Obie Platon (Mihai Platon) was born in 1987. He is mostly known as a muralist and street artist. In the last decade he has constantly exhibited in Romania and abroad, his most recent individual and group exhibitions being presented by Kulterra Gallery (Mindtricks, Kaleidoskop, CNNCT/DSCNNCT). He was one of the artists who represented Romania at the World Expo Dubai and he also participated in the eighth edition of Art Safari.

Complex and contradictory, Platon's works seek to deconstruct familiar surroundings and characters, inserting popular symbols and images. Platon is best known for his large-scale, surreal and subversive works that hint to many cultural, literary and philosophical references. His background studies in architecture play a significant role in his work and his works reflect his passion for architectural structures and layering. He mainly uses oil on canvas and draws inspiration from his own travels through Europe and Asia to develop his artistic practice. Between the walls he appropriates and the canvases he works on - two totally different mediums, a connection is being formed by the similar way in which he approaches them.

Obie Platon resorts to iconic visual landmarks, deconstructs an imaginary and reforms it in his own way, showing what "remains" of what "was" and, above all, "how it remained". Ironic, critical, even relentless, with references from pop or classical culture, open to everything new, but with an undisguised respect for a past that is at the foundation of the present, only settling in a specific scheme of exhausting its limits. He is visually overwhelming, being essentially an iconoclast. Religious, political, Masonic symbols and figures, ideology, etc. are all explicitly presented in his works, only to be stripped bare and dismantled.
