FROM BEYOND THE STREETS
Felipe Pantone’s new monograph, Praesentia, meaning ‘present time’ in Latin,
highlights the last ten years of his studio work and global installations. Showcasing over 250 illustrations, photos and essays by friends and contemporaries, plus personal
anecdotes, it is Pantone’s most comprehensive collection of work to date.
Felipe Pantone is an Argentinian-Spanish artist. He started doing graffiti at the age of
12, eventually graduating with a Fine Art degree in Valencia, Spain, where his studio is
currently based. Pantone evokes a spirit in his work that feels like a collision between
an analog past and a digitized future, where human beings and machines will inevitably
glitch alongside one another in a prism of neon gradients, geometric shapes, optical
patterns, and jagged grids. His work deals with dynamism, transformation, digital
revolution, and themes related to the present time. Pantone works on various forms of
software, which is then translated into frescoes, murals, paintings, and sculptures,
giving tactile merit to what’s occurring in the digital world. His applications are diverse
and united by the intersection of technology and fine art.
