Description

“Bowery electric” de la expo Stay Gold. A comienzos de los 70 los New York Dolls recogieron la antorcha protopunk de los Stooges y MC5, y avivaron una escena, tanto musical como cultural, con el barrio del Lower Eat Side y el ya mítico CBGB como epicentro de un terremoto que sacudió la música a nivel mundial. El CBGB dio cobijo a bandas como Ramones, Television, Dictators, Blondie, Patty Smith, Dead Boys… además de toda una fauna que englobaba desde lo más “arty” como Andy Warhol a lo más lumpen de un New York decadente.

ÁLVARO P-FF (Madrid, Spain, 1973)

After studying communications, he began his career working for Disney and at several different design and advertising agencies until he and his brother, photographer Juan Pérez-Fajardo, decided to open their own design studio, The Fly Factory.

His illustrations and designs, always related to music, have led to collaborations with international artists like Elton John, Guns n’ Roses, Elvis Costello, The Who, Ozzy Osborne, Green Day, Korn, Dropkick Murphys, Motorhead, Take That, Black Sabbath, The Lumineers,… and national ones like Bunbury, Arde Bogotá, Sabina, Calamaro, Luz Casal, Coque Malla o M-Clan among many others.

With a unique blend of 1980s street culture, 1990s American poster art and nods to the language of modernism and Art Deco, Álvaro Pérez-Fajardo has forged a powerful and unmistakeably distinctive style with a ubiquitous presence at virtually every major music event in Spain today.

In 2014 he began to produce his own artwork, with great commercial success, continuing to draw on his trademark methods and influences but revelling in the total freedom of doing and creating whatever he wants.
