It didn’t take long till his newfound passion of utilizing some of the most difficult and challenging surfaces, angles and perspectives possible made him one of Europe’s most unique public artists. In 2008 his decision to close his tattoo shop and move to London was possibly the moment that ODEITH’s artist profile went global. Now based in Lisboa, Portugal is not the sole lo cation of his art. A globe trotter, to say the least, his artworks can be seen on walls all over the planet just as prolifically as in group and solo exhibitions in the same manner. So when you next look at the strange dilapidated corners of abandoned buildings and think to your self »Eye spy with my little eye« ask yourself what ODEITH may be seeing?

Montana Cans SPOTLIGHT get to know: ODEITH Sérgio »Odeith« was born in 1976 in Damaia (Portugal). It was in the mid-1980s when he used a spray can for the first time. He painted some signatures and doo dles on his neighborhood walls. But only in the mid- 1990s, Sérgio had his first contact with graffiti, while some graffiti writers painted outside their neighborhood (Carcavelos), where graffiti had a strong movement. His first experiments were to paint illegally on the street walls and mostly on the railway lines of the Sintra line. The passion he had always shown for drawing found a new purpose. The evolution was impressive due to the dedication to painting large-scale murals in Damaia, Carcavelos, and in many poor neighborhoods of Amadora city. Artists in Focus ODEITH 59
