Art director, photographer, designer, and artist Robert Gallardo appears behind A$AP Mob, the controversial editorial turn of A$AP Rocky’s Instagram, and was part of the AWGE collective, which collaborated with Needles, Mercedes, or JW Anderson. sufficient justifications to grant him his own territory. However, there’s more. For eight years, Robert Gallardo has only worn one color.
Evolution, grey, and contrasts
Grey, the color we’re focusing on this week, is a color of neutrality, but it’s also a color of contrasts. It is located between black and white and consists of a series of achromatic shades; literally, a color without color. Grey was associated with poverty because it is the color of undyed wool, but it is also silver, which is synonymous with wealth. Grey is nostalgia, but it also appears in visions of the future.
The grey outfit
Robert Gallardo is pleased with his contrasts. A local perspective on the large corporations he works with. A vital minimalism that contrasts with the maximalism of many of his works. He collaborates with emerging artists as well as A$AP MOB, Playboy Carti, and A$AP Rocky (he directed the RAF video). In the center, there is grey and all of its interpretations.
Gallardo began wearing grey on July 17, 2015, and has continued to do so ever since. Without a specific reason. Some of his favorite artists had identifiable uniforms, such as Warhol’s wig and glasses or Picasso’s striped T-shirts, which he constantly associated with them. Steve Jobs’ black sweater and grey New Balance were not only a fashion statement, but also a time management and marketing tool.
Grey teaches us
Grey came to Robert Gallardo by chance. The day he decided to wear grey and stick with it for the rest of his life. It was the color of rocks and the future; it wasn’t as pretentious as white or as obvious as black. It was perfect.
He has learned that, in the eight years he has worn grey, her life has become simpler and that, in the pursuit of her own style, she has once again experienced the joy of finding new clothes while remaining true to minimalism.ç
Grey’s outward conformity hides a world of intricate details and enables him to develop the idea of life as a component of art. A costume that enables him to create aspects of his life just as he does with his art. Making art is just surviving with style. And that style is grey.
