Publisher's Synopsis
Based in Valencia, Spain, Felipe Pantone has made a name for himself around the world. Pantone's art is a meditation on the ways we consume visual information. Pantone uses various software to create work which is then is translated into frescoes, murals, paintings, and sculptures which give a tactile extension of what is occurring in the digital world.
"I needed my graffiti to stand out amongst other graffiti writers. I increased the contrast in my pieces (pictorially), so I ended up using only black and white op art type elements juxtaposed with the most saturated colors. At some point, I got rid of the letters of my graffiti name, and I started doing abstract compositions. I titled them Optichromies as an homage to the master Carlos Cruz-Diez's Physichromies."
