Mr.Popcorn
Italian artist Mr. Popcorn has captivated audiences around the world with his enigmatic and thought-provoking works. Despite exhibiting in prestigious galleries from San Francisco to Venice—and even hosting a solo show at the renowned Avantgarden Gallery in Milan—he remains shrouded in anonymity.
His journey as an artist is deeply rooted in his past as a street tagger and his philosophical stance on the dissolution of the self and the fleeting nature of material possessions. His art, featured in publications such as Unmashed, Stickers!, and Theez Are Out Streetz, offers an ironic reflection of the world we live in—a sentiment echoed in his street posters and public interventions.
Mr. Popcorn’s most recent solo exhibition, Symbols, was held at the Galactic Panther Gallery in the United States in 2024.
Choosing to stay out of the spotlight has only amplified the allure of his work. Based in Paris, he has exhibited across Italy, Spain, the United States, Romania, Portugal, Denmark, Japan, and the UK. From ZK Gallery in San Francisco and Bugno Gallery in Venice to Oditto Gallery in West Palm Beach, his pieces have left an indelible mark on the global art scene.
As his paintings continue to challenge and inspire, the mystery surrounding Mr. Popcorn only deepens—leaving both collectors and critics intrigued by the magnetic pull of his elusive vision.
