Italian born graphic designer and visual artist Andrea Visconti works at the cutting edge of contemporary print making. Inspired by 80s Neo Expressionism, early graffiti art and contemporary street art scenes, Visconti draws these different styles together, using digital techniques to create his own, unique aesthetic. His work explores the relationship between humans and technology, as well as changing perceptions of reality, for an artistic practice that is both visually compelling and powerfully thought provoking. To mark the 56th birthday of the late American artist Jean Michel Basquiat, Visconti has released ‘Jean Michel’, a portrait of the eponymous artist, created through cutting edge, digital processes. The final result is striking Basquiat’s majestic features have been crafted form computerised shapes, which explode outwards in spiky shards to create an incredible sense of dynamism. An image like no other, Visconti shows us how modern day technology might interact with past masters to create stunning new aesthetics.
