Federico Pepe is a multi-faceted artist who views communication as a cultural platform created by the mingling of disciplines. With an education that enables him to move freely between different fields, over the years he has built up a very personal body of work intended to break down the conceptual separations between art, advertising and design, assuming a fluid identity which appears to escape definition, as he could equally well be described as an artist, publisher, cultural figure, designer, or simply creator tout court.
In 2006 he opened the publishing product and associated exhibition space Le Dictateur, now viewed as one of the most interesting cultural projects on the contemporary Italian artistic scene.
After ten years as Executive Creative Director of the DLV BBDO and PROXIMITY BBDO agencies, working for top international brands such as Prada, Ray-Ban, Mercedes-Benz, Martini, Rolling Stone, Yamaha and Pearson Group, not to mention Editions Milano, CC-Tapis, Seletti and Frette,Federico Pepe became founder and CEO of Le Dictateur Studio. In 2015 he was a finalist in the prestigious Curate award organized by Fondazione Prada and the Qatar Museums Authority.
