El Pez

El Pez (the fish in Spanish), whose real name is José Sabate, is a Spanish graffiti artist born in 1976 in Barcelona.

El Pez began his career in Barcelona in the 1990s, where the 19801 Collective was born. There he crossed paths with graffiti artists such as Chanoir, Nespo, la Tétine noire (El Xupet Negre), Christophe Compiano.

Pez became famous for his smiling and colorful fish that he graffiti across town. Since then, he continues to graffiti in the streets but also on canvas, which led him to make a traveling exhibition in Europe with his friends The London Police and Flying Fortress to New York and Los Angeles at the end of 2008.

Pez is one of the founders of the Logo Art graffiti movement, which involves reproducing the same pictogram on city walls to denounce the ubiquity of advertising in urban public spaces.
