The Big Take-Over

Fresh and colorful stuff from adbusting land! Thanks to Rudolf from Urbanshit I stumbled upon the interesting creations of French street artist Ox.

To reclaim his part of public space and make a straightforward statement, Ox transforms billboards into visually attractive collages or huge minimalist patterns. According to Urban Artcore his billboard take-overs can be found all over France, as well as in other European cities such as London. Check out his website to find more pictures of his ‘Affichages’ project.
