IRON MAN 3 Artist BASK!
“Hey…working on Iron Man 3, and Robert Downey, Jr. wants your work in the movie.” Bask received a call last year which changed his life and career. Commissioned for a series of paintings this Street-Artist has now gained international recognition for his series of paintings adorning the homes of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr’s character) as well as Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley).
When the Iron Man crew called last year, their offer seemed almost too good to be true. After the Morton Salt Girl remake, they wanted 13 more paintings from Bask to adorn the Mandarin’s hideout, staged inside a mansion on South Beach: seven recreations of past paintings chosen from BASK’s repertoire, three paintings based on the film’s graphics (provided by the production team), and three original new works of Bask’s making from concept to execution. Without much finagling, BASK’s trademark style — a raw, politically-minded fusion of gleeful Americana with symbols of destruction and painterly texture — seemed to fit Iron Man’s vibe. So much so that Robert Downey Jr. decided to snag several of BASK’s works for his own collection.
