REMIO. REMY. REMYO. Call him what you want — just don’t expect to know everything about him. Originally from Norway, REMIO is a prolific graffiti writer who prefers to keep a certain mystery around his identity. What is less mysterious is his presence: over the years, he has left his mark across the globe, following one of graffiti’s most fundamental ideas — go places and get your name up.
His unmistakable visual language combines raw tags, energetic lines, bold colors, angular characters, and his iconic “R”, which has become a signature of its own. There is something spontaneous and playful about his work, but behind the apparent chaos sits a style that is instantly recognizable.
In recent years, REMIO has also taken this energy from the street into galleries, exhibiting work in cities including Osaka, San Francisco, Paris, and Venice. On canvas, the scale may change, but the attitude remains. Tags, symbols, characters, and vibrant forms collide in compositions that retain the immediacy of graffiti while opening up a different side of his visual universe. Street or gallery, legal or otherwise, REMIO keeps moving, painting, and leaving traces behind.
REMIO. REMY. REMYO. Different names, same game.
