About this Artist
Form is created by a few lines, colour becomes an emotion, and shapes reminiscient of architectural elements grow and extend into space. Still plains contrast with dynamic elements which divide and cut across the image. DAIM succeeds in balancing a variety of content and techniques with his individual style. His geometric figures and letters obey the laws of light and shadow but defy gravity and curve space. The beholder is sucked into the image or feels transported to new dimensions. It is evident that DAIM’s roots lie in graffiti art. His works, however, nurtured from urban landscapes, also absorb influences from printmaking, painting, architecture etc. Driven by the desire to play a part in the shaping of his environment, to reflect and to question it, he strives to understand his surroundings. His experiences from various trips around the globe, as well as having met many different characters and encountered different perspectives, have clearly shaped his work. A great number of his works, be it canvasses or murals, are results of cooperations with artists from all over the world. DAIM’s style is the unifying thread throughout the different techniques, subjects, and places where he leaves his signature, like a logo with many faces. This distinctiveness Created, sculpted, and produced by Bigshot Toyworks, the All-City Style Train was tremendously popular when we first introduced it in 2005. Supported by multiple custom shows in New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, Moscow, and Melbourne, the All-City Style Trains were embraced by both the graff community and the designer toy community as an excellent platform figure for artists of all styles. At 20" long, it's a large canvas...and with connector pieces included to join two trains together, it provides the artist with a lot more room to work than the average platform toy.
