Sagamoor

GRAFF-STRACT

Often, in one's endless pursuit of contemporary art, you never know quite where to start. So, I offer you Sagamoor.

A Philadelphia native, Sagamoor's urban, cultural and academic life experiences have allowed him to fuse his artistic style into a synoptic expression of his inner vision.

Sagamoor has developed an extremely unique style, with an intensive background as an illustrator (anime), graphic designer and graffiti artist. Always using a variety of mediums, he marries his abstract interpretations, illustration and geometric influenced designs into what he calls his art style, “Graff-Stract.” His use of his surroundings and what crystallized his creativity echo throughout his growing body of work.

Sagamoor's accredited artistic talent is consistently utilized in all aspects of the contemporary art world. From urban fashion design (Miskeen Originals) to upcycled furniture design, his innate artistic eye and knack for discovering and creating fresh ideas are a strong blend of characteristics, which make him an ideal candidate in many creative supportive roles.
