We are proud to announce the opening of the Oral Fixation Gallery. This project has been in the works for over a year now, and we have finally pulled together the work of five amazing artists from all over the world, to constitute our inaugural exhibit. The artists are:

Vladimir Dubko, Belarus
A series of astonishingly original illustrations, inspired by the worlds of pop culture and fashion

Steen Brogaard, Denmark
Photographs from a Nokia cameraphone, full of warmth and texture, reminiscent of old LOMO images

Juan Ospina, Colombia
Hand-drawn illustrations providing social commentary on the politics and corruption rampant in contemporary Colombia

Conrado Almada, Brazil
A series of pages from Almada’s sketchbooks, consisting of wildly imaginative drawings and illustrations inspired by Almada’s two years living in Italy

Joon Powell, USA
A series of photographs and written vignettes of Tennesseeans who recently lost their healthcare coverage.

As you will see, this collection of work is diverse and startling for its candor, originality, and craft. We hope you enjoy seeing this work as much as we enjoyed collecting it.

As we have built Oral Fixation Mints over the past 2+ years, art and design have always played a seminal role. Henry and Eric compose amazing music with Rich & Royal, I (Jon) make interactive artworks over at Number 27, and all of our products are heavily influenced by the principles of art and design, namely an eye to detail, and an obsessively perfectionist approach to product development. The gallery is our way of giving back to the global community of talented young artists who inspire us to keep making beautiful products.

This is an exciting day for Oral Fixation, and we hope it will be the start of a great tradition! Here’s to art!
