Description

“Death or glory”, The Clash vuelve a servir para dar nombre a otra obra de la expo. La fina línea que hay entre el triunfo y el fracaso, entre sacar un truco y darse la megahostia. Este verano lo comprobé, el 11 de agosto estaba exultante, eufórico por haber sacado un truco que me creía imposible realizar, y 24 horas más tarde me encontraba en una camilla con tibia y peroné rotos. La fina línea que me tiene desde hace tres meses sin subirme a la tabla… Mítica tabla Vision de Marc Gonzales diseñada por Andy Takakjian

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.
