#OneLife183 – Twice
Contemporary artist #Onelife183 doesn’t hide the inspiration behind his tag; it’s a tribute to New York Graffiti artist Taki183, a prominent figure in the late 60s and 70s. From legends like Disney to our everyday experiences, #Onelife183 infuses life into his art.
He operates on a digital platform, offering hand-embellished prints. Despite high demand for his pieces, #Onelife183 deliberately keeps his edition sizes small. This choice ensures that those who acquire his art possess something unique, shared by only a select few in the world.
#Onelife183’s weekends as a child were spent with his artistic grandfather, who became an early inspiration. His teenage years saw him experimenting with street art, setting him on the path he treads today. These formative experiences influence the digital artwork he produces now.
Known for his distinct pop paintings, #Onelife183 incorporates his trademark spray bottle (can you spot it?) and often includes comic-inspired ‘pow’ or ‘pop’ elements. His pieces employ complex collage techniques, creating dynamic mashups of pop culture that challenge the ordinary and mundane. His art questions mainstream media values and encourages a sense of life’s freedom. Are you ready for this journey?

What is a Giclée Print? – pronounced ‘zhee-klay’
A giclée print is essentially a high-quality fine art reproduction. It involves the application of archival pigment inks onto archival fine art paper or canvas.
The term ‘Giclée’ was coined by Jack Duganne, deriving from the French word that means ‘a spray or a squirt of liquid.’ This term is specifically used to describe the giclée printing process.
In this process, images are generated from high-resolution digital captures of original artwork. Subsequently, these images are printed using archival quality inks on archival fine art substrates, typically canvas and fine art papers. This combination of materials ensures giclée prints possess exceptional stability and lightfastness.
