Texxy World - PHYSICAL MEDIA

TEXXY, formerly known as CORTEX, made a series of oil paintings and prints who carved a distinct niche in the shadowed corners of contemporary art. Emerging from the raw energy of street art, his work channels the rebellious spirit of stencil and template techniques, echoing the subversive edge of Banksy and the bold repetition of Warhol. Yet TEXXY’s vision is unmistakably his own—a collision of vivid, saturated colors and stark, consuming blacks that pull the viewer into a world both cartoonish and sinister.

His canvases, often large-scale oils, pulse with a graphic intensity, their clean lines and exaggerated forms teetering on the edge of playfulness while plunging into themes of decay, power, and hidden truths. The duality is deliberate: a vibrant surface that lures, only to confront with unsettling narratives. Alongside these paintings, his lithographs and intaglio prints—born from rigorous art school experiments—carry the same weight. These works, precise and haunting, reveal a meticulous hand beneath the apparent chaos, their deep blacks swallowing light like secrets.

TEXXY’s past as CORTEX remains shrouded, a deliberate pivot from one alias to another, leaving behind whispers of early works that still haunt urban walls and private collections. His art resists easy categorization, thriving in the tension between accessibility and enigma, inviting viewers to question what lies beneath the surface—both in the work and in the artist himself.
