BIGFOOT - FOOT IN THE CITY
“Stackhouse Gallery is proud to present a first time in New York solo installation exhibition by San Francisco based artist BIGFOOT.
In 1994 the urban landscape, started to change with sightings of BIGFOOT. The legend that embodies all that is wild, and unknowable within ourselves,and the world. Thus became the unmistakable tag of “BIGFOOT ONE.” Transforming the task of tagging into ritual, creating montages to honor nature’s most unknown creature, BIGFOOT ONE has created a symbol the skating world has adopted for inspiration and reflection.
Originally from New Jersey, BIGFOOT fled to California to be closer to big trees, and to attend the San Francisco Art Institute. Disassociated with collegiate rigmarole, and human society, “BIGFOOT” began writing in the streets of San Francisco with relentless fury. He then teamed up with Matt Field to create the logo for I-Path footwear, and serves as creative director. Currently BIGFOOT is in the midst of his new personal line of T-shirts, clothing and accessories, called “BF1,” debuting 2003 in Japan and America. BIGFOOT works BIG, constructing wooden panels and uses house paint to make bold visual reminders of the power of nature. His symbolism primarily manifesting itself in the Wild West character, addresses the conflict between the respects for nature held by America’s indigenous peoples and the destructive agenda of the western conquest.
