We were surprised to learn that smiles aren’t the only thing Dr. Nicholas Toscano is famous for. He is also a world famous street artist know as 1Penemy (stands for #1 public enemy)

Dr. Toscano  who balances applied science with countless client-tailored artistic smile reconstructions, makeovers, and recreations it was all to nature for Dr. Toscano would dive deeper into his artistic side

He was heavily influenced and inspired by his famous artist patients he treats, such as Bradley Theodore, Jeremy Penn, Layer Cake, Tripp Derrick Barnes, BY Flore, Producer BDB, and many others. Through their influence he began creating his model-based street and graffiti art in April of 2016. Originally Dr. Toscano’s street graffiti revolved around well-known models that he grew up following, like Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour. He has now rendered his work to showcase modern models like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Helena Christensen, and Adriana Lima.

Initially, Dr. Toscano kept his artistic street graffiti under the radar, but people started to take notice of his artwork on the streets of SoHo and began reposting pictures of his art via social media. His art Instagram @1penemy grew, and models all over are posing in front of the notable “Model Mayhem” street work.

Dr. Toscano has dedicated his life to helping others, whether it be by improving health or simply living more confidently. He is a humanitarian who has discovered yet another way to reform others’ lives. Dr. Toscano, who is no stranger to doing charitable work over the years, wants to utilize his artwork to benefit more charitable causes. He plans to collaborate with some of his artist clients, previously mentioned, for a gallery show. Dr. Toscano intends to donate a portion of his profits to organizations that assist in diminishing women’s struggles such as Model Alliance and the Me Too Movement.

Armando Cabba’s work can’t be placed into a single category, but he does primarily remain in the realm of portraiture. There are little to no other artists out there that can jump from one style to another in such a short period of time like him. He’s got an eccentric aura and he presents the viewer a glimpse into the introspective workings of his emotions. According to Cabba, the old masters and big names of Modern Art have had a major influence on him as he is set up in the historic Parisian district of Montmartre. The caliber of his work combined with his physical setting has resulted in Cabba’s name has been grouped in with the great artists who called Paris home before him.

Each one of Cabba’s paintings feels like a private journal entry. His images are charged with honesty and he doesn’t let the fear of failure or criticism hold him back. We gaze upon each portrait and watch him evolve right before our eyes. He questions and examines his state of mind while also understanding where he stands as an artist in today’s social climate. Each piece tells a personal story that invites the viewer to engage with their own experiences. As much as he explores his psyche, Cabba isn’t shy to address politics and other present day controversies. His more recent Renaissance series is an example of how he’s protesting against social media restrictions. With all that he has created and shared with the world, we feel hopeful and proud of Cabba. There is no denying this man’s talent and he’s well on his way to being one of art’s most influential painters.
