Riyaan Wiener is an artist, musician and photographer from Cape Town, South Africa who calls his signature art style the Shinjuku Effect. Intent on exploring every creative realm, Riyaan has undertaken graffiti mural projects for companies like MXit and has created designs for tattoos, t-shirts, fliers and posters. Composing designs with graffiti and graphic elements, Riyaan Wiener’s art is filled with repetitive, fluid lines, making each artwork appear to have a musical beat of its own that forms ripples in the surface of the design. This effect may be influenced by Riyaan’s training in animation or his years of experience with music making software.
Experience the Shinjuku Effect on Soundcloud and through Riyaan Wiener’s blog. You can also contact the Shinjuku Effect to commission a design.
