Paul Kostabi born in 1962 is a painter of Estonian origin Born in Whittier
Paul began very young to enter the New York art scene in the early ’80s, when “the Big Apple” was the world capital of contemporary art, thanks not only to the figure of Andy Warhol, but also to artists of the caliber of Keith Haring and Julian Schnabel, Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Street art culture provides the context for Dubuffet’s Art Brut. His works are both precise and intentionally messy, creating a unique style. His first exhibition dates back to 1983, and by 1985 he was showing at Ronald Feldman—then the most important gallery in NY—followed by Carnegie Hall in 1991 and prestigious US galleries until 2000. In 2002, he had his first European exhibition, followed by a long series of prestigious shows worldwide. Paul is also a well-known musician; he co-founded several bands, including Youth Gone Mad (1981), White Zombie (1984), and Psychotica. In 2002
Kostabi is also known for having given the title to the legendary painting “Use Your Illusion” created with his brother Mark, a work that gave the title to the famous Guns “N’ Roses albums vol.1 and 2. His works are present in public collections of absolute level: Guggenheim Museum, New York, Paterson Museum, New Jersey, New England Museum of Art, Brooklyn, Connecticut Millennium Museum, Whitney Museum of Art, Video, Paper Tiger Sessions, Museion Museum, Bozen, Kingston Pop Museum, New York, MACRO, Rome, and have been published in” Architectural Digest
