Franco Fasoli

Franco “Jaz” Fasoli is a multidisciplinary artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Known for large scale murals and sculptural works that often investigate the dualities of self, Franco frequently presents human, animal, and hybrid figures in battle or embrace, intertwined or reflected back on one another. The SODO Track has transformed the portal to Downtown Seattle – a two-mile transit corridor traveled by over 50,000 daily – into an imaginative raceway in motion. This free and accessible urban art gallery is the first to commission over 60 artists from 20 countries to explore one theme, and paint side-by-side. Over three summers, hometown heroes and renowned international artists – invited by curator Gage Hamilton and who self-submitted to 4Culture’s Muralist Roster – produced over 50 murals exploring motion, speed and progress. Their diverse array of ideas, perspectives, and aesthetics come together in a continuous line of sight, connecting the local to global in one communal creative experiment. The SODO Track spans 5th Ave South between Royal Brougham Way and Spokane Street, in Seattle’s South of Downtown (SODO) neighborhood. 64 artists produced 51 murals in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
