OakOak 🇨🇵 Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale

[rottenredrooster]

Only known under the pseudonym of OaKoAk, the french artist, originally from Saint Etienne,
transforms the street into his playground.

Original and unexpected, it is what defines his work at best. The artist takes satisfaction to
misappropriate, with humour and poetry, our urban furniture and to make it more visible to
the naked eye.


OaKoAk ‘s many walks for inspiration, he finds imperfections in the most random places,
continuing and completing a picture with what he comes across.

Wizard of the street, he displays a world in which the language is universal and where the
drains do funny faces, the green man from the trafic lights is released and stairs mimic a piano.


This publication reveals, through a collection of photos, the overflowing imagination of an artist,
of which his only goal is to brighten up streets.

OaKoAk’s work blows a breath of fresh air in the heart of our cities.

[illu]

[Blakeies]

Anyone?

[schnulli]

Wondering if anyone purchased OAKOAK's book through Edition Populaire? I ordered one a month ago and it's still not arrived, and now getting no answer to emails to them.

Just interested if anyone's received one, or has any leads at Edition Populaire.

[seqret]

They're very slow and never answered to my emails. But it will arrive I'm sure

Was going to order one aswell

[rottenredrooster]

Ordered one when they first went to sale.

Arrived super quick but that was when they weren't inundated with poster orders.

[Blakeies]

Anyone know where to pick up oak oak originals?

Can a C-Type photograph be considered an Ice-T? Referring back to Babydave's thread - dont think anyone actually touched on photos

I think if a photo is a 1/1 then its an OG
Lots of very established artists have photos as their medium and will often sell them as a 1 off original

Now is this the traditional method of using film and developing the photo - I can see how that is viable if you bought the negative with the photo but in the days of digital imagery how can you be certain it will never be produced again.....

[vytis33]

Picked up one of the OakOak pieces. Great price for a 1/1

[twist65]

don't really get photos-as-originals either but for 50 nicker signed and framed you can't grumble at all, even at that mini size - you could buy about 200 for the price of a Slinkachu..

think i'd prefer this book though

Oak Oak is a young man from Saint-Etienne (France) who loves to take a walk in the city. But unlike any ordinary tourist looking for historical building and the most daring architectures, Oak Oak seeks insignificant details. A small crack on a wall? That is precisely what he will be drawn to! Instead of seeing a defect in construction, he would rather see a web spun by Spider-Man. A post has been knocked over?

Instead of blaming whoever failed to put it back in place, he would rather make up a story to explain why it is down. Therefore, Oak Oak is an unusual lateral thinker in an urban environment. Welcome to his world...
