Graffiti vandal turned fine artist, Felipe Pantone picked up his first spray can and started bombing local walls at the age of 12. Since then he has spent over a decade developing his style, experimenting with various letterforms including calligraphy, wild style, 3D, characters and even dabbling in photorealism with spray paint. Pantone garnered an international reputation in the graffiti world under the name of PANT 1. Alternating conventional graffiti, typography and abstraction, his progressive practice merges elements of graphic design with geometric shapes to create a futuristic aesthetic. Onlookers of his works are immediately pulled into his complex compositions that feature gradient color blocks, concentric lines and computer glitches. His creations are found all over on walls and major institutes across the globe, including Mesa Contemporary Arts Center in Arizona, the Long Beach Museum of Art in California and Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
