Bio
MOMO is known for tagging his name the width of Manhattan, creating over sized collage, faking a New Yorker magazine cover, and building a totem pole in the East River, a computer script which makes his art for him, a mural project with Melissa Brown that destroys their art for them. Tide powered sculpture with Eltono, and prints, paintings, and videos that rely on chance for fun and substance. In 2009 Rojo Published his first monograph “3am-6am”, and Y-3 created MOMO shoes.
MOMO grew up in San Francisco and traveled extensively, before settling in New York. He joined a graffiti crew in 1999 while living in Spain, found his use of color while employed in the Caribbean, and fell for outside art while living outside; in a cave for a year, in a truck for a year, in a tent for a year. He now lives in Brooklyn.
