Having painted extensively on a global scale, American artist MADSTEEZ is a name that rings bells in both realms of art and street culture. Bright colors and rich details are used in his dynamic portraits that became his trademark. MADSTEEZ is almost blind in one eye, capable only of seeing kaleidoscopic swirls of color. His other eye works just fine, the purple, four-eyed ladies he’s best known for can attest to that. As for commercial work, MADSTEEZ have collaborated with the likes of Nike, Red Bull or Honda, linking the disparate worlds of fine art, street culture and advertising in his unique visual styles.
For his Essentials, MADSTEEZ lets us in on a slew of goods that reflect his dynamic and unique lifestyle. Accessories from Louis Vuitton, Nike, Knockaround, Members Only show his taste for quality design. On the tech side, he is always carrying his Apple 15” Retina MacBook Pro, a Canon 5d mark III with lenses, a GoPro Hero 4, Eskuche Headphones and Manfrotto Carbon Fiber tripod.
The California-based artist also always keeps his Lost Surfboards close to empty his mind in between murals. The well-equipped essentials is rounded out with MADSTEEZ’s “WEENseuss”, his Dachshund dog which makes recurring appearances in all of his projects.
