OMEN

[COOPER COLE]

I dont know if too many here are familiar with his work, but in my opinion he sort of blurs the line between street art/lowbrow art. His background is graffiti based but he creates dark images that could be considered "lowbrow". Omen is based out of Montreal and is starting to make a name for himself. He just had a hugely popular show with Yves Laroche Gallery and submitted a few pieces in our most recent show.

Check out his website www.omen514.com/

Would love to hear peoples thoughts on his work. I dig it.

Omen's great, I love his work so much! I've seen his gallery stuff at Yves Laroche, as well as some of his street art in my neighborhood I really love the scale he paints at, very powerful. He's a really nice guy too!!!

Nice! Good to see another Canadian on the board.

Glad you like Omen's work too...

Next time you are in Toronto you should pop in and say hello.
