Eddie Colla attended the School of Visual Arts in New York and graduated from the California College of Arts with a BFA in photography and interdisciplinary fine arts. He began your artistic career as a photographer, working first for the New York Times and later, several magazines, record labels and ad agencies. However, over time, he has morphed into an opponent of what he terms, “the all-pervasive nature of commercialism” ie, the advertisements that overwhelm many of our public spaces. Eddie's street art first garnered national recognition when he began incorporating images of Barack Obama in 2008. His designs have been transformed into stickers, and album and magazine covers and have been featured alongside Hush, Blek Le Rat, Banksy, and Shepard Fairey as well as at art festivals, shows, and public spaces in Miami, Paris, Los Angeles, Thailand and Mexico. In August of 2011, he completed an 80 ft mural in Little Saigon San Francisco chronicling the Vietnamese diaspora. In 2012, he became the curator at LOAKal gallery in Oakland California, and then the Ian Ross Gallery in San Francisco where he guest-curated "Made in China" a group exhibition where contemporary artists had their work hung side by side with counterfeits produced in an oil painting factory in China. Eddie values death awareness, holding the opposites of personal expression and anonymity, not asking for permission, imperfection, the unordinary, in producing shit, if one has to, to get to something real…and of his work states,  “Some people view what I do as vandalism. I assume that their objection is that I alter the landscape without permission. Advertising perpetually alters our environment without the permission of its inhabitants. The only difference is that advertisers pay for the privilege to do so and I don’t. So if you’re going to call me anything…call me a thief.”--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cutting-for-sign/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cutting-for-sign/support

88 Eddie Colla - Artist

Eddie Colla is a street artist, curator and photographer based in Oakland, Ca. However, given his love and need for travel, you could possibly say he’s based out of anywhere. His work is a synthesis of street art, collage, assemblage and video that crosses and transcends the barriers between the gallery walls and the public space. Mixing photography, paint, wheatpaste and other materials he picked up working odd jobs in his beginnings, Eddie’s work is a foreboding exploration, and reminder, of possible futures...even more so today. In this episode, we talk about his beginnings in New Jersey and eventually enrolling in SVA. His then move from to California to attend CCAC in Oakland. We also touch upon his work in the advertising world as a photographer, the transition into his iconic work “Atavisms”, the inexplicable life changes that lead to his love for Paris and much more In closing we talk about the upcoming online group show he organized with the help of Frederic Steimer, ‘Carpe Diem.’ On Saturday, June 20th. Eddie attended the School of Visual Arts in New York and graduated from the California College of Arts with a BFA in photography/interdisciplinary fine arts in 1991. He began his artistic career as a photographer, working first for the New York Times and later countless magazines, record labels and ad agencies. 15 years later he has morphed into one who counters the all-pervasive nature of commercialism in public spaces. Since 2005, his wheat-pastes and stencils can be found throughout public spaces in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Miami. Eddie's work first began to garner national recognition when his street art began incorporating images of Barack Obama throughout the 2008 Presidential election. His growing popularity landed him attention on internet blogs, features in six published books, and participation in the "Manifest Hope Art Gallery" shows at the 2008 Democratic National Convention and at the Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C. His designs have been transformed many times over, from stickers, album and magazine covers.
