“I have a love for all nations and peoples within Canada and I work to help show that there is a future through art and understanding.”
- OMEN
OMEN’s been setting things straight. Since the late 90s, OMEN has been blurring the 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 has been leading the aerosol movement towards a truce with 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 about them. His use of negative space and ephemeral but controlled lines allows one to enter his paintings in a way that few street artists offer their viewers. He says, “as long as I’m painting with aerosol I hope that I can inspire a younger generation of artists to use the medium to push artistic boundaries and express themselves.”
Artist Omen will be painting a mural themed Diversity at the Vankleek Hill Vineyard.
