Ox-Alien is a Dutch artist who began tagging his name on everything he encountered in the late 1980s, especially along railway tracks and in hard-to-reach places. Around the year 2000, he made the transition to genuine street art.
During this era, creating angry characters, developing your own signature style, and showing the world what you were made of was the norm. Instead of wild-styling and tagging, he created a pink flying head with one eye shaped like an “O” and the other like an “X”. Passersby on the street began calling it “Ox-Alien”, and it quickly became the artist's pseudonym. Shortly after, he joined the 'Lastplak Collective', which went on to win the People's Choice Award at the very first Dutch Street Art Awards.

Lastplak is a collective of eleven painters from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of skills. Their mission is simply to paint—regardless of the surface, scale, or location. While most of their work can be found in their hometown of Rotterdam, they have also traveled extensively, creating stunning pieces abroad. In the portfolio below, you can discover Ox-Alien’s work, which often features collaborations with Edo Rath, KBTR, Doodkonijn, and many other artists and friends from the Lastplak collective…

Ox-Alien has also taken part in various mural projects in Thailand, France, and Greece. Lately, he has been focusing more on canvas work, participating in exhibitions and art shows.
