IABO - Iablo Picasso (Pablo Picasso - Portrait)

"Reinforced Concrete" – From the street to your home
The new cycle of IABO’s works plays on the double meaning of the title: "Reinforced Concrete", which, by crossing out the "R", becomes "Reinforced Love". A wordplay that transforms the idea of solidity and strength of concrete into an emotional bond with the material and the artist’s artistic path.

The choice to paint on cement panels is not random but deeply symbolic. Those who know IABO know that his artistic journey began in the 1990s as a graffiti writer and metropolitan signer, and then established himself, from 2003, as one of the first Neapolitan street artists.
In the following years, his work moved from the street to the canvas, entering the world of contemporary art. With over 100 exhibitions around the world – including museums, galleries, and public and private spaces – IABO has consolidated a unique and recognizable language.

With "Reinforced Concrete", the artist returns to his origins, paying homage to his past as a writer when he painted on the cement walls of the city. This project rediscovers the most authentic, raw, and lived urban aesthetics, restoring that metropolitan flavor that characterizes street art.

The protagonists of these works are his famous "profiles", a series of characters reinvented with his distinctive stroke. The works are made with stencils and spray cans and, although the subjects recur, each piece is unique, thanks to the different textures and irregularities of the cement. Moreover, IABO uses lost-shape stencils, which cannot be reused, making every creation unrepeatable.
The works are already framed with a suspension system, creating a floating effect and enhancing the materiality of the cement. Each piece measures 65x65 cm (including the frame), is signed on the back and is accompanied by a stamped and signed authenticity certificate by the artist.
