Artist Profiles: William Basso

William Basso graduated with a BFA in Illustration from the Parsons School of Design in New York. He worked in the special effects field for a while, and has contributed to such films as Edward Scissorhands, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Interview with the Vampire and more. He has recently been focusing on his own art projects, one show that he was able to have some of his personal work was in Travis Louie’s “Monster” show that took place at Copro Nason Gallery just a bit back.

He definitely has a unique style. Most of his work seems to be college, printed images and then they are arranged in a layered way. Acrylic paint is then added to the topmost layer. The images online don’t quite show how dynamic these paintings look. There was one image I found on Flickr that did give a better idea of how these works look Here

He will have some work to show in the upcoming “October Shadows” that will take place at the Gallery Nucleus. Until then head on over to his homepage for more art. Willaim Basso Homepage
