JOYS (Christian Bovo, Padova 1974)
Yellow
Spray paint on glass
100x70 cm., framed
Born in Padua in 1974 where he lives and works.  Joys, began his artistic career in the nineties. Like many writers, he began by writing his name on the wall and focused his research on lettering, first as a need for existence, then turning into a need for evolution; he quickly expanded his work, enriching it with thickness and materiality. His research goes beyond the two dimensions and acquires over time a plasticity that appropriates the territory and the fruition of an involuntary and unconscious public.
Hovering between the undeground and the institutional, Joys' research has been recognised by art-system insiders as unprecedented and highly personal, thanks also to his maniacal study of lettering: forms that over time are layered and enriched with levels and lines with which Joys has constructed impossible labyrinths where nothing is left to chance and the forms always obey precise logical and geometric rules.
For years now, Joys has also extended his language to sculpture, using different materials but always maintaining a unique style, the same style that for 20 years has made him unmistakable on walls all over the world.
