Influential
Argentinean art collective/design bureau Doma
has come a long way since its humble beginnings
on the Buenos Airies Street Art scene 8 years
ago. The group began using urban installations;
stencil graffiti and street projections employing
an irreverent comic book style to create subversive
imagery that offers an alternative commentary
on mainstream culture, specifically exploring
issues of global consumerism and politics. |
|
The
characters and the alternate universes they created
soon took on more tangible forms as the group's
respective skills in animation, motion graphics
and film allowed them to project there creations
deeper into the popular consciousness via animated
shorts, art installations and a range of toys
that has gained them a global following.
One
of Europe's most interesting art spaces, Barcelona's
Maxalot gallery this month plays host to the Doma
collective, serving as a canvas for their graphic
universe. The exhibition will feature a character-parade
of life-sized and miniature plush dolls, new and
exclusive 2D prints and graffiti, and projected
motion graphics. |
|
For
European fans, this exhibition is a must. Providing
a retrospective of work to date, they will also
be showcasing never before seen pieces which should
prove a draw for even the most well versed Doma
afficionado.
