He made the decision not to paint trains and instead chose walls and canvases. His compositions also include a multitude of clashing objects and phrases, swirling together in plumes of illicit smoke. Dense, to the point of being difficult to decipher, his pieces embody the graffiti aesthetic of explosion and eruption. A-One gave voice to a certain urban mythology, infusing his works with references to mysticism, spiritualism, and Rasta. Like his friend and mentor Jean-Michel Basquiat, he brought a certain multiculturalism.Exhibitions
