Illustre Feccia: Street Art as Subversion
Illustre Feccia, who is also recognized as Sagace Bischero, Onesto Delinquente, or Royal Shit, hails from an anarchist squat in Modena, Italy. He pursued illustration studies in Florence and contributed to punk zines. Three years ago, he joined the London-based MINESWEEPER collective as an 'agent of subversicity.' Among his latest creations is a mural featuring a vampire in Bulgaria, completed during a residency facilitated by Krom Bagelsky. His moniker, inspired by 'Feccia' meaning scum, embodies his artistic ideology. Blending Dada Expressionism with Mexican Muralism, he seeks to convey ideas and critique the world around him. His artistic endeavors encompass muralism, DIY printing, subvertising, and tattooing, with upcoming plans for an anarchic illustration book and tattooing.
