“Untitled / Rendering / Who Am I?” (2021) (Animated)
Starting from his personal experience, which the artist has projected in his paintings, Fauves has decided to use the subject of cartoons as a symbol representing our body. A body often dominated and enslaved by our ego, in which all the elements and details exposed recall the extreme dissatisfaction to which the human soul is continually subjected in contemporary society. A story that becomes, in a metaphorical sense, the search for one’s superhero who in most cases hides in human weaknesses.
“Finding Freedom” (2019)
Isaac “Drift” Wright is a United States Army special operations veteran who learned to cope with PTSD and depression through urban exploring and documenting cities from unseen perspectives through photography.
