CONTEMPORARY WAR Painting

Born in Iasi, Romania, 1987. The work of Obie Platon has evolved into a thought-provoking, distinct and diverse visual language that currently defines his complex murals, experimental canvases, conceptual objects, sculptures and installations. He finds inspiration in the platonic geometry and philosophy, but is also influenced by east european culture, social beliefs and popular imagery, using a variety of symbols and references to expose today’s social contexts and human behavior, often approached with irony. He has participated in exhibitions and mural art projects across Europe and Asia. He has collaborated with cultural institutions in Europe and China and has been involved in cultural and social projects aimed at regenerating underdeveloped urban areas through art. He has also collaborated with acclaimed artist Roger Waters for his tour The Wall (Bucharest, 2013), as well as with The Sugar Hill Gang, DJ Revolution, HaHaHa Production. Corporate clients include Supreme, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Lays, J&B, Giant, Enel, and others.
