Franco Fasoli, born in Buenos Aires in 1981 and who also goes by the name “Jaz”, currently resides in Barcelona. A scenographer and muralist, Fasoli’s art is influenced both by his studies in ceramics throughout his career and by his work on the street as a canvas in the late 90s. It is at the end of the last decade when Franco leaves traditional graffiti behind to introduce in his subject matter the lived contradictions of Latin American societies, their rituals and their seemingly perennial instability. Thus, one of the main characteristics of his work is the exploration of material level and scale. From large format paintings in public space to small works in bronze or paper, it can be observed that the oscillation of contexts and resources are the nutrients that feed his work. The tension between the dominant global culture and sub-cultures as a space of resistance has also been a subject of study at a conceptual level and in his own actions throughout his career. The multiple forms of individual and collective identity are the backbone of this sociological influence of the artist. 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 again.
