Description

Andrew Antonaccio has become a strong force for urban art in Miami in recent years, the fame that resulted primarily from his collaborations with Filio Galvez, a fellow street artist. The two work together under the banner of 2Alas. Andrew is mainly known for his black and white linear portraits and colored geometric abstractions, both of which are a frequent element of his 2Alas creative output. 2Alas?s main focus is creating work that focuses on the juxtaposition of conventional aesthetics and the digital medium.

Andrew is originally from New York City; however, many of his brilliant murals can be found in South Florida. He and Filio Galvez have painted in places such as Italy, Switzerland, Montreal, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Cuba.

The board is an 8? board shaped by Matt Kechele. Matt shaped his first board at age 13 and by 16 he was shaping for Quiet Flight in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Around 1981, he spotted a neighborhood kid pull three backhand 360s on a single wave, he took the grom, Kelly Slater, under his wing and began shaping his boards. This allowed him to fine tune his shaping skills on low volume ultra-light weight performance grom boards. Today, Matt Kechele Surfboards stands among the most established and respected board builders on the East Coast.
