RASTER
Raster is an American, multidisciplinary artist, with a
deep focus on contemporary pop art sculptures and
paintings. He manifests a rich palette of mixed nostalgia
that cuts across identities and generations.
His art has been influenced at a young age by his
enjoyment of pop culture, skateboarding, online gaming
and street art.
Raster’s break-thru original character “Scrappy” has received attention
from brands in the fashion, music and gaming industries, since early on in
its creation. Scrappy stems from Raster’s upbringing and the sculpture’s
stance is based on a uniquely jarring street art moment from Raster’s teen
years.
Raster’s artworks have his signature “zig-zag” pupils in the eyes. It’s
derived from the number “3”. The number 3 can mean life in some cultures,
and Raster feels as if he’s giving life to each of his new creations.
Raster has participated in art shows and group gallery events in France,
America, England, Canada, Mexico, Thailand and Hong Kong.
His works have been shown alongside prominent artists including Banksy, Takashi
Murakami, Invader, David Yarrow, Russell Young, Hiro Ando, Philippe Pasqua, Mr.
Brainwash and Pablo Picasso.
