Joe Iurato

Joe Iurato is a multidisciplinary artist whose works are built on a foundation of stencils and aerosol. Falling somewhere in between simplistic and photorealistic, his multi-layer stencils offer a distinctly clean and illustrative aesthetic. While Joe's murals have adorned neighborhoods along the east coast United States for years, he’s also become noted for the unique placement and photography of miniature painted wood cutouts in public spaces. 

In recent years, Joe has developed creative and display techniques in different directions. Through Joe miniature site-specific action figures and utilize the outdoor environment to create site-specific installations, the artist creates windows into a narrative formed by personal experiences and  ​tells stories about the path from childhood to adulthood. All those small events, feelings and uncertainties can relates to the things which we face along the way. Each individual work of art highlights the potential for interaction and storytelling within public space and transforms common landscapes into carefully crafted scenes. Before leaving each installation behind, he documents it with a photograph. The photographs offer specific and intentional viewpoints of the artwork in relation to its surroundings, manipulating our perception of scale and dimensionality.

Due to many years of creative experience and his unique presentation and narrative ability, Joe is not only popular in European and American countries and is widely loved by everyone, but attract the cooperation of many brands from different industries which include: The NFL, Kenneth Cole, GQ, Red Bull, Adidas, Mike Tyson’s Iron Mike Productions, The New York Racing Association, Nike’s House of Hoops, ESPN, the NBA, NBC’s Sunday Night Football, Sprite, USA Network, Nusret Steakhouses, Nickelodeon, and Paramount Pictures. Besides, the richness and artistry of Joe's works also become some of the museum collection.
