Mark Kostabi, artist and composer, born in California, in divided his time between New York and Rome.
Kostabi was born in 1960 and arrived in New York in 1982, is the son of the new conception of art introduced by Andy Warhol, the art of democracy for all. From the viewpoint stylistic Kostabi Warhol and have little in common even though both are related to the figurative artists. If Warhol used to support photographic printing technology, the replicas of an image in the same work, Kostabi loves tradition. Often adopts the Renaissance perspective, does not use mechanical aids and practice a painting inspired by the great examples of the past: the chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, the gradient of Perugino, the surrealism of Magritte, De Chirico's melancholy, bringing them in his works still so different from sources of inspiration. Where iconic Warhol, Kostabi is narrative and its constantly changing shapes and compositions used in always the same type of figure: white with a dummy from silhouettes thick volume. Asexual, faceless, hairless, may suggest the dummy De Chirico or, from a certain perspective, and properly reviewed, the puppets of Keith Haring. Kostabi is also the author of the beautiful bronze dedicated to Pope John Paul II.
