Omen
Since the late 90’s, Omen is blurring boundaries between graffiti and street art with his singular style of painting, both on and off the streets. Using spray cans as his primary medium, he contributes to instaure a truce between the aerosol movement and the established art world. Omen’s style is immediately recognizable : often cast in stark black and white, his murals and canvases have a haunted quality. His use of negative space and ephemeral but controlled lines allows the public to enter his paintings in a way that few street artists offer.
