Spanish artist SpY’s contextual art projects are among the most original and talked-about contributions to the evolution of urban art into public art. Over the course of his career, SpY’s practice has developed into an increasingly spectacular body of large-scale installations and interventions, produced in cities all over the world, that are increasingly ambitious, impactful, and with an unparalleled ability to bring to life unique, seductive and formally sound artistic experiences.
One of the main threads running through SpY’s discourse is the creation of strong conceptual contrasts between the aesthetics of his works of art and the difficult connotations of the objects with which they are constructed – often elements used to condition people’s behavior.
