About the artist:
(b. Valencia , ES 1979) Vinz is a Spanish artist who uses a multi-step process to create his unique imagery and to expose ideas that are grounded in our social, political and global environment.
In 2011, Vinz began a series of work—the Feel Free project. A large scale ongoing street art project, Vinz wheatpastes his enlarged engaging and confronting imagery to the walls of his native Valencia and other European cities.
His methodic process begins by first photographing nude models, either isolated or orchestrated in small groups. He then paints animal heads onto large-scale prints of the human figures, creating hybrid subjects with a system of symbols attached to various species. Taking a more delicate approach to his studio work, Vinz collages paper ephemera into a background texture, as a base to print the figures onto, before painting details in enamel or gouache. Birds signify freedom, fish represent consumerism, and frogs convey authority and lizards represent oppression.
