This artwork “NO WAR UK #008” is dedicated in honor of Ivan PETUNIN, a 27 year old young man who was found dead in Krasnodar. The Russian rapper threw himself from his apartment after recording a last video in which he explains his gesture and denounces the partial mobilization in Ukraine decreed by Vladimir Putin.
"I'm not ready to kill for any reason, when you see this video I won't be alive." Russian rapper Ivan Petunin, stage name Walkie, committed suicide in Krasnodar, Russia. The 27-year-old man refused the partial mobilization decreed by Vladimir Putin, and did not want to go and fight in Ukraine. “We have become hostages of a madman who only gives us the choice of the army or prison,” he confided in a video recorded shortly before his death.
Cradled by the counter-culture of the 90s, vanessa FODERA, born in 1981, cut her teeth in the streets as a field of expression in France.
The world of graffiti, still considered underground, fascinates him. She undertakes a quest for this free art and pushes her to survey the walls of European capitals.
Meetings with his artists and certain street collectives will be a major turning point in his determination, to plunge headlong into a universe carried by the codes and uses of street culture.
Inspired by fashion, his brutality and evocative softness are strong elements for appropriating the different facets of his art. In the works she presents, she dares to put a touch of originality reflecting her personality.
She knows how to move towards POP Art, a technique she appreciates, because there is this synergy between advertising, design and everyday objects.
Artist inspired by logos, his imagination combines the codes of Street Art and Pop Art to lead us into his universe of the diversion of everyday objects into works of design art.
Vanessa Fodera is an artist in her own right, her works resolutely transcribe the movement and punctuate universal messages of society with the energy of her art and her talent. 67154769
