Franco Fasoli, born in Buenos Aires in 1981 and who also goes by the name “Jaz”, currently lives in Barcelona. In addition to his work as a painter, he is also a scenographer and muralist.

Both his ceramic studies throughout his career and his work using the city as a canvas in the late 1990s, influenced Fasoli’s art. Tigers, cats, or even crosses between humans and animals seem to splash his graffiti since his youth on the streets of Buenos Aires. By the end of the last decade, around 2010, he overcame that first stage with unconventional materials and techniques outside the official hegemonic circuit. By then, he left traditional graffiti behind to revert to the field of painting. Thus, one of the main characteristics of his work is the exploration, both at a material and scale level.

The tension between the dominant global culture and sub-cultures as a space of resistance has also been a subject of study on a conceptual level and in his own actions throughout his career. The multiple forms of individual and collective identity are the backbone of the artist’s sociological influence. Represented through conflict, confrontation and discursive juxtaposition, Fasoli does not seek to answer the unknown, but rather to constantly redesign the question, to question the questioning and to question himself.
