street corner Painting by Onie Jackson

Painter, designer, graphic designer but also composer. At a very young age, he took classes at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, learned nude sketching and then quickly abandoned academic training to join the school of the street through a movement that was emerging at that time, graffiti. A few years later he returned to study and took courses at the Higher School of Graphic Design and Visual Communication in Blois. Graduating in 1998, he worked as a graphic designer until 2003, when he founded Galerie Wall with Guillaume Garrié, Toma Vuille and Kamel sali. In 2006, Onie resumed his activity as a graphic designer and changed direction regarding his personal work. Alternating with the now conventional graffiti, he paints large formats with different media such as aerosol, acrylic, charcoal pastel or even oil on canvas where he lets shine a classic modern style inherited from his experiences and encounters. For 8 years, Onie has been working at the Ulaanbaatar workshops. It is at the bottom of the peaceful courtyard and after climbing the narrow staircase that you reach his workshop. In the scent of paint and turpentine, he alternates between pictorial and musical compositions.
