Fifty24SFCoro Ortho Vinyl

Upper Playground, Fifty24SF and Ningyoushi, presents a new mini figures series, GET SMALL San Francisco. GET SMALL San Francisco features four recognized San Francisco street and fine art artists, Jeremy Fish, Sam Flores, Coro, and David Choe. Each artist brings one of their original characters to life. Ortho by Coro, Billy Bronze by Sam Flores, Bunnyskull by Jeremy Fish, and Siamese Twin by David Choe. Each is packaged in a San Francisco city bus box.

Representing the great lone star state, Coro originally hails form the filthy border town of El Paso, where he began his career defacing public property with spray paint. Through this illegal medium he honed his interest in the arts. In 1997, Coro moved to San Francisco, where he studied traditional illustration at the Academy of Art College for three years. After amassing a massive debt in college loans, he left school and began working in the production art industry, where he resides today. Coro feels that "variety is the spice of life", and this is evident in the broad range of subject matter and varied execution in his art. Although he uses digital media for work, his true passion lies in the time-honored tradition of oil painting, which occupies all of his free time, in an obsessive-compulsive kind of way.

Fifty24SF is from the same guys who brought you Upper Playground, a collective of the most amazing & cutting edge artists fom around the globe.
