Expansive Black and White Patterns Mixed With Chrome Color Spectrums in Murals by Felipe Pantone

May 8, 2017

Kate Sierzputowski

Argentinian-Spanish artist Felipe Pantone creates public murals that integrate black and white patterns with bright sweeping color spectrums. His tag “Pantone” is an evolution of his original name “Pant” chosen when he was just thirteen, a complete coincidence despite his color-rich works. His mash-up of grids and glitch-like 3D forms imbue the pieces with throw-back digital futurism, an aesthetic that feels extremely grounded in 80s graphic design.

Pantone travels all over the world painting his bold murals, visiting Seoul, Madrid, Taipei, and Ibiza within the last year. One of his most recent, Chromadynamica, was created for LisbonWeek and can be seen below. You can view more of his graphically-oriented public works on his Instagram. (thnx, Laura!)
