Solo201. SoloRome, italy 1982. Devourer of comics and pop culture, he discovered the world of graffiti at the high school. After, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, under the guidance of Michele Cossyro, he transformed his way of expressing himself through painting on canvas, experimenting with classic techniques and moving his language from the typical writing lettering to the figurative. In 2008 he graduated with full marks, interviewing Ronnie Cutrone in New York. Subsequently Solo, combines the world of graffiti, made of spray cans, with the pop figures that he fixed on canvas during his studies, making superheroes in crisis appear on the walls of Rome, which will remain the hallmark of his artistic research. Raised with the values of the heroes encountered in comics, he amplifies those teachings by transferring them to the walls of cities and thus making them available to everyone. Over the last 15 years he has painted on walls and exhibited his works in numerous important galleries, from Paris to Prague, up to Satka in Russia, where in 2017, he was chosen together with Diamond, with whom he shares the studio, to represent Italy at the international street art biennial, and in Miami, where in 2013 he exhibited at Art Basel. At the same time as his artistic production with walls, canvases, sculptures and silk-screen prints, he brings his experience by teaching in schools, prisons and healthcare facilities. Over the years he has collaborated with underground realities such as Respect Project, with which he creates clothing, and with the largest international brands, including Valentino with a capsule in 2016, Marvel-Disney, Warner Bros and Panini, thanks to the global diffusion of cinecomics, and Louis Vuitton, which commissioned a series of hand-painted trunks between 2019 and 2020

OKEDART219. OKEDART I consider myself as an eclectic and multidisciplinary artist. I have experimented with drawing, painting, mural painting, engraving, ceramics and tattoos, as well as music and film. I believe that as sensible human beings, we should not limit ourselves to just one discipline, nevertheless take advantage of that sensitivity that characterizes us, and experiment new ways to communicate. Sometimes it is good to find one discipline in which we can communicate in a better way, however if we are changing with the time, the things we want to say will probably change as well. If so, it could be beneficial to continue in the quest, inspiring others with different languages and contents, keep us fresh, curious, and with a desire to learn. For the same curiosity I think it is difficult for me to have only one art statement to talk about; it is like a person who only talks about one thing, it is boring. I think there are certain statements that definitively interests me: nature, and recently, collect moments, people and memories, through still life. Nature has surrounded me for as long as I know. From my earliest memories in my grandparent’s garden, as well as the garden of my home. I saw the plants as huge because of my age, and I felt like an explorer in a gigantic jungle. I grew up with these plants, and after winning a drawing contest at the age of 4, I adopted drawing as my second tool to communicate. I haven't stopped drawing since then, and what has persisted over time is that I keep drawing plants, imaginary or existing flowers; now I collect plants on paper and at my home. I like to travel and Paint everywhere that I go. thanks for have the time to see my work. OKEDA Vagabundo.
