Born in Cadiz (1976), Jose de Pazos is fascinated by both Pop Art and the Street Art scene. These qualities are reflected in the work; JOSE de PAZOS fills his characters, advertising designs or pop icons with irony, focusing on the excesses and deviations of the consumer society through the use of known brands and the sense of humor to send his message. Using texture overlays with stencil, collages and different mixed media with acrylics and sprays on different supports, makes his work very recognizable and with a marked style, where he shows his passion for textures and layers as a spectator, and incorporating that feeling to his work.
ARTIST STATEMENT "I am from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. In the late 1980s I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal for two years. During this two-year stint, I visited every major city in India, finding myself exploring the huge slums found there. On my return to home, I moved from the Mid-West to escape the snow to teach High School Art in Orange County, California. Since finishing my MFA at Cal State Fullerton, I have been exhibiting in galleries both at home and abroad.. My work is most often landscapes. A major portion of my output is paintings of slums of the developing world, where I often add an element of western cultural privilege (and oblivion) into settings of urban blight. Inspiration for what I call 'Slumscapes' comes from first-hand experience travelling. Most often I return over and over to my favorite destination: India. In the vast poverty-stricken fringes of its vast megalopolises I trip out on how the economic disparities are obscenely extreme. I've been spending a lot of time in Mumbai slums: photographing, filming, creating Plein Aire paintings and creating interactive street art. Besides depicting slums, my artwork portrays post-apocalyptic debris fields, landfills, and detritus-cluttered deserts. The Juxtaposition of Disney themes and beloved characters (i.e.: Mickey Mouse) with all these dystopias best conveys my personal views. Pondering contemporary social, political, economical and philosophical conundrums, I cant help but feel absurdly helpless, pessimistic and humored about the future of Western Civilization. - Jeff Gillette
Death NYC is a street artist from New York where her fame is hitting new heights. Her pseudonym is actually an acronym of "Don't Easily Abandon The Hope", which is often misleading for the public, especially when the artist writes her slogan "Death is free" in the streets. In her work, Death mocks the media, by distorting the images of the popular culture. One of her most famous works is Mao Zedong's representation with a pink bow in his hair and pink lipstick.
