At a young age, influenced by the aesthetics of 70s and 80s corporate styles, YorkOne developed an interest in logos and lettering. In the early 80s, he started writing on the streets of Amsterdam during the punk-graffiti wave. When the subway-style graffiti from New York reached Europe, he was right in the middle of it. Years later he developed the recognizable style he uses today, combining the rebellious energy of modern graffiti art with the symmetric forms of typography.
“Convincing ourselves we know it all, we declared obsolete the invaluable wisdoms carved in stone or penned down on lost scrolls by ancient societies long lost and gone. Or just lost, like we are today. Though written off as clichés - no longer deemed meaningful enough to be spoken out loud - they’re still seeping through the cracks of our modern culture. Stripped of their power, watered down into clever soundbites, reduced to smart sounding one liners trying to sell us the forever happiness. This work symbolizes dusting off these old truths, revitalizing them, and giving them back their true power we need so much these days.” / YorkOne
