Sexdreams 'Modern Poetry' Series Available
Sexsdreams is the alias of Gioele Corradengo, a multidisciplinary Italian-Argentinian artist born in Milan in 1996. Drawn to urban art from an early age, he began by spraying graffiti across the city’s outer districts, developing a loose, punk-inflected style that pairs raw mark-making with day-glo colour. His signature motif is a wide-eyed, cartoonish face that he calls “the dreamer,” a character he repeats on walls, windows and canvas to suggest a restless inner world colliding with public space.
Working in acrylic, spray paint and ink, Corradengo builds layered compositions where dripping tags float over soft pastel clouds, creating a tension between aggression and whimsy. Recent pieces incorporate wedding dresses, sneakers and reclaimed wood, pushing his practice beyond traditional street supports. In 2024 fashion house Justin Alexander Signature invited him to hand-paint graffiti motifs onto silk gowns for its spring collection, merging bridal elegance with street energy and expanding his audience from alleyways to catwalks.
Despite the fashion crossover, Sexsdreams continues to paint unauthorized walls throughout Milan, Barcelona and Berlin, believing that surprise encounters keep the work honest. Limited-edition prints and original panels are released through Stowe Gallery and his own online drops, each piece stamped with his scrawled tag to certify its origin. By fusing irreverent humour with dreamy pastel palettes, Sexsdreams offers a fresh voice in European street art, proving that a single recurring face can travel from train yard to runway without losing its restless spirit.
