About the artwork
On a black background, the artist superimposes the same graph, his blaze, in different colors. The work is also punctuated by splashes, drips, strokes and stains, adding a dynamic, spontaneous texture. This well-balanced ensemble recalls the intensity and spontaneity of JonOne's urban graffiti heritage, while exploring the depth and freedom of contemporary abstract art.
Expert opinion
This edition perfectly illustrates JonOne's ability to transcend the boundaries between artistic genres, transforming the energy of the streets into a work fit for the gallery.
About the artist
Dominican-born John Andrew Parello alias JonOne was born in New York in 1963. A child of Harlem, he cut his teeth bombing the trains and walls of his neighborhood from the age of seventeen. Quickly and completely self-taught, he made the transition from urban medium to canvas, creating paintings influenced by his own life: hip hop, the street and the subway, reproducing the vision of a graffitied train and its drips. JonOne's practice is characterized by "freestyle", a watchword that imposes no limits, making each of his canvases the result of an abstract improvisation. His first solo exhibition, entitled "Graffitism", took place in 1990 at Galerie Gleditsch 45 in Berlin, Germany. This was followed by group and solo exhibitions all over the world (Tokyo, Monaco, Paris, Geneva, New York, Hong Kong, Brussels...), making JonOne a major artist on the contemporary urban scene.
