Jo di Bona
1 artwork(s)An emblematic figure of the Parisian Street Art scene, Jo Di Bona owes his dazzling success to his unique technique that he invented himself: Pop Graffiti, where he combines collages, various influences of graffiti and the pop culture from which he is deeply inspired. Fauvist of modern times, Jo mixes colors and movements to create faces imbued with poetry, emotions and joie de vivre. In his works, Jo pays homage with the same tenderness to the icons and great characters of history as to passing strangers, nourished by the generous look he has on the human being because «the most important thing in his eyes, 'is sharing'»(Artist'up)
Crowned with the prestigious 1st Prize for graffiti from the EDF Foundation in 2014, Jo has since chained international exhibitions, performances and murals. We note in particular his immense work presented at the Museum of Immigration in Paris, his large walls made in Paris, at the Loures Arte Publica in Lisbon or for the Consulate of France in the heart of Atlanta, his presence alongside his gallery owners Virginie Barrou Planquart and Joël Knafo at international fairs in NY, Miami, London, Hong Kong, Lausanne or Munich...and his monumental works at the Street Art for Mankind exhibitions in New York and Miami in 2017.
Acclaimed by the media, Jo has, among others, been presented on the JT of France 2, M6 or in the Télématin program, has been on the cover of the magazines «Arts Magazine», «Street Art Magazine», «Paris Tonkar», was cited by the reference site Artsper among «the 10 artists to follow in 2016» or in the top 5 of Konbini's favorite Street Artists in 2018, and made the front page of the prestigious New York Times for his tribute wall created at the Petit Cambodia. Jo is also one of the first Street Artists in the world to have entered the United Nations headquarters in New York in January 2017.
