The Miami-based multimedia artist Typoe, born as Gonzalo Reyes, has carved a distinctive niche in contemporary art with his vibrant, often playful, yet conceptually rigorous work. His practice seamlessly blends fine art with street art sensibilities, reflecting a dynamic creative background that began with graffiti and evolved into a sophisticated studio approach. Typoe's art is immediately recognizable for its bold use of color, graphic lines, and a signature visual language that often incorporates elements of pop culture, typography, and abstract forms.

He is widely known for his sculptural installations, which frequently feature large-scale, colorful works that engage with themes of destruction and creation. A recurring motif in his career has been the use of explosives and fire in controlled environments to create unique art pieces, highlighting a fascination with the fleeting nature of existence and the permanent marks left behind. His work consistently challenges conventional boundaries, appearing in prestigious galleries and institutions as well as public spaces and large-scale murals across the globe.

Typoe's artistic output spans a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, and installation. His work often explores the tension between order and disorder, control and chaos. He employs a visual vocabulary that draws from his roots in graffiti, incorporating bold lines, vibrant colors, and dynamic compositions. His sculptures, in particular, demonstrate a playful yet meticulous approach to form and material, frequently utilizing unexpected objects and manipulating them in new ways.

Beyond his individual studio work, Typoe is a significant cultural force in Miami. He is a founding partner of the arts collective and design studio, PRIMARY, a venture that functions as a gallery, creative agency, and collaborative platform. This initiative has been instrumental in fostering Miami's local art scene and connecting emerging artists with a global audience. Typoe's dedication to his craft and community has cemented his status as a pivotal figure in South Florida's artistic landscape, with an expansive portfolio that continues to push the limits of material and form, always maintaining a compelling balance between artistic expression and conceptual depth.
