Street Artists
After Izolag left the Escola de Bellas Artes in Brazil, because of a lack of understanding for his work by the older generation of teachers, he joined a group of street artists in Brazil. While traveling through Brazil, they created huge works of art in graffiti style. In the most diverse places they managed to surprised their audience with artworks in parks, on public buildings, bridges and ruins.
Traveling as technique
Izolag works with a special method, while traveling he makes photographs that form the foundation for his artworks. He captures special moments and translates this into his artwork. For example playing children, a characteristic older couple or critical social issues. Afterwards he paints the picture with acrylic, which he covers with newspapers, letters and anything else that could give the canvas more body.
After several solo- and group exhibitions in his own country, he was quickly picked up in the Europe. Meanwhile Izolag works with several big gallery’s in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany.
With his virtuosity, speed and great sense of composition, Izolag knows how to appeal the spectator!
