Pitch Black | Striking Pop Art Using Cultural Iconography
Pitch Black is a talented pop artist from the vibrant city of New York. Having transitioned from a career as a corporate art director, Black has fearlessly embraced artistic freedom, creating work that ignites inspiration in himself, collectors, and art enthusiasts alike.
“I felt like Clark Kent working in corporations, creating art for business restricted me from utilizing my full abilities. As Pitch Black, I can use my creativity freely and soar to greater heights as an artist. I feel that art is my superpower.
It enables me to create work that evokes emotions in people, art that can improve businesses or neighborhoods through murals and community art programs, and even make significant differences by working with charities that are dedicated to resolving some of the world’s most challenging issues or simply bringing a smile to someone’s face.”
