MEDEL GALLERY SHUでは、4月11日より4月24日までSen2 Sandro Figueroaの個展”“THE BEGINNING”を開催します。
帝国ホテルプラザから神宮前に移転後最初の企画展です。
Sen2として親しまれているSandroはプエルトリコ出身のアーティストで、現在はN Yブロンクスに在住し、3月初めにコネティカットに自らの名を冠したアートギャラリーをオープンさせたところです。アート界はもちろんのこと、スポーツ・音楽・サブカルチャーの世界で幅広い交友があります。
展示タイトルはSen2の創作コンセプト”THE BEGINNING”そのものであり、日本初個展の本展は、主なシリーズをご紹介いたします。
リキテンシュタインやウォホールなどの古典的なニューヨーク・グラフィティ・ポップアートから、グラフィック・レタリング・スタイルと3D要素や抽象芸術のテクニックを組み合わせた作品が特徴で、そこにはすべてグラフィティ要素が含まれており、彼の芸術的ルーツと洗練され常に進化し続けるスタイルを反映しています。
3月にSen2 Sandro Figueroa Gallery をオープンし、サッカー・チャンピオンズ・アメリカ・ツアーのレアル・マドリードのアートワークとデザイン（2023年）、ニューヨーク・メッツのオープニング・デーにフランシスコ・リンドール選手のコレクションを制作（2023年）、音楽ユニットThe Black Eyed Peasとコラボレーション( 2022年）、USオープン50周年記念のテニスコート8面にペイント（2018年）など様々なコラボレーションからも人気がうかがえます。
現在は、ドキュメンタリーフィルムの製作中というSen2は、まだまだ進化が止まりません。
原宿というフアッション・ストリートカルチャー、そしてアートの中心地となりつつあるこの地に相応しい展示になりました。
是非ご高覧願います。
Sen2 Sandro Figueroa
The Beginning is where creativity reaches fruition, where potential is limitless and the path forward is unpaved. Embarking on an artistic journey together, the first installation theme theme “The Beginning” symbolizes imminent growth, commending progress while recognizing the vast possibilities ahead.
Sandro Figueroa Garcia, artistically known as Sen2 Figueroa was born in 1969. He grew up in Canteras, a
neighborhood of Santurce, Puerto Rico.
In the 1980’s his fascination with graffiti, color and letter forms took a hold of Sen2’s dreams. He chased
his dreams to the streets of New York. Here he began to cultivate his love for urban art, creating graffiti
murals and commercial work, but his vision was broader. It was at this point in his life that he met and
joined the most famous graffiti crew ever assembled in the world to date: Tats Cru. With Tats Cru, Sen2
travelled throughout Europe and the rest of the globe.
Sen2 evolved from spray painting wild-style pieces to developing mixed media works on paper and
canvases. He moved from classical New York graffiti art to a combination of graphic lettering styles with
3-D elements and abstract art techniques.
All of Sen2’s pieces have graffiti elements in them to reflect his artistic roots, as well as his sophisticated
and constantly evolving style.
His work creates an entertaining dialogue between color and motion. Sen2 blurs the lines between graffiti
and fine art. His beautiful chaos of modern and contemporary interpretations has created a signature style.
With his most recent work, Mecanico, Sen2 seeks to find a new sense of balance between line and color.
Greatly influenced by the Bauhaus movement and Joseph Albers’s Color Theory, Mecanico focus on the
evolution from Graffiti to a Mechanical style, the sharp use of lines blur with bold use of color and subtle
blends, collide intensely amongst a variation of textures.
In 2018, Sen2 was commissioned to paint eight tennis court to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the US
Open. Most recently, Sen2 collaborated with renowned pop music icons “The Black Eye Peas”, a collaboration
between Sen’s iconic Pop Art signature style and musician Will. I. Am’s writing.
This past year, Sen worked closely with the New York Mets, Corona Beer and Francisco Lindor to create the
Francisco Lindor Collection featured at Opening Day for the New York Mets in New York.
Sen’s distinct style has helped raised the profile of the collection’s branding.
Also, in 2023, Sen worked closely with Adidas to create the artwork and design for Real Madrid’s 2023 Soccer
Champions US Tour. His unique style was the centerpiece of the team’s branding during their time in the US.
