Jef Aérosol is the professional name of Jean-François Perroy, a French stencil artist who lives and works in Lille. His figurative street art combines extensive black-and-white imagery with a recurring red arrow, depicting cultural figures as well as anonymous people. His practice includes large murals alongside smaller street stencils and gallery work. Northeastern University commissioned him in June 2015 to install a large stencil on the Huntington Avenue side of Cargill Hall and additional stencils around its Boston campus, under the project heading French Intervention. His own chronological portfolio records CHUUUTTT !!! at Place Stravinsky in Paris in 2011, See what u luv what u see at Lyon’s Groupama Stadium in 2018, and Je verrai les printemps on rue Daviel in Paris in 2022.

Jeff Schomberg is a Reno-based artist and fabricator working with steel, stainless steel and aluminum. His Monumental Word Series is a collaboration with Laura Kimpton, combining large letterforms, perforated bird silhouettes and illumination in public gathering places. Washoe County documents their BELIEVE at Reno’s City Plaza; Downtown Arlington credits both artists for DREAM, acquired in 2015 and relocated to Rotary Dream Park in 2024. Engineering collaborator RBHU records the pair’s XO outside Terminal B at San José Mineta International Airport as completed in 2022. Schomberg’s artist biography also describes fabrication collaboration with Hank Willis Thomas. This individual profile distinguishes his sculpture and fabrication practice while preserving the authorship of collaborators; inclusion does not imply representation by Big Art Partners or availability of the documented works.

Jeff Tangen is a metal sculptor associated with Port Townsend, Washington, whose work transforms discarded tools, machine parts and lenses into playful forms. Price Sculpture Forest presents Playa Flowers, combining flower pods previously shown at Burning Man with a separately made centerpiece. Its account identifies railroad light lenses and mainframe-computer disks among the materials, and describes the assembled work responding to light through the forest canopy. Burning Man’s 2022 archive credits Tangen with Disciples of the Dust for Pipe Dreams, an installation described with a bronze pipe, perforated dome, rotating screens and a zoetrope. His 2025 entry, Don’t Pick the Flowers, uses bright colors, reflective surfaces and illuminated flower forms. The forest installation and event entries have distinct documentation; their dates should not be treated as interchangeable.

Jessica Levine builds large figurative and botanical sculptures from individually cut, bent and welded steel. The Midtown Association identifies her as the owner of Bear Metal Welding in South Lake Tahoe and documents Internal Exposure in Sacramento. Made for Burning Man in 2019, that work combines a human head with movable flower-like petals and optical elements in the eyes; Levine’s portfolio credits engineering to RBHU. Strong Magic, dated 2022, takes the form of a lioness-human figure with interactive flame effects, and the artist describes an alternative lighting-only presentation. Her 2025 Life Labyrinth uses small steel-rod pieces to build a human form illuminated by changing light. These examples document sculptural and fabrication experience. Website rental language is an artist’s advertisement, rather than confirmation of current inventory, permissions or installation readiness.

Johanna Poethig works across public art, painting, installation and performance, developing projects with communities and architectural settings. Her practice includes civic facilities, parks and transit corridors, using murals, metal elements and sculptural forms to connect local histories with everyday public space. For AC Transit’s Cultural Corridor/Urban Flow, her CV records a nine-mile corridor between Oakland and San Leandro with artwork at thirty-four stations in 2020. She served as lead artist alongside Mildred Howard, Joyce Hsu and Peter Richards. Resilient City, commissioned by San Jose’s Public Art Program for its fire-training and emergency-management facilities, combines laser-cut metal figures, a cityscape and a non-repeating geometric pattern. The project credits One Hat One Hand’s fabrication process. Its dedicated page gives 2023, while her CV lists 2024; those source dates remain distinct from a confirmed installation date.

Josh Zubkoff creates participatory sculpture combining large steel structures, geometry and programmed light. Looking Up Arts credits him as lead artist for Spider Trap, its Burning Man 2023 Honoraria project. Nine bolted steel-tube sections form a giant spider; its front legs support two webs, with more than six thousand LEDs in the upper web. For Interlace, listed as a 2024 Honoraria project, he shares lead credit with Srikanth Guttikonda. The project description presents human-operated hyperboloid columns whose outer rings transform straight structural elements between pillar and hourglass configurations, while addressable lights respond to movement. These credits place Zubkoff within a collaborative practice of fabrication, electronics and interaction. Looking Up Arts is a San Francisco organization supporting large-scale installations; that organizational base does not independently establish his home or studio address.
