MOMO is an artist working outdoors with systems and homemade tools. His current interests lie with an
evolving range of adapted masonry techniques to draft, design, and organize wall murals. Born in San
Francisco in 1974, MOMO has travelled most of his life, lived in New York for six years and currently keeps
a studio in New Orleans.
In 2008 Rojo published his first monograph “3AM-6AM”, in 2012 Studio Cromie published his second, “In
74 Pieces”. In 2009 Y-3 produced the “MOMO” shoe after a collaborative F/W Y-3 show with Yohji Yamamoto on a 5000 sq ft catwalk-mural. In 2013 he worked with Re+Public Lab to develop a fully Augmented
Reality mural in St Louis, May Gallery hosted his immersive installation show “Butt Joints” in New Orleans,
Studio Cromie produced a Caribbean painting tour and exhibition in Southern Italy, and the New York DOT
commissioned a 200 foot long mural between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
