JBAK — Karl Addison and James Bullough

JBAK is a creative partnership between artists/painters James Bullough and Addison Karl. Originally from Baltimore and Seattle, Bullough and Addison are currently living and working in Berlin.  

"JBAK have blended their contrasting styles into a mashup of antonyms: realism vs. illustrative, expressive vs. precise, hard vs. soft, black vs. a spectrum. The pair seeks desirable locations paying close attention to the space and the people that live and work within it. Their intent is not to disrupt but rather, to integrate their art into the existing environment, creating harmony, balance, and adding life to an otherwise colorless wall. Together, JBAK create large-scale murals, which highlight their differing design aesthetics while at the same time, reaching a common goal—to give people a reason to look up, around, and beyond themselves." — Jennifer Weitman
