Futura: Full Frame is a book by Magda Danysz exploring the life of legendary graffiti artist Futura, aka Lenny Mc Gurr, from the 1980s until today, including backstage images of the artist at work through the decades and his artworks. “I guess I must admire the need to set things on fire”: this quote, lifted from Futura’s collaboration with punk band The Clash, clearly illustrates his approach to his creative career as a whole. The so-called father of abstract graffiti started out in the 1970s “bombing” the trains of his hometown New York. He later transferred this style into paintings on canvas and was praised by the likes of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. With them, FUTURA has been a major influencer of youth culture through his collaborations with iconic brands like NIKE, Levi’s, Vans, Hennessey, Medicom Toys as well as with his own brand Futura Laboratories. For the past 40 years, he has continually been pushing the boundaries of street art.This book is the first ever to bring together the fruits of his extraordinary creativity in one place. With a rich collection of photographs, this coffee table book will present Futura’s work from his early beginnings to his current work, making it of interest not just for fans of his work but also for book lovers looking for a high-quality item.“As an abstract graffiti artist, Futura opened the door to a new form of creativity, paving the road for the most important art movement of the century to blossom. His contribution and the way he inspired then generations of street artists turned him into an American legend.” Madga Danysz

Dynamic Phenomena is the catalogue of the exhibition by the same name that took place at the Magda Danysz Gallery in Paris in March, 24th 2018. The book is a collection of more than 100 images and two critical texts that describes the style and the techniques of the young Argentinian–Spanish artist Felipe Pantone. Felipe Pantone’s work is at the cutting edge of street art. Straddling conventional graffiti, typography and abstraction, his work fuses bold elements of graphic design with highly evolved geometric shapes to create an ultramodern aesthetic that complements and reacts with the stark modernity of our cityscapes. Pantone explores the subversive potential of undermining artistic, scientific and electronic languages by practicing hybridization, betting on impurity and the contagion of typographical, figurative and abstract media. Dynamism and transformation are the vehicles that Felipe Pantone utilizes to describe the strong sense of self-awareness and his connection with our time. He affirms “ The most beautiful thing in art is not the finished piece, but the path to the result: the problems you face, the quest for solutions, and the unknown factors. The mysteries and the street allows me to discover and appreciate this process better."
