Vans The Omega

Roughly based in Adelaide Australia, Vans the Omega has been creating & painting letterforms for over two decades, which has seen him, travel around the globe consistently since 2000. Most of his influences have come from ancient scripts, Architecture, engineering, nature & the idea of movement or balance. Recognised for his attention to detail & search for perfection within letter structure, technique & life has put Vans the Omega in the spot light worldwide & helped to advance the way in which the art form is painted along side his other TMD members & extended family of writers around the planet. Currently the mix of sharp highly technical machine like shapes, seemingly impossible patterns mixed with a traditional graffiti aesthetic based on sound foundations are blending to produce new innovative works which continue to push the boundaries on a world scale & propel his own desires to reinvent & perfect his craft on a daily level. Well versed in a number of disciplines from Design, Photography, Clothing & moving image keeps the ideas & endless possibilities rolling inside this artists head with no end in sight. Stay tuned for the next two decades of progression.

I always like to push my own boundaries with the medium I fell in love with as a kid doing graffiti. This work is all freehand spray paint- frustrating at times, yes. Tedious yes, but the rewards lie at the end with patience. This last week has been exhausting and painful but the end is in sight ready for #project5 #darlingquarter #artandabout #ambushgallery #vanstheomega

An extremely talented artist by the name of @robineleyartist painted this portrait of myself a couple years back titled "omega" Since then he has moved from Adelaide to Los Angeles receiving international acclaim with his last 2 sold out shows. It's a pleasure to watch him continually grow and rise to his own extremely high standards. Follow @robineleyartist for a look into mastery in fine art. All the very best mate

My piece featured in Lyric 3 tonight inspired by Sade- Pearls. Opening Friday August 14th, Inner State Gallery is proud to announce Lyric 3 a musically themed group exhibition curated by legendary Detroit artist Glenn Barr. Gathering over 40 artists from around the globe, Barr had one simple request: Each piece of art must be 12 x 12 inches, paying homage to the timeless beauty that can fit on the cover of a vinyl record. “Music and its lyrics can always stimulate our emotions, as well as leave us contemplating a visual narrative. Artists have used lyrics as inspiration and as a muse in their work to express an idea or a phrase for eons. History has shown us that they have created some of the greatest works in the world when guided by a melody and its words. This exhibition will illuminate the artist’s personal transcription from a song lyric to canvas,” Barr said from his Corktown studio. Head to @1xrun for sales enquires and a look at all the amazing works on display. #vanstheomega
