Marco Rea was born in Rome, where he is now living and working. Currently he is one of the most representative artist of Italian lowbrow\pop surrealism.
His art pieces are made with spray cans and they are the result of the reinterpretation of already existing images; billboards are careful altered until they only just resemble their original form, showing like that of a secret soul, dark and melancholic.
Marco Rea’s art express an emotional personality, in constant excitement, always aiming to seek its perfection. Faces are losing the shape of reality and they materialize into the void.
His artistic production travels on parallel lines, the world of Pop Surrealism and Urban Art, and introduces a new original and unmistakable style. It’s a unique piece in the contemporary Italian art.
Marco is featured in cult magazines such as Juxtapoz (USA), Hi-Fructose (USA), Velvet Italia, GQ Italia, and so on. His work has been exhibited in many European and American galleries together with the most important artists of the Street and Pop Surrealist art (Ray Caesar, Chet Zar, Mark Ryden, Obey, C215, Castillo, Vhils, Cope2, Sten&Lex, Miss Van etc…).
