#TGIIF: The only Instagram account to follow this Friday is @oscarconspiracy
His name is OSCAR and if there was an Oscar Award for bringing calligraphy and graffiti into one art form he would be a contender.
Explore the work of this German artist as he explores the typographic realm with various disciplines and stunning, abstract artistry.
"The technique of the strokes for every single letter itself is definitely based on calligraphic elements. The end results of my artworks I would more relate to graffiti. Personally I see more possibilities with graff. While most of the calligraphic artworks end up in mandalas or similar things, I prefer to combine elements of shadows, geometric structures, proportions and visualisations with it. I don’t like to set limits to my imagination" tells OSCAR in his interview with Montana-Cans.
The artist aptly named "Oscarconspiracy" on Instagram explained in the interview his smart approach to handstyles.
"I slowly started to break the form of each letter. First I built the letters out of strokes. What made it look more interesting, but a way to easy and boring about the time. So I restarted the whole thing and went back to the basic capital letters and tried to draw them as a whole, but for me with a recognizable style. After putting one letter after another, I was even more satisfied with the results of my scripts. That was and is the elementary base for my actual alphabets" he notes.
