Oji
Artist Oji learned to draw at the very time when he was introduced to the spray can in 2014.
He was then 25. After a long series of spur-of-the-moment paintings in Paris and New York streets, he started getting institutional commissions from festivals, educational workshops or urban development schemes. Each new work is for him a conceptual attempt to reach for the central place of the human being.
With American painting and graphic design as influences, he started developing his personal style, constantly enriching it through training in drawing and the mastering of colour. Everyone can identify with his minimalist portraits or his eye-catching foliage who point to a longing for nature in an urbanized world of concrete. His sense and use of poetry nurse a deep feeling for messages of humanism.
