Ed Oner
Casablanca / Morocco
Ed Oner, whose real name is Mohamed Touirs, is a Moroccan street artist born in Casablanca in 1994. After nine years of graffiti, he turned to street art and developed a passion for philately, an art form that blends typography and drawing. He transforms stamps into large-scale works on walls and facades, helping to promote Moroccan culture.
Ed Oner is a pillar of the Moroccan graffiti scene, founder of the first Rencontre des écrivains graffeurs marocains and of the Taraza graphic art collective. He constantly explores various graphic and aesthetic universes such as comics, illustration and painting. A discreet observer of these scenes, unperturbed by the passage of time, he uses line, contour and color to create striking characters, reflections of universal beings who observe and question the viewer.
