Biography
Artistic process
"Iron, in its sensitive and deformable nature, exponentially reflects any mark to which it is subjected, just like the human soul, violable but indestructible".
Deformation process, as well as a workhorse that distinguishes each work, is entirely manual and is based on the use of the Oxygen-Acetilenic blowtorch and grinders to give iron the identity of other materials like paper or fabrics, reproducing in this way banknotes, magazine covers, comic book pages or many other objects, even such as car parts. In this way, new shapes surround characters and contemporary icons painted by the artist, reproducing and mixing the chaotic and decandent scenery of Underground Culture and the brightness of luxury.

Pennyboy (Emanuele Pennazza) is an italian artist. Over the years he began to frequent the underground Rome art scene, as well as studios and workshops of painters and masters. In 2013 he met and established a friendship with the Master Gianpaolo Berto, who made him discover the avant-garde currents of his time, especially those of Italian and American Pop Art. Strongly inspired by the British youth subcultures of the 70's - both musical and cultural - and by the provocative style of fashion designers of the time such as Vivienne Westwood, Pennyboy finds his own artistic style between the influences of English Punk and overseas Street Art. Versatile and multifaceted artist, always looking for the pure visual impact, he began to experiment in his works different elements and mediums such as glues, resins and metals.The continuous research and experimentation and the strong attraction towards industrial materials, led the artist to execute his works on iron sheets, through a new and unique style - "Iron Pop".
