Bask is a contemporary artist who has gained widespread recognition for his unique style of street art. His real name is Ales Bask Hostomsky, and he was born in Czechoslovakia in 1976. Bask's family immigrated to the United States in the early 1980s, settling in Florida. It was here that Bask discovered his love for graffiti and street art, and began honing his skills in the underground art scene. Bask's artistic style is a fusion of traditional graffiti techniques and fine art. He is known for his intricate stencils and wheat-pasting, which he uses to create vivid, multi-layered images on walls, buildings, and other public spaces. Bask's work often features political and social themes, as well as references to pop culture and advertising. One of Bask's most iconic works is the mural "Rhapsody in Orange," which he painted in 2013 on the side of a building in St. Petersburg, Florida. The mural depicts a woman with long, flowing hair surrounded by a sea of orange, green, and blue swirls. The vibrant colors and bold lines of the mural capture the energy and vitality of the city, while also conveying a sense of whimsy and playfulness. In addition to his street art, Bask has also created a series of fine art pieces that have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. His work often incorporates found objects and materials, such as discarded metal, wood, and other debris. Bask's use of these materials gives his work a raw, gritty feel that is reminiscent of the urban landscape from which it emerged. Overall, Bask is an artist who has made a significant impact on the world of street art and contemporary art more broadly. His unique style and bold imagery have captured the attention of audiences around the world, and his work continues to inspire and challenge viewers to think differently about the world around them.

Bask Iron Man 3 Box Office Archival Print by Bask
Iron Man 3- Box Office Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print on 330gsm Fine Art Paper by Bask street artist modern pop art. "Last June, a friend called me saying that Robert Downey Jr. and the production team wanted to use one of my paintings, When It Rains It Pours, in the next Iron Man film. So I created it to their size specification of 5ft wide and 13ft tall and the piece was put into Iron Man Tony Starks' home in the film. Then they asked me if I’d be interested in doing more work for the Mandarin’s lair a few months later when they were shooting in Miami. I of course said yes, and ended up doing 13 more massive paintings and some set design for them along with the Iron Man mask you see here. They asked me to create a design for the wrap of the film last year. They made shirts and postcards for the set department with that image. So while this doesn't appear in the film it was definitely a big part of the project." - BASK

Bask Face Invader Resting Bitch Face HPM Print by Bask
Face Invader- Resting Bitch Face Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Bask Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. “I wanted to do something special for the run that was going to coincide with the show. So the idea came to mind to not just offer a hand embellished print, but actually make a series of pieces in sets that were all hand-painted. No stencils or silkscreens, I wanted to offer actually painted pieces that are affordable to anyone who wants one. But as excited as I was about this idea, I then had to figure out how to make this happen within a reasonable time frame. Not to mention, coming up with 10 images that I would be able to duplicate almost identically 20 times over. Then the idea of bringing back some of the faces that have appeared in past works. Characters that Detroit inspired me to create. I have to add that this has been one of the most labor-intensive projects I've taken on. There are over 500 hours in these between myself and my assistant. Each panel was painstaking worked over.” - BASK

Bask Thoughtcrime Ant HPM Stencil by Bask
Thoughtcrime Ant Limited Edition Hand-Painted Embellished Paint, Stencil, Acrylic on Wood by Bask Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "These pieces are a continuation of my Thoughtcrime series. The Ant image is painted on a series of weathered panels. This set was completed within the past month. It’s hard to say how long they took to create because salvaging the panels from a variety of places over a long time is just as much of a part the art as laying down the paint on top of them. Each piece has it’s own history embedded onto itself.Each piece is hand crafted and each panel has been painted and processed by me. I like the idea of small production works that let people get a original piece of art for the cost of some prints these days.I have been saving these panels for a while and finally it was time to cut them down and make some art out of them. Paintings of the same stenciled image but each looking 100% original to itself. Each piece has it’s own distinct character and personality while keeping the repetition of the Thoughtcrime." - BASK

Bask Wolf Like Me Original Acrylic Painting on Wood by Bask
Wolf Like Me Original Painting Acrylic on Mixed-Media Reclaimed Wood Panel by Bask Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. “The esthetic of my work is similar to the Detroit landscape. The re-purposed nature of my art plays off of panels, wood, signs, that once were proudly displayed. But over the years they stopped serving their intended purpose and thrown out. The inspiration behind the work I made for this show was Detroit's strengths, struggles, and landscape. I took the opportunity to move to Detroit fourteen years ago, but for a number of reasons beyond my control, my stay lasted only 4 years. However, that was long enough for the city to have a profound impact on my work as well as my consciousness towards social and political issues. And even though I haven't called Detroit home in 9 years, the impression it stamped on me is something I hope I never lose. And it was this appreciation for the influence that DETROIT has had on me, that inspired the work I made for the show.” -Bask

Bask So Hood PP Archival Print by Bask
So Hood- PP Printers Proof Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 310gsm Bright White Fine Art Paper by Artist Bask, Street Pop Art Graffiti Legend. Signed & Numbered Archival Pigment Print on 310gsm on Bright White Fine Art Paper Size: 16 x 24 Inches Release: August 28, 2015 Run of: 50 "This piece was created very late in 2013 and it has many layers. I first processed down panels to get the tiled effect I desired. Then I started to lay down layer of texture which eventually ended with the portrait seen. It was originally made for an event I did at the Saint Petersburg Museum of Art. The show paired 5 artists with 5 locally celebrated chefs to collaborate. The chef was to make a dish inspired by the work. The piece was also made in as part of an on going series of portrait works painted mostly in halftones. I like working with weather old wood for the unique texture it provides. With this piece I didn't want to use a single piece of wood but several to achieve a wood tile look much like the facade of an abandoned building. People should buy this piece because it hopefully speaks to them in a similar way it spoke to me when I made it. People should also buy the print because prints from 1xRUN are simply put, fucking awesome!" - Bask

Bask When It Rains It Pours Archival Skateboard Deck by Bask
When It Rains It Pours Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Transfer on Cold Pressed Steep Natural Skate Deck art by street pop culture artist Bask. Bask quickly began to notice similarities between the communistic iconic propaganda from his youth and the consumer advertising of his teens. He soon discovered that they were simply, two sides of the same coin. Each vying for our short-lived attention spans, all the while selling us (or telling us?) anything and everything from Marxism to McDonalds.
