GG

Experimenting with art, fashion, and design, the street artist GG (Gabriel Gimenez) creates sardonic images that humorously chronicle the art world. GG’s recurring character “Fado” is meant to be indicative of regular, workaday people, though his one large and one small eye symbolize his simultaneous curiosity and confusion about the world. Fado is found in many guises, including portrayals of recognizable art stars, characters, and celebrities. GG identifies as a Pop artist, liberally blurring the distinctions between popular culture, graphic design, graffiti, and fine arts, taking inspiration from artists such as Shepard Fairey, Keith Haring, and Jeff Koons.
