Jacopo Ceccarelli “2501” (Milán, Italy, 1981) began painting graffiti at 14 years old. Later, he studied Bachelor in Film Editing and a Master on Visual Communication. At the age of 20, he moved to São Paulo, Brazil, where he joined a project teaching children of the favelas to paint. There he got in contact with the South American graffiti school, represented by Os Gemeos, Herbert Baglione, Higraff, and Zezao, among many others. That experience changed his approach to painting. In 2005 he decided to focus exclusively on his career as an artist.First known as “Robot Inc” and later as “2501”, he has developed a new style which combines urban art, canvas, sculpture, installation, photography, video, and documentary. He uses wavy, black and white lines to create forms that go from figurative to abstract. His works, full of movement and energy, capture our imagination and give us the possibility of an introspective break from the visual monotony of the urban life. The interdisciplinary character of his research truly mirrors his approach to life and knowledge.He currently lives and works in Europe, USA, and South America.
