Somewhere between muralism, graffiti, Dali, and the wild images of Robt. Williams, the work of WAONE fascinates. It’s surrealistic storytelling that engages with ideas in a whimsical, edgy way. Here’ more from JUXTAPOZ:
They are such wonderful draftsmen, and a new book Worlds of Phantasmagoria, Vol 1, Graphic Works 2013-2020, delights and documents their works of depth and imagination, timeless monochromatic pieces that harken back to the works of 19th century Mihály Zichy, as well as current masters like Mark Ryden and Todd Schorr. WAONE particularly excels in the settings, where a recurring cast of characters travel , flirting with reality, between physical and dream worlds. It’s an area traversed before, but few have fully transformed an entire city block into a street of surrealism.
