Erik Brunetti (born 1967) is an American artist and designer. Credited as the creator of subversive street wear, he is a leading example of the post-situationist approach in design and art. His work focuses on re-appropriating various pop culture themes and creating new aesthetic ideals. It often evokes a provocative commentary on political systems and corporate identity, drawing inspiration from the freedom and exuberance of the 1960's. As one of the most influential street wear brands during 1990's, FUCT has become a household name and has had a huge influence on the subsequent generation of street wear brands and designers. From graffiti writer during the 1980's to fine artist, Brunetti has successfully maintained artistic integrity, consistently pushing the boundaries of anti-consumerist counterculture through his artwork and designs. His art was exhibited in several venues during the 1990s, including a group show at Team Gallery alongside Tracey Emin, as well as a solo exhibition at OK Harris Gallery, curated by Ivan C. Karp. He has been hailed as one of the most prominent figures to have emerged from American street wear culture.
