Spray Painting Art


History Of Spray paint Art


Sadot was a poet, made mosaics, and also used other traditional media, but became most known for his artwork made with aerosol spray-paint. 


 Sadot first painted in front of his studio, but later moved to La Zona Rosa sitting on the sidewalk surrounded by aerosol cans . Painting faces and landscapes, his out-of-box style of art began drawing in crowds of people watching him create beautiful pieces of art using rugged , ordininary hosehold tools and items.

Sadot would share his political , cultural ideas and opinions with the crowd while painting.

        Artist like Sadot Fernandez were the offspring of  the Avant-Garde art movement that flourished in Mexico’s capital after the social and political repression of the 60's and 70's.
 Other artists began to start using spray-paint being influenced by American and European art forms such as; graffiti, pop art, jazz fusion and poetry.

Spray-paint art is only around 30 years old, and is still considered an "unconventional" rather than "traditional" form of art, but is rapidly growing throughout the hearts of the Americas' inner cities, and into the soul of the Art World.
