About the artwork
Set against a uniform black background is a piece of palisade featuring an iconic character from the Disney comics universe: a Rapetou. Well-known for his thefts and burglaries, this Rapetou lives up to his reputation by stealing a painting. Onemizer offers a mise en abyme here, as the stolen painting appears to be produced by the artist himself.
The Rapetou stands out against a background saturated with graffiti, producing a powerful visual effect of color and texture. Like Basquiat in his day, Onemizer employs supports traditionally belonging to the urban environment, thus envisaging the city as a creative surface.
Expert opinion
This work is typical of Onemizer's work, which often pays homage to characters from his childhood, all in a pop approach to urban art.
About the artist
Born in 1987, Onemizer is a French artist. Having spent part of his childhood in Africa, he discovered urban art on his return to France. He began his practice with mural productions before switching to canvas. Between pop references and everyday life, Onemizer works with lettering and color, while maintaining a style inspired by tags and graffiti. His first exhibitions were held in Bordeaux and Paris. His art soon became international, and his canvases were exhibited in numerous galleries around the world (Street Art Gallery in Dubai, Go Gallery in Amsterdam, etc.). In 2014, along with a hundred other artists, he took part in the world record for the largest graffiti on canvas, now in the Guinness Book of Records.
