A statement offers some insight into the artist’s history with the form. “In the ’90s he studied Graphic Arts in Duesseldorf and discovered a passion for woodcut,” it says. “For the past 20 years he has created illustrations and prints with a wide range of whimsical creatures, mostly half animal/half human and preferably in awkward situations. His work can be described as a bizarre balancing act between propaganda, folklore and pop.”

By placing his cutouts in familiar settings, Iurato draws attention to the details in our greater environment. Furthermore, by painting the works in black-and-white, the artist creates a sense of nostalgia, especially around his portraits of men walking along train tracks.
