WASTED RITA, THE INFILTRATED

Wasted Rita, es una ilustradora y diseñadora gráfica nacida en Nueva
Jersey, que vive y trabaja en Oporto. Sus ilustraciones son agresivas,
sarcásticas, siempre con un mensaje tras los trazos en apariencia simples
y descuidados. La propia sociedad, su entorno y la música punk le inspiran
ese estilo tan característico. Su colección de fotografía Those were the
Days, que realizó durante su estancia de 6 meses en Eslovaquia, son el
pequeño tesoro que guarda en su web y que recoge a la perfección su cerca-
nía a la música punk.

Hemos visto su chica tatuada para el proyecto Tattoo the Girl últimamente,
aparte de otras exhibiciones en diferentes ciudades:

UIVO. Forum De maia, exhibición colectiva (2012)
The Other Art Fair, Londres, Reino Unido (2011)
Brouhaha, by Studiobüro, Paris (2011)
“Sex, punk-rock and job interviews”, Oporto (2011)
Off to Brooklyn, Oporto (2011)
‘’I Heard She’s A Little Hardcore”, Oporto, (2010/2011)

 

Wasted Rita is an illustrator and graphic designer borned in New Jersey, who lives and works in Porto. His illustrations are aggressive, sarcastic, always with a message behind the, ostensibly, simple and neglected strokes. The society, its environment and punk music inspires her so characteristic style. Those were the Days, her photography collection she made during his stay of six months in Slovakia, is the little treasure she saves in her website and that reflects perfectly her proximity to punk music.

UIVO. Forum De Maia, collective exhibition (2012)

The Other Art Fair, London, UK (2011)
