Aesthete of transience – XOOOOX

Agamo (PLWT) is a mixed media stencil work by internationally acclaimed street artist XOOOOX. The artist has chosen for the work as a background a metal plate, which with its hard surface contrasts with the soft facial features of the young girl depicted. We see in this work Agamo (PLWT)) only a section of the original full-size stencil. The portrait chosen here only hints at the filigree pattern of the shirt. The hair blown away by the wind and rain indicate that the young lady is outdoors. Despite the stormy wind, she holds us with her gaze under a spell – although it remains open whether she is watching something, or seems to look at us critically.

Born in 1979, center of life in Berlin – Germany’s first street artist with international reputation does not reveal much more about himself. From the age of 15, XOOOOX perfected his graffiti art. With his trademark life-size stencils of styled models, which he sprays on weathered, dilapidated surfaces in public spaces and signs with the two letters X and O of his pseudonym, the art scene became aware of him. At international exhibitions, the self-taught XOOOOX shows mainly abstract paintings, object art, works on paper and photography. Many works are in Berlin and Hamburg among others at the Boros Bunker the work “Rewind”. In the US his work can be found in Chicago and first time in 2022 on Art Miami.
