About the artwork
This work on a wooden pallet was created using mixed graphic processes. Somewhere between drawing and graffiti, this wooden panel features alternating English lettering and artistic and popular references. These include the Bart Simpson character by cartoonist and screenwriter Matt Groening, a representation of Snow White from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, and an emblematic character from the productions of famous artist Keith Haring, combined with Banksy's little girl. The transport pallet, an everyday industrial tool, is combined with references from popular culture. In keeping with the reflections of American Pop Art, Onemizer plays with the idea of equating artistic references with TV characters from the world of entertainment.

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.”
