Brazil-based Argentinian artist Tec Fase uses the street as his aesthetic inspiration. He explores the ambiguity of both private and public art spaces, using a variety of methods: performative intervention, site-specific installation and action footage. The artist has innovated and expanded the urban art scene with his giant drawings painted right over the asphalt, making use of distance and perspective. To document these projects as a way of mapping the circuit of his production, he films and captures the images with a camera attached to a drone. On screen, he brings together the speed of action painting and the formal rigour of the layers that superimpose. His signature lines and the way he works with colour march to the beat of a different drum when compared to established knowledge and the way things are, using the creative act to put in place a new interpretation of what is real. His artwork reverberate and reassert his relationship with the city, which is expressed in an intense dialogue between action and control. Overarching Tec's work is a remarkable manifestation of how he identifies with children’s poetic universe, be it in his choice of graphics, in the images or in the colours.
Internationally recognised with the exhibition «De Dentro e De Fora» (Inside and Outside), which happened at MASP (Museu de Arte de São Paulo), Tec has had exhibitions in art institutions such as New York City, Washington, Barcelona, Berlin and Cologne, and has participated in art fairs including ArteBa (Argentina), SP-Arte (Brazil), ArtRio (Brazil) and Scope Miami Beach (USA). In 2015, the artist made one of São Paulo’s largest murals on a building located on Amaral Gurgel street, facing Minhocão, the city’s most iconic elevated highway and a highly-coveted graffiti spot.
