Omhie - Petting the dog

Omhie is an Italian contemporary artist whose creative journey began in 2003, when asphalt and urban walls became his first canvas. He is a prominent member of the "Gruppo di Avola" an artistic collective that includes renowned figures such as Marco Andolina and Calvo Nino. From his initial ferment, his style has evolved into a passionate dialogue expressed through two complementary artistic souls. Omhie dives into Abstract Neo-Expressionism, where the emotional and physical deconstruction of graffiti is accomplished, transforming the raw language of the street into a stratified narrative that pulses with the hectic rhythm of the metropolis. In parallel, he explores modern iconography, merging the immediacy of graffiti with academic composition to recontextualize Pop icons. Omhie's philosophy is a constant search for authenticity. Every piece is the result of a visceral impulse where pure street instinct meets a sophisticated conceptual impact, making his works highly sought after by international collectors
