Renowned graffiti artist and streetwear pioneer OG Slick has transformed a Los Angeles gallery into a fully immersive experience for his recent show. OG had teamed up with MIMAKI’s UCJV300 printer technology and Drytac’s SpotOn Floor 200 media to create vibrant, durable, self-installed floor graphics for his immersive LA gallery show, extending his artwork and branding seamlessly into the physical space. Born in Honolulu and based in Los Angeles since the mid-80s, his work ranges from traditional murals to public sculptures, toy design, streetwear, and site-specific installations. For this exhibition, OG’s goal was to invite viewers to step inside his world, literally.
To achieve this, OG collaborated with Ernest Contreras, Senior Print Solutions Specialist at MIMAKI USA, to design and produce bold floor graphics that energised every inch of the gallery. Printed on the MIMAKI UCJV300 printer and installed by the artist himself, the graphics combined professional quality with hands-on flexibility. Material choice for the project was critical and Drytac’s SpotOn Floor 200 was selected for its simplicity, performance, and time-saving qualities. Featuring a removable, slip-rated adhesive, it allowed for easy, bubble-free installation without professional installers and ensured clean removal after the one-month show. As a one-part media requiring no lamination, it streamlined the entire process. Paired with MIMAKI’s UV inks, the result was visually striking and highly durable.
