Bio |
As an illustration student in the nineties, Spogo set up an atelier-studio with two classmates. They started an extensive research on techniques, experimenting with the implementation of figurative art and contemporary languages. His first paintings are related to popular culture, urban landscape and the nature of his city, Badalona.
In 2006 he discovered the world of street art, marking the style of his future works. Through collective and solo mural-making, he created a style of graphic synthesis drawings mixed with intuitive compositions. Lines overlap and are mixed together, increasing the volume of the composition in a controlled manner. Much experiments with different materials, techniques and stencils, have improved his skill dramatically. After these years many collaborations followed, often finding these murals in abandoned factories and around his hometown. Creating organic shapes to represent his personal evocations concerning nature and food, together with the use of geometric forms and patterns on decorative elements, clearly show that his work is ‘written’ in a personal abstract language. His long-term goal is to make paintings coexist with architecture. An aesthetic result with balancing shapes and colours that respect the buildings and environment. Similar to his most recent work. |
