Joe Iurato is a New Jersey based multidisciplinary artist whose works are built on a foundation of stencils and aerosol paint. An internationally recognized street artist, gallery, and commercial artist, Iurato is known for having a distinctly clean and illustrative style. At the heart of his work are the stories, each shaped by personal experiences, influences and observations. His recollection of childhood, in all of its innocence, imaginative play, mischief and curiosity, is a recurring theme in Joe’s works – often told through depictions of his own kids, neighborhood friends and families he meets along the way. His mastery of scale and perspective—best exemplified in his signature wooden cutouts—creates a powerful dialogue between the artwork and its environment, manipulating space and challenging perceptions. For nearly 20 years, Iurato has been dedicated to stencil art and exploring its possibilities. Outside, he works on varying scales, from mural to miniature, often creating site-specific installations that allow the surrounding environment to play a key role in the completion of the works’ narratives. His signature wooden cutouts highlight the unlimited potential for storytelling within the overlooked details of public space. In the studio, he uses a wide range of media, including found objects and reclaimed wood, to experiment, tinker, build and evolve. His works resonate across the globe, exhibited in cities such as London, New York, Miami, Taipei, and Berlin. Iurato’s collaborations with brands like GQ, Adidas, IPIC Theaters, and The NFL, along with his impressive murals across the United States and Europe further highlight his impact on contemporary art.
