A. L. Crego
A. L. Crego is a digital art pioneer who has become known across the world for breaking barriers and building bridges between the analog and digital art worlds. His creations elevate gif art to another level. His past artwork has breathed life and movement into static street art by turning them into immersive gifs. Today he continues to push boundaries with new artwork releases that explore the complex relationships between man, earth, and technology.
A. L. Crego has been experimenting and creating within the digital realm for as long as he can remember. His artwork today is completely digital in terms of process and presentation, yet he takes a broader approach in terms of his subject matter which often incorporates images and elements of the physical world.
This fresh approach to gif-art as an artistic genre has captured the attention of patrons and publications across the world. Despite intentionally staying away from social media, he’s managed to achieve internet virality. His artwork has been a constant topic of discussion on Vice, as well as ArchDaily and BoredPanda. He’s done commissioned work for Vice, Nissan, Espolon, Perrier, some international newspapers, and art blogs. He’s also designed loops for many DJs and artists including Dj Snake in Miami.
Crego has held exhibitions and residencies with street artists like Emancipation (Marseille), Creença for Void Projects in Barcelona, (Spain), Matiere Noire (Marseille), Desordes Creativas, Ordes (Spain), Urvanity 2019, Madrid (Spain). Festival Asalto, Zaragoza (Spain). Some collective exhibitions of gif art too (Russia, Japan, US, Lithuania, Argentina, Colombia, Brasil…) and many collaborations with other artists (Borondo, Joaquin Jara, Axel Void, Faith47, and Phlegm…
Diving even deeper into the medium of internet art has prompted A. L. Crego to create and publish a number of new works on the blockchain. Crego’s latest artworks are a prime example of his sophisticated approach to gifs and digital art in general. These new artworks echo themes of the collision of physical and digital worlds. They explore dichotomies of technological and primitive; urban and rural; and more.
