“Individually, Paredes and the team of Baca and Romero have built international followings for themselves, but a chance meeting at Miami’s Art Basel 2009 became a motivating and connective component for collaboration. Having grown up walking the same urban NY streets and literally breathing the same air during their formative years as artists they were astonished to find how much their ground for imagining and personal expression intertwined. Although they were raised in different decades and had traveled separate paths the commonality of purpose, personality and intellectual aspiration was as compelling as it was mysterious. The more they talked the more they recognized how their mutual passions for artistic rebirth and renewal, their collective memories, and their belief in modeling creative innovation for new generations, had given dawn to something new, gritty and forceful for them to explore together. Within days an astonishing trust, based in shared values and intentions, had developed and the three artists found themselves painting into each other’s urban landscapes.”
- words straight jacked from David Kent on the UR site.
