Re: Jeff Soto

Jeff Soto's artwork incorporates many common themes and symbols found in graffiti and pop culture, such as skulls, weapons, and butterflies, along with just the idea of oft-repeated symbols between different pieces, similar to a gang's graffiti over an area. Some of the pieces are also painted on the sides of buildings, like most graffiti is. Some pieces include text slogans, with the art taking secondary importance to the message conveyed by the text, similar to advertisements. While they want you to see and enjoy the art, the art really only serves the purpose of underlining the meaning of the words.
