It's always fascinating to come across new street art and graffiti artists such as Oli-B because the techniques, expressions and concepts used by the artist can range so widely. In this case, Oli-B's graffiti work is rather abstract. Colorful, odd and at some points disturbing, his cartoonish depictions encompass a bunch of different influences.
Although there isn't much information out there about the artist himself, Oli-B's work speaks for themselves. Highly creative, he creates pieces that live both in gallery spaces and public areas. On the street, his work is more eclectic in that he illustrates different scenes that are not as abstract as his gallery work. In the gallery, Oli-B takes on a more Picasso-like tone that is completely arresting.
