Mark Kostabi American Painter and Musician
Born: November 27, 1960 - Los Angeles, California Summary of Mark Kostabi Due largely to an unnerving talent for self-publicity and provocation, Kostabi - a self-professed "con-artist" - has emerged as one of the most intriguing (and divisive) figures within the contemporary art world. Rising from New York City's legendary 1980s East Village scene, he was a contemporary of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. His art is instantly recognizable for its faceless figures who populate surrealistic worlds rendered in a garishly colored graphic style. Thematically, his images broach broad topics including love, modern anxieties, technology, and corporate culture. In the vein of Warhol's Factory, he founded Kostabi World, an unabashed "production line" that employs numerous painting assistants and "ideas people" to produce artworks in his name. Kostabi has also gained notoriety for his eagerness to embrace and manipulate the popular media.
