Daft Elephant
Created by: daft-apeth (Serge Pizzorno)
Sponsored by: TheMusicLicence
Location: Humberstone Gate
Overview
Daft-apeth is none other than musician and artist, Sergio Pizzorno, also known as the creator, lead songwriter and lead guitarist of psychedelic British rock band, Kasabian.
An alter ego of sorts, daft-apeth throws childhood iconography, his ’80s child’ memories, stream-of-consciousness thoughts and an absurd sense of humour into a motley of acidic, vivid artworks. A Leicesterian with Italian roots growing up in the 80s, Serge’s art regularly features fragments of random overheard quotes, often drawing on his Midlands dialect, comic characters reminiscent of 80s British culture, arcade machines and 80’s television references.
‘Daft-elephant’ pulls together these unconventional influences, with inspiration taken from the duck wall coverings of his grandmother’s living room, a nod to nostalgia given a vibrant and buzzing twist.
