Naples-born, Italian graffiti artist Jorit Ciro Cerullo, aka Jorit Agoch, paints fantastic giant photo-realist murals that we actually should qualify as hyper-realistic. He draws inspiration from Caravaggio’s style to depict his large-scale portraits.
Jorit combines a profound realism and a great technical mastery of the pictorial medium with strong messages of a social nature. Jorit began to make himself known in 2005 through a series of graffiti executed in Naples, in the northern suburbs, and in the historic center. The first works, while expressing elements of stylistic originality, were closely linked to the typical expression of traditional Graffiti. Jorit made in this early period numerous paintings on trains on illegal walls and frequented the Yard (train depots where writers usually paint illegally on them) of many European countries.
