About the Author

PORK was born and raised in New York City. In 2002, he received a BA in Design from Pratt Institute. As the child of immigrants he is largely inspired by the iconography of his Greek heritage. While his parents overcame language barriers they made their way in a new land and paved the way for him to be a first generation American artist. In his formative years he was heavily influenced by an upbringing immersed in New York City graffiti culture, his street art can be seen all around the world under the moniker PORK. The name chosen as a wink at absurdity as much of his work contains elements of his own playfully apocalyptic ethos. PORK’s work is not only on the streets but has been exhibited in galleries around the world including New York City, South Hampton, Miami, Switzerland, Athens, Mexico City, and more. Over the years his medium has evolved to include light sculptures, and more recently large scale paintings. In a broader sense, his work is informed by his nautical lifestyle, and the inherent romanticism of his time spent sailing the seas. PORK currently works out of his studio based in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
