice as the pandemic changed the path of our creative journey. We are using the MNSTR platform to curate and highlight creatives and their works. What's behind the name? This is our lil' monster that we have created together, our biggest collaborative project to date. ‘Gallery’ is an interpretation of how we want to share our aesthetic. 

 

Our years of experience as creative professionals have helped shape the way we see art, it molded our opinion of how art and making art can and should be enjoyed. We believe good art can be accessible and affordable, we appreciate new artists who bring their own understanding of culture and dedication to craftsmanship and who need an avenue to share their work. Collectively having lived and worked in Jakarta, Kansas, Auckland, Sydney, and Singapore now bring their enthusiasm and knowledge to the West coast of Canada.  We like Street art, graffiti, pop art, narrative-driven social commentary, conceptual photography, illustration, printmaking, tattoo art, and graphic design. We enjoy discovering fresh art + styles + all sorts of artists who love to create. We love to connect with other creatives to talk about art and also ideas for collaborations... Just hit us up!
