108 (born 1978) is an Italian artist in the field of street art from Alessandria. ^[1]

108 has moved from working in traditional graffiti art to painting large and mysterious figures that invade public spaces^[2]. He was one of the first writers to use numbers instead of letters for his name^[3]. He started to work when he was a child on the streets of Alessandria, and used different names. His work has appeared on the streets of Milan, Paris, London, Berlin, and New York City. His first works known by people are enigmatic “blob”-like yellow shapes. It is his firm intention to make visual chaos. His new works are labyrinths, dead trees, 3D objects and installations, but especially black and gloomy shapes^[4]. In the last years, he took part in a lot of international exhibitions: Nusign 2.4 in Paris^[5], Urban Edge Show in Milano^[6], Segundo and Tercer Asalto in Zaragoza^[7] and, in 2007 he was invited to join the project called Walls^[8] inside the Biennale di Venezia. During March 2008 he was invited to join Nomadaz ^[9](a show curated by Pablo Aravena) in Los Angeles with Eltono, Dem, Microbo and other artists to represent Europe in the U.S.A.
