Welcome to Fumeroism
FUMERO is a New York born and based artist known for his signature style - Grafstract - which is the idea or ism of Fumeroism.
Two decades ago in 2006, Fuero introduced a hand crafted street logo across New York City by taking his work out of the confines of the studio and into open air by re-embracing his ‘bombing techniques’ that he initially developed during his teen years as a graffiti tagger. This was the year Fumero made the switch from spray paint to primarily ‘bombing’ sticker and wheat-paste art for the next four years to come.
From 2006 until the spring of 2010, Fumero remained as an anonymous street artist when he introduced his hand-crafted street logo across New York City - an image centered on a simple yet powerful idea; family. Although he goes one step further by incorporating a table in the center describing love and unity emphasized by figures gathered around it. The ‘Table Series Logo’ (TSL) was inspired by his own upbringing where the kitchen table served as the heart of connection and a portal to his past childhood with a personal message, “the family that breaks bread together stays together”. This philosophy is profoundly beneficial for the proper nurturing and upbringing of our youngest and most precious family members, the children.
By 2010, Fumero introduced the ‘Grampa’ wheat paste art that would later become a defining image in his career. After four years of producing an extensive body of sticker and wheat-paste art showcased on public surfaces across the Five Boroughs, he established an undeniable visual presence that led to the artist’s debut into the NY gallery scene. The end of that year marked a turning point during his first appearance at Art Basel, Miami, where he unveiled a large-scale mural of the ‘Grampa’. It gained widespread attention, including recognition in ‘Art in America Magazine’ (2011).
The era of Fumero has made a distinct street art cultural impact and since then has appeared throughout the nation and internationally, South America, Europe, Mid East and Canada. Fumero’s presence on public streets or inside art galleries has been globally recognized and continues to shape and redefine both the contemporary fine art and urban art culture worlds.

In 2006 Fumero creates a logo for the streets and began using urban spaces as a vehicle to introduce New York City and the world the message about the important roll the dinner table has with keeping a family together. The family that eats together stays together. Coming from a graffiti background as kid he was well aware what the term 'getting-up' meant and that is when he began to canvas the city with wheat paste and stickers. It was during Art Basel Miami - 2010 when Fumero first painted in his style known as Fumeroism and it was a large mural of his iconic Grampa image. A few months later in the spring of 2011 was the first time Fumero paints as a professional street artist in the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Fumero has canvased the streets of NY for a decade and his work can be seen all over this outdoor gallery. The Table Series Logo was inspired by a body of work in acrylic on canvas called The Table Series and The Grampa is the iconic symbol representing his anatomical grafstraction. Fumero's ism is the Grafstract.
