Catalogue Note
Born in Barcelona, the street artist known as PEZ (“the fish”) emerged in the late 1990s with a distinctive smiling fish figure that quickly became his signature mark across the city’s walls. His practice, rooted in graffiti and logo-based street iconography, emphasizes vivid color, accessible imagery, and a consistent thematic commitment to joy and optimism. Over the last two decades, PEZ has developed an international profile through murals, gallery exhibitions, and limited-edition prints.
Catch the Stars III exemplifies his shift from urban surfaces to fine-art editions while retaining the immediacy of his street-based visual language. Produced as a multi-color screenprint by 1xRUN, the work features the artist’s characteristic exuberant palette and graphic clarity. The Printer’s Proof designation marks it as part of a small subset of impressions outside the main numbered edition, generally retained for studio or printer archives. This print reflects PEZ’s ongoing exploration of repetition, character-driven symbolism, and the translation of graffiti aesthetics into collectible form.Made/Created
