UFO907

American-based artist UFO907 began writing graffiti on the streets of New York in the early nineties. Trading paint brushes for spray cans after leaving Parsons School of Design disillusioned he took on the moniker “UFO" but quickly began using a simple spaceship as his unique and recognisable tag, assisting in honing his style and artistic development.

It was in industrial shops that UFO907 received training on carpentry and fabricating, techniques essential for his current trademark-shaped paintings made out of canvas stretched onto the handcrafted, specially cut wood frames. UFO907 employs unwieldy blue-collar materials such as aerosol, house paint, rollers, and homemade markers.

His urban public artworks combined the exquisite fine arts technique and the rebellious, ironic expression in graffiti, finding a new context for the classical medium and a more delicate translation for the spiritual core of the working class and local culture. UFO907 has had solo exhibitions in New York, Tokyo, Bangkok and Los Angeles and multiple international group exhibitions.
