La 180 - Just Hands 00

The artworks will be sold with an authenticity certificate signed by artist. La180 was born in 1977 in Salerno, actually he lives and works in Rome. Already in the 90s he began to take an interest in graffiti, starting the research that led him to develop his peculiar style. After his diploma, he moved first to Padua and then to Rome, where he studied Psychology. In both cities he met several artists of the Italian writing scene, thus undergoing influences that led him to evolve and improve his techniques and style. In 1999, with three other artists known as “Coca”, “Murak” and “Traqu”, he started the group “La 180”. Years of great artistic activity followed the birth of “180”, during which Mauresp painted in different European and Italian cities meeting numerous exponents of the international writing scene. Several publications of his graffiti appeared in magazines such as “Paper Experience” of Ancona, the Milanese “Tribe” and the French “Explicit graphics”. In the series of paintings Contaminations, inspired by the movement of raves and techno music, the artist questioned the degradation of industrial and suburban areas and the impact of environmental pollution on nature, he created the character known as “Saiborg”, a super writer who fights against the contradictions of modern society and he also experimented in the graphic and pictorial field. Subsequently, his interest focused on the computer graphics and animation sector and he attended the RAI school of multimedia design and worked for various companies and production studios. Currently the artist works as a designer and painter, continuing to develop and research his language through collaboration with art galleries as well as associations and organizations for the redevelopment of urban spaces.
