We are ALMO EFFECT, two people from Cologne who produce art under a common name.

We started in early 2022 with collages, which we distributed on small stickers in the city.

From then on, we tried our hand at various other formats and media. Among them: Tiles, illustrations, skateboard decks and paste-ups. We try to use these mediums to exhibit our art directly and immediately on the street in a low-threshold way for all to see.

For this reason we have installed tiles, stickers and other street art in Cologne, but also in various other cities & countries in Europe, such as the autonomous artists quarter Metelkova in Ljubljana in Slovenia or the Quartier du Panier in Marseille.

The concept behind our works is based on the idea of merging aesthetics or a theme we are dealing with and typographic means in a balanced relationship. This results in form-oriented patterns, as well as composite collages and works, some with a clear political message.
They all pursue the approach of being quickly graspable and being able to convey a feeling or a statement quickly and universally.

In addition, the ubiquitous ALMO EFFECT lettering is to be understood both as a recognition feature and calculated self-promotion, as well as a counterpoint to the advertising-oriented cityscape.

Regardless of how we ourselves interpret and understand our work, what we enjoy most of all is producing work, transferring it from the digital process to real objects such as tiles or skateboard decks, and making it accessible to others in a simple way in the urban space or places in which we move.
