About the Artist:
Basco Vazko was born in Santiago, Chile in 1983. Strongly influenced by major South American street artists such as São Paulo-based Os Gêmeos and Vitché, Vazko has been painting in the streets of Santiago since age 14. Vazko has become a part of the vibrant and highly influential São Paulo street art scene, where he occupies a unique space as the only non-Brazilian artist in the group. From 2005 to 2008, Vazko lived in the U.S. and exhibited work in various spaces throughout California, including a group exhibition with Vitché and others in 2005 at Scion Space in Culver City and a solo exhibition in 2006 at Fifty24SF in San Francisco.
In 2009, Vazko participated in Born in the Streets—Graffiti at the Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain in Paris. An artist who is comfortable both in the studio and in the street, Vazko paints in public spaces every week and plans to continue doing so, because as Vazko says, art in the street is ‘pure’ and ‘uncensored.’
