Suso33 (V.O.)

Metropolis devotes a special program to 25 years of career multidisciplinary artist SUSO33 (Madrid, 1973), from its beginnings as a graffiti writer until his last pieces of video and performing arts. SUSO33 is a precursor of iconographic graffiti as well as a pioneer of Post-Graffiti, Street-Art and Urban Art. He is the most established artist of live painting in Spain.

Currently developing a project called “Pintura Escénica en Acción” ("Painting Scene in Action"), he uses multiple art forms to convey global conceptual aspects of communication via performance (art, speech, audio and visual images - painting) to create a live 'performance painting'. His work is controversial as it is internationally recognized in formal settings such as museums, art spaces and galleries, while its roots and continuous expression are found in public spaces, where the art form is considered illegal. SUSO33 claims the public space as his domain to express what is essential in order to communicate between artist and audience.
