Chekos art
Born in 1977 in Lecce, a small city in Southern Italy, he moved to Milan at the age of 13, where he grew up in the underground school of graffiti of the old Milanese school.
Graphic artist, muralist and street artist, he works in the field of urban art with a strong personal style. His works can be admired among the city districts and along the roads of Italy, Poland, Germany, France, Luxembourg and Spain, and, thanks to his natural xenophilia, he also painted on the walls of Xiemen (China), Yogyakarta ( Indonesia), Tetovo (Macedonia), Vlora (Albania) and more.
Actively participates in numerous festivals, exhibitions and artistic projects in Italy and abroad.
His murals attack the strong social contrasts, representing "paths of historical memory" - through blow-ups of faces, symbols of the urban spaces in which he operates. From popular icons to the great masters of the past, Chekos'art leaves indelible imprints, with the intent not only to redevelop the gray areas of cities but to communicate with the new generations.
In 2012 he founded the 167 / B Street laboratory. A physical space dedicated to art which, starting from the periphery, presents itself as an exhibition center in continuous mutation.

Biography
Gianluca Ferreri, a contemporary Italian artist, was born in 1977 in the picturesque city of Lecce, nestled in Southern Italy. At the tender age of 13, he embarked on a transformative journey, leaving behind the serene landscapes of his hometown to settle in the bustling metropolis of Milan. It was here, amidst the vibrant streets of Milan, that Ferreri found his calling within the underground school of graffiti, steeped in the rich traditions of the old Milanese art scene.
As a graphic artist, muralist, and street artist, Ferreri channels his creative energies into the dynamic realm of urban art, infusing his works with a distinctive and unmistakable style. His artistic footprint spans across the cityscapes of Italy, Poland, Germany, France, Luxembourg, and Spain, with forays into distant lands fueled by his innate curiosity and fascination with diverse cultures. From the bustling streets of Xiemen in China to the vibrant cityscape of Yogyakarta in Indonesia, Ferreri's murals adorn walls in Tetovo, Macedonia, Vlora, Albania, and beyond.
A prolific participant in numerous festivals, exhibitions, and artistic projects both domestically and internationally, Ferreri's work serves as a potent commentary on the societal fabric, confronting the stark realities of social contrasts. Through his murals, he weaves a tapestry of "paths of historical memory," capturing the essence of urban spaces with poignant blow-ups of faces and symbolic imagery. From iconic figures to the timeless masters of the past, Ferreri's art leaves an indelible mark, not merely revitalizing the urban landscape but also fostering a dialogue with future generations.
In 2012, Ferreri embarked on a new chapter in his artistic journey, founding the 167/B Street laboratory—a physical space dedicated to the exploration and celebration of art. Situated on the periphery, the laboratory emerges as a dynamic exhibition center, constantly evolving and transforming, mirroring Ferreri's own evolving artistic vision.
