Title | Olly Moss
Artist | Olly Moss
Olly Moss has fast become one of Mondo’s most popular artists. His recent take on The Dark Knight Rises sold nearly ten thousand copies, despite being on sale for only 24 hours. The 25-year-old’s minimalist style is as enigmatic as the man himself – he often places a simple yet bold silhouette against a backdrop of powerful colour to create iconic images with a twist. His clients have included Sony Entertainment, Nike, Apple, Levi’s and Penguin Books, with his work ranging from posters for classic films, such as Rocky, Star Wars and Jurassic Park through to artwork for games such as Resistance 3.
This exhibition will be the first ever showing of Moss’ work in the UK, along with a selection of other Mondo artists, and a unique opportunity for fans of pop culture, graphic art or simply beautiful images to see these pictures first-hand.
As part of the 6th thought bubble festival, Olly Moss will curate the UK’s first ever Mondo art exhibition here at White Cloth Gallery. For more info visit www.thoughtbubblefestival.com or to find out about an exclusive print from the show follow the @thoughtbubbleuk twitter for announcements.
