A1One aka Tanha

Iran might not be the easiest country to live in, but even there, street art found a way to grow with A1one was one of its pioneers. The fact is that his chosen name derives from the fact that, for a while, he could be considered kind of a lone gun in his field.

Combining different techniques and western or persian calligraphy, his work shows us that where there’s a will, there’s a way to spread your message. From his first steps to his current work, the political message has always been there, but now A1one knows the impact of what he does goes way beyond the streets of Tehran and Iran. Nevertheless, he stays true to his path, because even though there are no laws about street art and grafitti in Iran, there’s a whole lot more missing that makes his work worth even more that what our eyes can see.
