There are many artists who would belong in a “top [insert number here]” list of graffiti artists in Australia, and it would be no surprise to us if Vans The Omega featured in a majority of them. His work is sublime, forward thinking, tenacious and quite often tinged with massive hints of visionary thought. He has a show on this weekend, and if you’re in Adelaide, its a must see.

“Joel Van Moore has been long-consumed by the bountiful allures of wanderlust. Gracing surfaces across the planet with vibrancy and colour, the artist also known as Vans The Omega has received warm acclaim on the global stage of Graffiti Art.

A milestone event in this artist’s career; PLUTONIC RELATIONSHIPS will be the first solo show in his hometown of Adelaide, South Australia. This exhibition is devised to expose the underlying nuances of soul and contemplation that are fused within Vans The Omega’s mindscape, manifested through an array of expressions and forms.

In his own words, PLUTONIC RELATIONSHIPS “is a visual footprint of the myriad of human emotions and conditioning we face within every moment, reverse engineered through sacred geometric visions, textures and soundscapes.”

Hosted on the walls of ABEO’s studio space on Unley Road, PLUTONIC RELATIONSHIPS is a must-see event for the expansive observer during 2012’s SALA Festival.”

Last year SALA brought us a great variety of art and we wondered what would top it – this show, and others that we’ll be sharing with you in the next few days, may very well have.

Awesome.
