IABO is an artist capable of transforming urban imagery into a new grammar.
Growing up among the walls of Naples, with the speed of graffiti in his hands and the sharp gaze of someone who observes the city from below, he has constructed a language that lies halfway between street art and pop, between instinctive gesture and graphic lucidity.

His clear, iconic, immediate figures seem to emerge from a visual short circuit: advertisements, road signs, fragments of pop culture are overturned, bent, rendered ironic to the point of irreverence.

In each work, there is the idea that the everyday can become a symbol, that the city itself is an archive to be reinterpreted.
His practice stems from the urgency of graffiti but grows within the discipline of painting; a dual approach that allows him to move naturally between the street, the gallery, and the institution, without losing that raw and authentic vibe from which it all began.

IABO does not simply recount the contemporary: he mocks it, exposes it, reinvents it.
And in doing so, he reminds us that art, when it sinks into reality, can still surprise us.
