ISAAC PELAYO Isaac Pelayo is a head on crash collision between The High Renaissance and Street Art Movement. In a household where constant turmoil and violence were more apparent than most a young Pelayo met escape and peace within the confines of himself and his own creativity. Hispanic born in the heavy beating heart of Los Angeles on the seventh day of June 1996. Pelayo was caught in the crossfires of everything that surrounded him but art served as his only guidance. After dropping out of college Pelayo turned from his hyperrealistic pencil portraits to oil painting where his passions grew more immensely. As of today Pelayo’s work is most influenced and fueled by the crème de la crème of old master painters like Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Velazquez as well as graffiti artists such as RETNA, Shepard Fairey, and EL MAC. In 2017 his work caught the attention and landed in the firm grasp of renown rapper and collector Alvin “Westside Gunn” Worthy. He has created several album covers and artworks for the Buffalo rap moguls music label Griselda Records including his personal collection. Pelayo’s paintings are widely recognized and sought out from all over the globe. His collectors include Sean “Diddy” Combs, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Peezy, Jeff Hamilton, Shepard Fairey, Jaysse Lopez, and Everlast of House of Pain just to name a few. Pelayo is often described as the coming of A New Renaissance. The juxtaposition between his meticulously rendered brushwork of classical style imagery and loose expressionistic careless drips with the use of oil paints, spray paint, and oil sticks create a dramatic atmosphere that is nothing less than a sexy intoxicating marriage of two worlds that don’t inherently belong. The motifs we see in his paintings feature a third eye accompanied by a smiley face which was also adopted by Westside Gunn on several projects during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic which led to Isaac’s recent growing success.

"Rebel" Mixed media on wood 2023 This is my piece for this year's #elvelorio2023 @elvelorio which will be held tonight at @plazadelaraza from 7pm to 1am. This year's theme is a tribute to women icons who have a major tribute to academia, politics, art, literature, music or the cinematic industries. I have chosen to pay tribute to #CarrieFisher who have portrayed the character #princessleia and later #generalorgana in the #starwars legacy. Princess Leia was one of the characters who have represented a strong woman on screen, giving me a better example of what women in leadership roles look like. In my style, I painted a brown girl dressed as Princess Leia holding a photo of Fisher with marigold in her lap. I painted an indigenous character because George Lucas drew references from Mexican Revolutionists Colonel Clara de la Rocha in Princess Leia's look. She is siting on a stack of stormtrooper helmets painted like sugar skulls. Beneath is a quote by Fisher: "I don't want my life to imitate art. I want my life to be art."

Happy to be back for the 13th year! @elvelorio is like home to me as I have been in every show except one. Over 100 artists is showcased with live music, dancing and other performances will take place throughout the night. Curated by @antoniopelayo of @antoniopelayoproductions and @isaacpelayo , this is a benefit for their nonprofit organization, @pelayofoundation . Come out as every piece of art will be new and catered to this show. More information to come.
