About the artwork

This metallic blue-grey canvas features a handshake that runs horizontally across the work. Each of these hands is tagged with hard-to-read lettering. The background, also in a blue-grey gradient, reveals orange paint stains produced in the dripping style. This work, created in the midst of a global pandemic, seems to be a symbol of cohesion and solidarity at this particular time. Indeed, accustomed to bright colors, this is one of his darkest works, reflecting the social context evoked.

Expert opinion

A rising star in the urban art scene, Onemizer is a young artist whose diverse productions are firmly rooted in his time. Best known for his vivid colors, this work stands out from his usual practice, giving it a special place.

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.

“What I really enjoy is spending eight hours on a canvas, doing and redoing, achieving the perfect effect. And at the same time, I like it when there's a flaw, when the viewer can see the energy, the spontaneity.”
