AtZ
(American, b. 1980’s)
“When I paint, it pours.”
— AtZ
AtZ is the first artist from Arizona carried by the gallery and already one of the most popular artists in the gallery’s storied history. AtZ has mastered the ability to transform common imagery into meaningful and introspective pieces. AtZ works predominantly in acrylics, spray paint, and stencil. Having had no formal training, he looks to his predecessors in the world of street art like Crash, Banksy, and Bambi, as well as the Pop Art Masters including Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. AtZ finds himself particularly drawn to Renaissance art, greatly impacted by the works he saw in museums growing up. He sees a parallel between his work and Renaissance art, which sought to capture the experience of the individual, the beauty and mystery of the world. He continues to grow with each painting, considering each work of art created as an integral part of his artistic journey that teaches him something valuable to carry forward. He describes painting and the act of creation as the thing that bring him peace. AtZ finds his inspiration in everyone he meets and the volatile and changing world around him.
Like a few other contemporary street artists, AtZ highly values his anonymity, preferring to live a private life rather than personal fame and notoriety. Unlike some other urban artists, he has a strong belief in the originality and uniqueness of paintings over printing, allowing each of his collectors to own a one-of-a kind work of art. As he continues to create and show his work for the world to see and judge, the jury is already back with the unanimous verdict. His work, his style, his fresh approach to the old school of back alley graffiti and new highbrow street art has made it to the realm of fine art, and so far, his collectors cannot get enough. The color and power of the symbols he has brought to life will continue to spread his vision and artistic genius. An intellectual talent blended with the rare passion and ability to convey a gritty message that covers the world all the way from anarchy to zillionaires – it’s all painted by AtZ.
