D13EGO
D13EGO is an Italian-born painter based in London. His comic book inspired paintings combine pop art and street art aesthetics while commenting on the commercialism and consumerism of Western culture. Quoting the pop art father Roy Lichtenstein amongst his major inspirations, D13ego describes his art as Urban Pop. His “Badass Girl Collection” was born from the love of retro comics, street art techniques, elements of pop art and a good dose of irony. First created as a series of graffiti on the streets of London, it eventually found its way to canvas and galleries in 2017. “My technique consists of painstakingly hand-cutting layers upon layers of stencils (sometimes up to 30) which I then spray paint on canvas or wood panels. The final effect spans from super-realistic to pure street, from portrait to collage- like optical illusions.”
