Out Of Shapes
Mini Galerie proudly presents Out Of Shapes, a solo exhibition by French artist OX. Blending graphic design, abstraction, and urban visual culture, OX is best known for his bold billboard takeovers—playful, geometric compositions that disrupt commercial signage and shift our view of public space.
“Over time, my ambiguous relationship with art led me through kitsch, comics, post-punk iconoclasm, irony, and street art. Eventually, contextual displays took over—rooted in billboards and photography, yet always pushing against their boundaries. Here, everything steps outside the frame. The rectangle is banished; the shapes are autonomous. They embody the powerful interplay of color and form, and the magical emotion of the original aesthetic shock.”
OX (b. 1963, France) emerged from the Paris graffiti scene in the 1980s. As a founding member of Les Frères Ripoulin, he began working with billboards in the late 1990s. His interventions have appeared in public spaces across Europe and in exhibitions at institutions such as Palais de Tokyo (Paris) and MU (Eindhoven).
