Onekean’s Infinite Skies: The Art of Jordan Tran

In a world saturated with visual noise, Jordan Tran, known as Onekean, offers rare and radical simplicity. Born in France in 1988 and raised in the raw immediacy of graffiti, he now creates abstract, minimalist paintings that feel like quiet poems made of light. With every canvas, he opens a window—not to a place, but to a mood, a memory, a breath of space.

Notre Arte proudly presents a curated selection of Onekean’s works, exclusively available through our gallery. These pieces reflect the best of his meditative practice, offering collectors an emotional and aesthetic experience unlike any other.

A Journey from Streets to Stillness

Onekean’s artistic roots lie in graffiti—where urgency, gesture, and color reign. But it was the backgrounds of his early murals that captured his attention: the gradients, the atmosphere, the suggestion of a world beyond. Over time, his practice shifted inward. He traded spray cans for brushes, walls for canvas, and noise for nuance.

What emerged was a visual language of still horizons, translucent color fields, and white-framed silence. His compositions are deceptively simple: layered skies suspended above soft earth tones, infused with an emotional resonance that defies words.

The Craft of Calm

Every Onekean painting is a patient act of layering. Transparent washes build into deep skies that evoke the hush of twilight, the optimism of dawn, or the melancholy glow of dusk. There are no harsh lines, no literal forms—only color, breath, and time.

Though self-taught, Onekean aligns spiritually with movements like Color Field painting and Light and Space. His works channel the meditative calm of artists like James Turrell, inviting viewers to slow down and experience the beauty of simplicity.

International Recognition, Exclusive Access

Having exhibited in leading galleries—such as Maddox Gallery in London and Macadam Gallery in Brussels—Onekean has captured the attention of critics, collectors, and curators alike. His works are now part of significant private collections, praised for their emotional depth and timeless appeal.

Notre Arte offers exclusive access to a hand-picked selection of his most evocative works. Each piece has been chosen for its resonance, elegance, and potential to inspire quiet wonder.
