PASTA

*1979

PASTA is trailblazer of the Czech street art scene, acting as the publisher and editor-in-chief of the only Czech street art/graffiti magazine, Clique. He also took part in putting together the first Czech book mapping out the evolution of graffiti in the Czech Republic – In Graffiti We Trust 
He adorns the streets with screen prints, stickers, a flood of posters with striking texts, and subvertising.

As is however already typical for his generation, he does not limit himself only to intervening in the urban space and its furnishings, and has also moved into galleries and classical artistic disciplines with complete ease. He has a clean graphic style with roots in American pop-art and advertising of the 1960s, and his work makes reference to Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, or Claes Oldenburg. An integral part of his work is frequent depiction of a tube of paste in various “life” situations.

Recently he has been entertaining himself and club-goers as a DJ, and for a short time he and Point had a radio show about the Czech graffiti scene. He occasionally designs clothing and products.
