BAST

USA

BIOGRAPHY

Brooklyn born and bred, Bast has been an intricate part of the street art scene for well over 15 years throughout New York and Europe, his wheat-pasted images and tags featuring prominently across the urban landscape. Screen printing is at the heart of most all Bast's work, although it rarely stops there as he collages iconic images and logo's, before adding thick, heavy-handed layers of paint.

BAST is one of the few international street artists to retain a level of anonymity. Using collage to create “mutated characters” and “mutated scenes,” Bast has been embellishing urban environments in New York and Europe with his wheat-pasted posters for nearly two decades.

Bast uses iconic images from 20th- and 21st-century mass culture to create collages that combine cartoon characters, American food stores, and sex advertisements resulting in edgy, uncompromising compositions.
