Bio |
Gola Hundun took his first steps in the art world with traditional lettering graffiti at the age of 12, but soon took a hiatus from public work and focused solely on painting and drawing at home until he was 21, while studying at Liceo Artistico in Ravenna and the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. In 2003 he moved to Barcelona and witnessed the “DIY-style” being alive and well in the streets, and because of this active street art community he decided to bring his work back to public spaces. Next to his painting adventures he creates sculptures that incorporate fibre, plant life, electronics, and live performance. His sculptural work often weaves into public installations and paintings.
Gola feels ideologically closer to the animal sphere than to the human one. He is interested in showing different aspects of the relationship between human beings and the rest of biosphere, exploring themes such as collaboration vs domination, genetic industry, shamanism, vegetarianism and spirituality. His influences come from cartoons & video games, the post-human culture and psychedelic art. Even at this very moment, his many travels around the world have played a big part in changing his perception and style. |
