Who is Lugosis?
Lugosis is a contemporary artist, tattooist and graffiti artist from Italy, currently based in Berlin. His visual world is characterized by cartoons, animation and pop culture - combined with personal experiences and youthful energy.
For over two decades, he has been creating his own universe of figures and shapes - often in interplay with icons such as Looney Tunes, Disney or anime. His tools: spray cans, markers and the tattoo machine. But his creative journey also includes brushes, watercolors, acrylics and charcoal. The works at clermont boldly and powerfully reflect this diversity.
Lugosis is a contemporary artist, tattooer, and graffiti artist from Italy, currently based in Berlin. His visual world is inspired by cartoons and animation - drawing on pop culture, personal experience, and youth culture. Over two decades, Lugosis has built a universe of original characters, often blending in iconic figures like Looney Tunes, Disney classics, or anime personas.
His primary tools are spray cans, markers, and his tattoo machine, but his creative process embraces experimentation - from brush paintings in acrylic or watercolor to raw charcoal sketches. The pieces on display at clermont are a bold testament to this dynamic approach.
Why is this fusion so unique?

Limited. Expressive. Unique.
