Artist Review
“Through striking visual imagery, pulpo communicates profound visions and fears, nostalgia of his youth, and themes of future, past, and sex.
His free-style recalls 1970s comicbook illustration, with dark colors and back shapes outlining typically used in character and comic design.
Pulpo’s dark style draws on the work of cartoon artists from earlier generations and the asian classic fine art.
Pulpo's art is constantly growing and changing via strong aesthetics and visual language though his figurative subjects remain constant. Relies heavily on a monotone palette of black, white and orange. At times Pulpo's work has had a strong minimalist and simplistic bent while relying on his elaborate language and definite style somewhere between the Art Nouveau images of Audrey Beardsley and the mystical and weird language of the underground American Commix. He was inspired by artists such us Peter Bagge, Yoshitoshi and Travis Millard.
In his style it is important to see the extremes of human shapes elongated and rounded for the ultimate simplistic, dramatic iconic human symbols. Thus illustrating his interest in human imperfection and extremes."
