PAOLO ZERO-T CAPEZZUOLI
PAOLO ZERO-T CAPEZZUOLI
Paolo Zero-T Capezzuoli was born in Poggibonsi (Tuscany) in 1968. Visual artist and designer, he expresses his creativity through painting, photography, sculpture, printing, and the interactions of forms and materials.
His artistic path begins in the mid ‘80s with the Italian crew CMC (Color Melodies Combo) and he becomes one of the pioneers of graffiti writing, the reason he is then accepted as a member of TDS (The Death Squad), a historic international crew from New York that’s been active since the ‘70s.
Thanks to his collaboration with Slam Jam, a leading company in the distribution of international brands associated with underground movements, which began in 1989, Paolo Zero-T’s talent becomes an important link between fashion and street culture. In fact, the artist partners with and assists Luca Benini’s vision in the birth of Slam Jam by developing Combo, one of the first Italian streetwear brands. He then becomes the art director on the company’s 25th anniversary, designing its logo featured on brands like Stussy, Carhartt, Head Porter, to name a few.
Constantly on the move between New York, Paris, and Tokyo, his artistic works belong to the permanent collection of Fondazione De Mitri and were part of the group exhibition The Bridges of Graffiti during the 2015 Venice Art Biennale.
