Residing in California ARMO's work is a collaboration of typographic elements and exploration with the formal structure of graffiti . By looking

at graffiti and studying typography's visual commonalities as lettering, much can be discovered and revealed. As graffiti matures and diversifies,

more and more of it's aesthetics filters into contemporary art. It has gained acceptance in popular culture at large and now comfortably accepted as

a contemporary mode of communication. Graffiti has mass appeal due to its illegality and excitement. Typography is omnipresent in today's PC-

based information society. ARMO is Striving to blur the line of typography and graffiti striving to find relationships between the two forms of

communication. A underground cutting-edge artists who push the boundaries of painting and illustration.



A pioneer and leader in the new Alta

Modern genre. The art of ARMO, a style known as “Alta-Modern”, abrasively erodes away at the line between two significantly

widespread methods of communication: he takes styles from graffiti and digital typography to amplify the features of both. ARMO will

challenge the viewer’s comfort zones by augmenting direction and variety to their limits, making colorful displays harshly intriguing. Upon first

impression, one may think that they have seen things like it before, but this demands its own type of attention, as it is an advance upon what was

the cutting edge in urban art. It is almost as if ARMOs work is an explosion of chaotic color and expression, a sort of unity between machine

and humanity not unlike electronic music. ARMO delivers an outburst of vision: the mashing of cultures his mixing board.
