Atom + Wow is a visual artist duo originating from Germany. The pair consists of the artists known as Atom and Wow, who are recognized for their significant contributions to the graffiti and urban art movement that has evolved since the 1980s. Their work often bridges the gap between traditional street-based muralism and formal gallery exhibitions, utilizing a blend of high-energy aesthetics and technical precision.

Atom, whose career began in the early 1980s, is often credited with helping to define the European graffiti style through his innovative approach to letterforms and character design. When collaborating as a duo, Atom and Wow produce large-scale works that frequently appear in international festivals and specialized art lounges, such as those featured in Dortmund. Their artistic output is characterized by a vibrant use of color and a focus on what is sometimes referred to as the atom style, a mid-century inspired aesthetic that emphasizes scientific motifs and sleek, futuristic linework.

The duo remains active in the 2026 art scene, participating in group exhibitions and solo showcases that highlight the enduring influence of urban subcultures on the broader visual arts landscape. By maintaining a practice that values the raw energy of their origins while refining their output for institutional spaces, they have established themselves as key figures in the history of German urban art.
