OX is a French street artist who uses existing billboards and advertising infrastructure by removing the original adverts and cutting and pasting them back together to create new and often humorous works. OX first gained notoriety with the Frères Ripoulin collective in the 1980s, and developed his reputation creating works on the streets of Paris and abroad. OX's work can often be recognised by the use of simplified abstract forms and the interaction between his chosen location and its environment.
