One Truth - Crew

One Truth Brothers

Das Künstlerduo One Truth Bros besteht aus den 1983 geborenen Künstlern Dr.Drax und Pase geboren 1981. Die beiden Brüder leben in Zürich, wo sie seit vielen Jahren das Stadtbild mit ihrer kreativen und vielseitigen Graffiti Kunst bereichern. One Truth ist aber nicht nur in der ganzen Schweiz bekannt, sondern hat auch in der internationalen Street Art-Szene Anerkennung gefunden. 1998 machte Pase illegale Graffiti Kunst in der Underground-Szene und unterrichtete später seinen Bruder. Seit ihrer Jugend sind die Brüder kreativ engagiert. Nachdem die Brüder die Street Art Kunst selbstständig gelernt hatten, perfektionierten sie im Laufe der Jahre ihre Technik und entwickelten ihren eigenen Stil. Seit 2003 arbeiten sie unter dem Namen One Truth, mit dem sie den internationalen Durchbruch erzielt haben.

One Truth Projects

Ein unschlagbares Team
Jedes Werk von One Truth entsteht als Idee, die als Skizze auf Papier gebracht wird. Pase erstellt das Konzept, die Hintergrundebenen der Leinwand, die häufig aus abstrakten Landschaften bestehen, die aus typografischen Zeichen bestehen. Dr. Drax entwickelt hauptsächlich die Charaktere und Motive. Mit Sprüh- und Acrylfarbe arbeitet das Duo Hand in Hand und schafft farbenfrohe Gemälde mit ihren typischen kleinen Monstern, die nie furchterregend aussehen, sondern eher süß und lustig. Die Figuren erzählen oft persönliche Geschichten der Brüder. Es geht um ihre feste Beziehung zueinander, das Aufwachsen ohne Eltern sowie um ihre beiden Hunde, die ihre ständigen Begleiter sind.

Ein international anerkanntes Künstlerduo
One Truth hat umfangreiche Arbeit für große internationale Kunden wie UBS, FIFA, Google, Red Bull und Reebok umgesetzt. Ihre Werke wurden in Galerien und auf Kunstmessen in Berlin, Hamburg, Basel, Zürich, Lausanne, Göteborg oder Chicago ausgestellt. Nationale öffentliche Persönlichkeiten wie Aeschbacher, Baschi, Gökhan Inler, Daniel Leupi, usw.. sind Fans der Künstler und arbeiten mit ihnen. Sie haben nationale Wettbewerbe gewonnen und an zahlreichen internationalen Festivals und Wettbewerben teilgenommen. Ihre Werke befinden sich weltweit in Privatsammlungen und wurden auf Auktionen mit Legenden wie Banksy, Keith Haring, Obey, Jonone, Seen, Cope2, Futura 2000, Taki183, Quik, Crash, Zevs, Blek le Rat, Invader, Nägeli, Vhils usw. Verhandelt ..

One Truth hat internationale Anerkennung dank des hohen Wiedererkennungswert ihrer künstlerischen Handschrift und Bildsprache erlangt, Kunstwerke im öffentlichen Raum für Stadtverwaltungen und multinationale Unternehmen umgesetzt, nationale und internationale Wettbewerbe gewonnen und wurde von der EDA Schweiz zu den Olympischen Spielen in London 2012 und zum Expo Milano Swiss Pavilion 2015 eingeladen. Die One Truth Dogs sind zu ihrem Markenzeichen geworden, ihre Hunde sind auf der ganzen Welt zu finden #onetruthdog. Die beiden Brüder lieben ihre zwei vierbeinigen Freunde.

An unbeatable team
Each work by One Truth emerges as an idea, which is put on paper as a sketch. Pase then creates the concept, the canvas' background layers, which often consists of abstract landscapes made of typographic signs. Dr. Drax develops mostly the characters and motifs. Using spray and acrylic paint, the duo works hand in hand and creates colorful paintings featuring their typical little monsters that never look frightening, but rather cute and funny. The figures often tell personal stories of the brothers. It's about their solid relationship with each other, growing up without parents as well as their two dogs, who are their constant companions.
