"SIXEART" (Badalona, Barcelona, 1975). "Studies of an unemployed dog", 2010. Mixed media on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 100 x 73 cm; 104 x 77 cm (frame). Sixeart or Sixe Art, Sergio Hidalgo Paredes, is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist. He began his artistic career in the eighties, painting graffiti in the streets of Barcelona. A decade later, in the mid-nineties, he began to experiment with sculpture and painting, until in 1998 he saw the need to open his own studio, which has allowed him to define himself as a visual artist. Sixeart expresses with his work a universe of his own through various disciplines; from his beginnings, his artistic language has evolved to become what it is today: an abstract universe of color endowed with forms and symbologies, which breathes simplicity and complexity at the same time. His pictorial work is a balanced mixture of figurative and abstract, extremely rich in sensitivity. Sixeart starts from his experiences in the urban landscape as the main creative stimulus; his days in his city, Barcelona, the melancholy of the city, his concerns about evolution and its consequences, genetic manipulation, a romanticism for the world that is left behind, the images that are lost in time... all this configures his personal plastic universe. This artist belongs to El Equipo Plástico, together with Nuria Mora, Nano4814 and Eltono, and since 2000 he has held exhibitions in Spain, Germany, France, Italy, the United States, Belgium, Denmark, England, Brazil, Peru and Mexico. His latest exhibitions include "New World - Intercontinental Transmutation" (A.L.I.C.E. Gallery, Brussels, 2010), "From Chillida to Sixeart" (Mayoral Gallery, Barcelona, 2009), "Warriors" (N2 Gallery, Barcelona, 2009). Also, in 2008 he exhibited with Blu, Faile, JR, Nunca and Os Gémeos at the Tate Modern in London, in the exhibition "Street Art".

Shepard FAIREY (1970) OBEY - Shepard Fairey - Propaganda. Screen-printed skateboard. 79 x 20.5 cm. Signed by hand. Note: Shepard Fairey, known as Obey, was born in 1970 in Charleston in the United States. He plunged into the world of graphic design at the age of 14, drawing images that would later be flocked onto t-shirts and skateboards. Influenced by the work of Andy Warhol and the Russian artist Alexander Rodchenko, he naturally went on to study art. At the end of the 1980s, Obey and a group of friends from the Rhode Island School of Design created a series of stickers and posters based on the wrestler André the Giant, which they secretly pasted onto the walls of American cities in their thousands. It was one of the first and most important ‘viral’ Street Art campaigns, demonstrating the striking power of this new form of clandestine expression. His work received international recognition during the 2008 US presidential campaign, with the creation of Barack Obama's HOPE poster, which became an iconic image of the campaign. The President personally thanked him for the influence his poster had during the presidential elections. The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston considers him one of the best and most influential street artists of the moment. Despite this, although he is one of the pioneers of street art, his work is sometimes considered by the law to infringe artistic property. During some of his run-ins with the law, this did not prevent his exhibitions in various museums from doubling in attendance. Today, Shepard Fairey continues to use art as an artistic medium to engage with current social and political issues. In 2022, in collaboration with the Department of Art and Culture, he completed a 100-metre mural encouraging the use of renewable, less polluting energies in Munich.
