Sumo’s work can be seen all around Luxembourg, but also in numerous cities around the world. Although an important, formative stage in his artistic development, graffiti and street art are merely one aspect of Sumo’s work on images.
Bursting with statements, slogans, motifs, and intense colours, Sumo’s compositions represent an abstract documentation of moments. His overall concept of time and space fills the picture plane in a sprawling, virus-like mode. Thanks to these countless details, each square centimetre could be seen as an autonomous work in itself, their sum creating a dizzying zoom-in, zoom-out effect.
In this episode, we talk about how Sumo’s early graffiti work and graphic design led to his emergence as a renowned artist in his own right. How he learned the art of selling from the Wolf of Wall St and the benefits of e-commerce for independent creatives.
