David

Work created in reference to the mythological character who fought against Goliath. It is composed of 4000 letters.

Beyond the message conveyed by the text, graffiti is an identity mark. The style of a writer is defined by his letters. It is the very essence of the graffiti writer, the letter becomes his message. His work is a modern calligraphy. The letters thus free themselves from constraints and norms, to be destructured ad infinitum and offer a spectacle limited only by the imagination of its author. Wildstyle" is a style of graffiti in which the letters are intertwined, merged and extravagant. The ends of the letters are dynamic and can be transformed into arrows or spikes. Letters are re-imagined; it becomes difficult to decipher a wildstyle to a new eye. In contrast, the "bubble" (also called flop or throw-up) simplifies the letters to the extreme, leaving only the movement. This circular style with tapered ends is done with speed, often in seconds. The impact of a flop lies in the pattern it forms with the letters. With Emrod One's creations you have the opportunity to enter the world of a graffiti artist. Seemingly cryptic, it takes the form of mosaics to reveal a message, an aesthetic of street art.

EMROD ONE presents the maturation of his work. To express his calligraphic obsession, he applies his talent, composing images following a mosaic technique, assembling thousands of photographs of the graffiti he has encountered.

Using aluminium as a support, he works the letters in different shapes and textures, assembling impressive creations. Depending on the version, a digital paint job is then done, reinforcing the character of each work. His works find their value in taking a distance, to create a movement in space, they invite to be analysed closely and contemplated from afar.
