Omick takes us deep into the secret of his graffiti with Ylyad Sisab, a book that faithfully reproduces his daily graphic research on paper. His sketches are kept to the original scale, with no changes to the layout, and the traces of the felt-tip pen that pierced the paper on the reverse side are left visible. The page layout reflects the diversity and singularity of the forms Omick explores on a daily basis. The exercise leaves room for the accidental and the incongruous. Attention to detail extends to the reproduction of the ink-stained blotting paper used by the artist, which becomes the bookmark of this elegant, authentic work.
