# Vibrant Abstract Graffiti Street Artist Momo Work Could Be Shown in a Traditional Art Gallery By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-artist-momo References: [lifelounge.au](http://www.lifelounge.com.au/art-and-design/news/street-art-by-momo.aspx) & [momoshowpalace](http://momoshowpalace.com) Street artist Momo does not deal in the cute or even in the controversial like some of his fellow [graffiti artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elho-x-andr-saraiva). Instead, he creates [stunning abstract pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-in-motion-exhibition) that could very well belong in a prestigious art gallery. He has, however, chosen to grace urban settings and brick walls with his works of art. Hailing from San Francisco, California, and currently living in New York City while keeping a studio in New Orleans, street artist Momo may work predominantly outdoors with homemade tools, yet he does have the occasional exhibit. MOMO in 74 Pieces is his latest [solo show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-fisher-seaport-gallery). According to his website, street artist Momo's striking work "demonstrates a minimalist postering technique free of printing." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Street Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to incorporate street art into traditional art galleries or urban settings. - **Abstract Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with abstract art techniques and bring them into mainstream galleries or public spaces. - **Minimalist Postering Technique:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative approaches to minimalist postering techniques for artistic expression in various settings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art Galleries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace street art and showcase the work of street artists, like Momo, in traditional art galleries. - **Urban Design and Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate abstract street art into urban design projects to enhance the visual appeal of cities. - **Printing and Poster Production:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the field of printing and poster production to support minimalist postering techniques used in street art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Graffiti NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffiti-wall-collection.md) - [Enigmatic Graffiti Incidents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti.md) - [Drone-Assisted Landscape Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katsu-1.md) - [Provoking Graffiti Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-ruggeri.md) - [Visual Museum Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-campaign.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Graffiti Culture Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1970s-graffiti-today.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md)
