PONGO, 3D Marilyn Monroe
High-quality artist, pioneer of 3D on wall and canvas. Pongo is a Wildstyler and as such researches, designs and evolves the structures of letters, writing and metropolitan images. Starting from the early 90s, he painted every surface with particular attraction to trains and subways, but without neglecting the large walls of the suburbs, thus becoming one of the most prominent characters in Italy.
Very active both in Milan and internationally, he participates in shows and events throughout Europe, and intensifying relations with American crews, relationships born in the 80s during a stay in New York. He joins the TNB and starts artistic collaborations with the TAT, very famous New York historical groups already active in the 70s and considered the pioneers of Writing. His activity as a "Road Writer" lasted several years until 2000.
With the new millennium he shifts his interests towards philosophical research, nature and the sustainability of life on our planet. Today he uses painting towards artistic choices that are useful for his own and others' human growth, without forgetting frontier experiences, in line with his own past of Public Art.
Pongo scratches the future to affirm that there will be a future, revealing the extreme effects of the obtuseness of the governments of the world. He makes visible the possible consequences of the systems that produced them. No longer the graffiti as a pressing invitation to raise awareness of urban decay, but the scratch on the habitat, the crumbling future of the planet.
It creates out of focus and sequences of parallel tangibility planes that they can take on consistency in three dimensions, expressing the enigmatic power of cryptic signs, recurring symbolic traces with an almost esoteric meaning. Mathematical equations that refer to the idea of infinity stand out on works of apocalyptic language, placed on parallel planes.
From 1999 to today he has participated in numerous solo and group shows, always present at the most important graffiti jams in the world and lives between Milan and New York.
