“Cold and neon coolness personified
Rattle your kinks and think
Under a fedora and behind dark aviators
Whose art is as vibrant as black is his attire
Wings made of strokes of sapphire.”
Sounds like a person of mystery, right? And no doubt, he is. Words have been traveling through the Hollywood industry, that he re-painted the city that never sleeps, and gave it another life. Maybe not literally, but definitely through his art. He has been known for his immortalization of the pop glamour and heightened the bar of aestheticism. He is no other than, Marko Stout, hailing straight from New York City.
Marko Stout’s art, as his blog says, “The urban landscapes and the people who find rapture in the abstraction of monotony are deftly depicted in the images which violently flips narratives of the human condition. ” The American contemporary artist is famously known for his industrial pop style, dominantly focusing on New York City and modern urban life. Apart from creating his own magic, he produces work in a variety of media including print, painting, sculpture, film, video, photography, and new media.
Totally shaking up the art culture, he has won several hearts of Holly buzz like Kardashians, Debra Messing, Billie Eilish, etc, who are seen visiting his art exhibitions to check his latest works, a definite balm for the souls. His arts are being purchased and the numbers are increasing like wildlife fires. So now if you are not familiar with his work, it’s high time you should.
Stout describes his work as “a snapshot of those rare epiphanous vibrant moments when our realities can bleed color and juxtaposition. It stretches beyond encapsulation of aesthetic and extends to an offering of meaning and an extension of culture.”.
Forbes Magazine describes him as “Supremacy as a Multimedia Artist!” whereas Splash Magazine praises him saying “Modern Day Andy Warhol“.
It is said that even if the artist is not alive, but he/she stays alive through his art through ages until human beings have the ability to understand art. Stout, undoubtedly, has proved the point. After ages when he won’t be anymore among us, he will be remembered through his work and the new perspective given to New York City. He indeed has stamped a mark on the pages of the history of fine arts. His piece “Erotic Allure” is one of his many paintings that carry out an approach to a design crafted as much in Vogue as in art circles.
Stout’s solo exhibitions have been held all over the world, such as in New York, Los Angeles, London, Miami, Brussels, Berlin, New Jersey, and Paris. He has been on several headlines and covers such as that of Entrepreneur Magazine, Huffington Post, City Limits, Chicago Tribune, LA Journal, Music Snake Magazine, Times Square Chronicles, along with Forbes Magazine and Splash Magazine.
