His works often reflect the influence of Art Deco and the Memphis design movement. Vibrant, contrasting colours dominate his palette, with bright blues, yellows, pinks, and blacks creating a lively and engaging visual experience. Marest's work exudes a sense of modernity while drawing on mid-20th-century aesthetics, blending contemporary techniques with a nod to architectural and cultural nostalgia. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI thought Antonyo’s vivid colours would be the perfect match to brighten up this brutalist dam - the 225 metre Diga di Luzzone in Ticino, Switzerland.

By challenging these conventions, I explore the tensions between artistic expression and the restrictions imposed by social norms and governments. I have photographed landscapes that would be amazing for a street artist to paint, but are impossible to paint for real, because they're too big or inaccessible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eI have chosen some of my favourite street artists and given them large photographic prints, which they have painted to create original, hand-made artworks with no digital manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eI then re-shoot each artwork on an easel in its original location, creating captivating windows into a parallel universe where street artists have been given free rein. \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Authorised Supplier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48948913602811,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/8551\/files\/IMG_2681.jpg?v=1780663741","url":"https:\/\/www.prescriptionart.com\/products\/joseph-ford-x-antonyo-marest-impossible-street-art","provider":"Prescription Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
