Moey Blanco
Moey Blanco currently resides and works as a full-time artist in Calgary, Alberta. He associates himself with a postmodern art movement called superflat; a term coined by Takashi Murakami used to describe a movement that blends a two-dimensional (flat) graphic design with the more contemplative interests of fine art. Today, Blanco continues to gain a reputation for the mischievous characters he loves to portray in a deeply introspective manner. Drawing inspiration from his childhood, he incorporates fine art techniques with street art elements to create images filled with religious and philosophical considerations.
Notably, he has partnered with Bird Creatives and Calgary Arts Development and has exhibited internationally at galleries such as Secret Fresh Gallery in Manila and Shug Gallery in Norwich. Blanco has participated in projects such as BUMP roadworks and The Rise Up Downtown Vibrancy Program. His work has been featured in Issay Magazine and has collaborated with brands such as Tokyo Smoke and The Livery Shop.
