Tutti Frutti
From Street art to new pop art to the gallery temple.
Street art is a temporary intervention, as it is subject to changes, weather and urban transformation; it disappears or overlaps with other art, as does every aspect of contemporary culture. It accompanies the observer's eye in its daily movements, restoring meaning and visibility to places otherwise abandoned or simply forgotten by the gaze and routine.
The artists on show are now part of an international iconography and urban culture. They already have become objects of interest to collectors and galleries.
From the most cutting-edge Southeast Asian art scene, in a path that winds between the cities of Manila, Jogjakarta, Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok they play with their works, interacting perfectly with urban surfaces while at the same time penetrate with ease the temple of the galleries.
In their images they often use characters coming from Japanese cartoon iconography or comics aesthetic, creating playful interactions in a remix of urban history and culture, touching upon themes such as the vulnerability and strength of the human being and the passage of time.
