Felipe Pantone (Buenos Aires, 1986) studied Arts in the UK, nevertheless his interest has always been centered on public art. His work is focused on the dynamics of the virtual space, using the Internet as the main theme. In his paintings, sculptures, audiovisual pieces and murals, he juxtaposes and even hybridizes artistic, scientific and electronic languages. He takes up elements from Op Art, Kinetic Art, and formalism, mixed with elements of the popular culture and morphs them into a hypermodern state. His aesthetics tend towards a formal synthesis leaving only allusions to the techno-urban stream like computational geometry and solid colors. Pantone directs our attention to the digital era and the increasing velocity in which technology is developed.
In 2016, he was invited to a Residency Program with Carlos Cruz-Diez, one of the most representative figures of Op and Kinetic Art. That same year, he was invited by Palais of Tokyo to create a hypnotic intervention inside the Duplex A86 tunnel, covering a 400-square-feet area. His works have been exhibited in important galleries in Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America.
He lives and works in Valencia, Spain.
