Consistently raising the bar on discovering pop culture's new conspiracies and contradictions, BASK takes a bite out of the corporate apple with provocative mixed media pieces. Pulled from tree lawns and alleyways, discarded panels and walls are given new life by way of this Czech-born, American vandal's barrage of "anti-iconic" characters and themes. Unpredictable and sometimes grim, BASK connects in his work early communist propaganda seen as a child to the commanding advertisements seen in early adulthood. This comparison of powers is portrayed in his gritty and conspicuous street and gallery art.
Political in motivation, original as sin, BASK vies for your attention by deconstructing pop culture and exposing the real messages in mass media.
