RUIN, an artist based in Vienna, combines graffiti-style lettering with abstract, figurative, or representational elements in his works. He achieves a balance between letters and imaginative images, often omitting letters, but still incorporating them within the abstract forms and surfaces. The composition appears lively and far from stagnant, with bicycles frequently making an appearance. He uses only a few colors, cleverly combined, and creates intentional breaks with a color roller. RUIN integrates the letters of his pseudonym into the overall picture, often creating abstract, three-dimensional letter constructions. His works cannot be categorically classified as he plays with the overlaps between classic graffiti-style writing and the figurative representations of street art.
