Tony Sjoman, a Swedish born artist based in New York City, has established a profound reputation for his ability to translate the raw energy of graffiti into a sophisticated language of geometric precision. His work is deeply rooted in the gritty landscape of his youth in Sweden, where he began painting at a young age within the underground street art culture. Over time, his style transitioned from traditional letterforms to a complex exploration of architectural shapes and structured lines. This evolution is characterized by a meticulous attention to balance and a muted, earthy color palette that evokes a sense of timelessness and weight. Sjoman often works with mixed media, incorporating various textures and finishes that give his pieces a tactile, three-dimensional quality on flat surfaces.

The artist is particularly renowned for his large scale murals, which can be found adorning the facades of prominent buildings throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. These installations serve as a dialogue between the rigid grid of the city and the fluid intuition of the artist. By utilizing shadows and perspective, he creates an illusion of depth that challenges the viewer's perception of space. His studio work mirrors this intensity, often featuring layers of paint that are sanded down and rebuilt to achieve a weathered yet polished aesthetic. Sjoman remains a central figure in the movement of post-graffiti abstraction, bridging the gap between the spontaneity of the streets and the refined environment of modern galleries. His contributions continue to redefine how urban environments are experienced through the lens of formal composition.
