Agent x

Agent X, refers to himself as a cultural explorer and agent of the unknown. He creates experimental multimedia collages, paintings and 2D artworks. Described as "Pop Art with a thought", Agent X brings together pop culture, technology, fashion and music in visually complex amalgamations that express the concerns of the global, postmodern world and the dark side of consumerist, media-obsessed culture. His work enters a unique intersection between the aesthetics and philosophy of Futurism, the social critique of the Dada movement and contemporary artistic movements ranging from Pop Art to Superflat.

Agent X was raised in Connecticut and studied in New Haven and Atlanta before moving to Canada and studying at the Art Institute of Vancouver, where he now also resides. Agent x has exhibited worldwide, including London, Singapore, Los Angeles, Germany, Amsterdam, New York, San Francisco, Spain and Toronto.

Agent X often combines the prints of the past with the glossy world of modern magazines and newspapers, adding paint and other mixed media to create the paintings that cleverly critique humanity's current obsessions and where they are leading us. While he presents a modern, urban finesse to his work through influences from music and fashion, the underpinnings of his work delve into loaded socio-political subject matter.
