Decoupage artist Marco Gallotta joins Traffic NYC for representation.
 

Marco Gallotta is an Italian-born, New York City based artist. He is globally recognized for his artistic craft of paper-cutting techniques, drawing, painting, and printmaking. He draws inspiration from the city’s urban landscape, distinct artistic facets, and diversity.

He applies his vast expertise in mixed media to his work, combining artisanship and graphic sensibility. Watercolors, inks, and graphite are applied to photographs that are then cut out. Layers of cut-out photographs, paper and other materials are strategically overlapped to create ingenious compositions.

Marco’s clients range from heritage brands to celebrities such as Chanel, Campari, Dolce and Gabbana, Ferrari, Nike, Vogue, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York City, Radio City Music Hall, and Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone, actor Will Smith, NBA player Gigi Datome, celebrity TV host Samantha Bee, Festival of Spoleto (Italy) and fashion entrepreneur Renzo Rosso.

Gallotta studied illustration at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Marco lives in New York city with his wife and daughter, and practices his craft in an intimate studio workshop in West Harlem.
