PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT AVAILABILITY

Amir was born in Iran and raised in Canada. He works mainly as a digital artist, although his poetic tendencies lead him to explore with other mediums. Aziz plays with the perceptual limits of media, navigating between visual art and music. Specializing in custom visual art for interiors, his work is mostly comprised of acrylic paint on wood, and Plexiglas compositions.

Perceived as a creature of death it is rather depicted as a humble warrior. The piece is IMOL8’s salute to all righteous rebels. 7th & Willow is collaboration between Amir Aziz and the legendary Trevor ‘Curly’ Peters. Curly is a veteran street writer and aerosol master. IMOL8 is the name that represents the artistic alliance between Amir and Trevor, and is testament of their work to come.

IMOL8 creates a new breed of neo-graffiti, a digital-meets-analog street hybrid. Constructed from several layers of hand-painted Plexiglas, metallic paints, and a digital print, 7th & Willow explores a perspective depth. Brought out by the burning sunset, the panther, dangerous and benevolent, comes out at night, lurking in the still silence of the moon. The black of the panther is a vow of its pride and stealth.
