"THE POP REVOLUTIOn"
Mattia Bari, known as POPST-ART (the popstar of art), is an international POP Artist and Creative Director based in NYC.
Through FINE ART, design and performance, he has created a distinctive POP universe built around one powerful idea: being
yourself. His work has reached Manhattan galleries, sold-out exhibitions, international audiences, celebrities and global pop culture.
At the center of Mattia Bari’s universe is FAKE®,
“The Mask That Unmasks”. Born in FAKELAND, a world ruled by appearances where everyone wears a mask, FAKE has one mission: to take his off.
A thought-provoking, ironic and controversial caricature of our contemporary world, FAKE turns one of the great contradictions of our time into a POP symbol: the more we try to appear, the more we risk hiding who we really are.
Behind his sweet exterior and ironic name lies a universal message. FAKE’s journey to remove his mask and discover his authenticity is ultimately the journey of each one of us. Through art, immersive exhibitions and performance, Mattia Bari brings this message to life: TAKE OFF THE MASK. BE YOURSELF. YOU CAN BE ANYTHING.
