acrylic on canvas, 170 x 120 cm, 120x170, signed and dated on the back, Saddo, 2015

Romanian artist, illustrator and muralist, Saddo studied Graphics in Cluj, where he started his artistic career as a street artist together with The Playground group. His street art activity brought a fresh and fun vibe to his way of perceiving art and the world, and opened doors to many different projects such as commissions for advertising agencies and collaborations with galleries in Bucharest, Vienna, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Glasgow, Salvador, etc. Going through many different phases, from horror movie posters to street art and comics, Saddo's style has recently developed into something more elaborate. It was influenced by Old Masters of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries such as Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Bosch and Brueghel as well as artists like Walter Ford, currents such as naturalistic illustration and pop surrealism, and themes like religion and mythology. His latest projects include his first solo-show, “Rise of The Bird People” at Objectos Misturados Gallery in Portugal, and the “Coffins” duo-show with Aitch at La Petite Mort Gallery, Ottawa, in 2014. He recently had his second solo-show, “A Stranger in the Garden”, at BC Gallery in Berlin.
