Manage episode 336478392 series 3370250
Roc Sol is an independent hip hop artist, muralist, mixed media abstract artist based in Miami, FL. He is also known for the events he has hosted for the community, more notably his event called “Rocfest”. Growing up learning about the elements of hip hop culture, he used his influence and background in graffiti, bboying and emceeing as his inspiration for his art and music. In 2013, he released his debut mixtape, "Tracksides: Volume 1". The project was mixed by DJ Frogie and featured various local artists, DJ’s, and producers.
He has mastered his abstract art style, finding influence by artists such as Basquiat, Damien Hirst, and Kandinsky while still using elements of graffiti to define his technique. He developed his stained-glass graffiti patterns, creating his signature look for most of his art pieces.
In November of 2021, Roc Sol began learning about NFT’s and all the different communities within the digital space. During Art Basel 2021, he was invited to a private Bored Ape Yacht Club event called BAYC BASEL where he was able to paint 15 Bored Ape canvases live for members of the Bored Ape Yacht Club. After Art Basel 2021, Roc Sol decided to form a mural team called “Project Roadmap” to create large scale NFT murals for various NFT communities. The team consists of Roc Sol, Dias and Professor X.
