Welcome to Urban Tribalism

But what precisely characterizes Urban Tribalism, the artistic idiom that is the focal point of Shaded Clouds' life work? It is far more than a stylistic label; it constitutes a convergence of esoteric symbols, elemental cultural motifs, and the human spiritual experience within the vast panorama of the universe. In the hands of Jason, urban landscapes, fauna, and diverse cultural heritages intertwine, weaving a multilayered narrative that is both visually resplendent and philosophically contemplative. The artist employs various media to construct a vibrant, textured tapestry, including spray paint, acrylic, ink, stencils, and collage elements.

The Urban Tribalism Arts Foundation

A cultural art collaboration from diverse communities, remixed with modern tools to educate and promote cultural diversity and acceptance. We can move the world forward with a current outlook by understanding historical aesthetic rituals, stories,  relationships, and artwork. By bringing global artists together to raise money for the critical issues of our time, we can educate and beautify as we move forward.

We are creating a worldwide network of aesthetic collaborators and artistic thought leaders representing their people's hearts. Like champions in the Olympics, they will represent their country by using art as a tool to lead humanity to the path of peace and understanding of traditions, culture, and even historical moments worldwide.

We paint for humanity, we paint for peace, and we paint for understanding. 

“Canada is a cultural mosaic, not a melting pot. And at this polarized time — when people with different political views can’t even sit together and respectfully share opinions I feel it’s particularly important to try to reach out and understand other cultures. We need to start listening and learning from other cultures.” Jason O'Connor
