Amose

French artist Amose hails from Lille in the north of France. He spent four years studying illustration in Belgium but has been more influenced by South American street art like that of Vitché and Vasko as well as traditional art history legends such as Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele.

Amose takes the human figure and distorts and exaggerates postures and the size of limbs, taking care to keep the subject's humanity but remove any sense of nationality, sex or race. He keeps their faces neutral, as if they're wearing masks.

He works in a variety of mediums: ink on paper (sometimes with collage), screenprints on plexiglass, digitally, acrylic on wood and wood collage on paper as well as out on the streets. He's also a part of the Mercurocrom collective and together with Eroné and Spyre, runs a screenprint workshop called La Carpe.
