Moco Museum Amsterdam official poster.

Icy and Sot are a duo of artists from Tabriz, Iran. These two brothers, born in 1985 and 1991 are today one of the most important emerging figures in the urban art scene.

Icy and Sot work primarily with the stencil. Self-taught since their beginnings inception, they started their art career creating stickers and posters for some bands from their native city. At that time they did not even know that what they were doing already had a name in the West.

They currently reside in Brooklyn, in the United States and there have their workshop. According to the artists themselves, the whole street art, to a greater or lesser extent, has a political component. In their case, artworks are inspired by their own experiences which obviously have a lot to do with how politics work in their native country. That is why social issues such as human rights, freedom of expression, war or peace are recurrent in their work.

We can see in their works influences of other artists who also work with the stencil as Blek Le Rat, Banksy or Nick Walker but their creations have their own identity and achieved an unmistakable style.

They have held exhibitions in major cities around the world such as Rome, Milan, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, New York, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro and Paris, to name a few.
