Stom500's "Cortez."
On view beginning January 8th, 2022 at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, California is artist Stom500's solo exhibition, "Cortez."
Cultivating a delirious and humorous universe fed by the euphoric energy of cartoons, this self-taught virtuoso from a neighboring village in the Swiss municipality of Basel multiplies his talents. Trained as a graphic designer, professional illustrator and renowned graffiti artist for the past five years, Stom500 is, as he amusingly calls himself, a true "Swiss Army knife.” Spray, brushes, acrylic,large murals, and small canvases are all in his wheelhouse. He uses mediums and styles as diverse with a predilection for animal themes that, under the veneer of fun, carry a relevant message, often humanistic or ecological. Like his swirling bees or his apparently incompatible bestiaries, like the crow and the fox inspired by the fables of La Fontaine.
