EOCI (Enceladus) is a brand and online art gallery. Founded in 2021, our main focus is making art prints, paintings, murals and apparel. Our goal is to make art that is not boring, traditional, conservative, western-focused and unaffordable. We want to make work that is exciting, avante garde, international, experimental, and affordable—with a focus on themes relating to street culture.

A short bio from the artist and founding CEO, Claudius Phaedrus:

“I like to try to make art that looks like vintage street art from the future. I’ve been inspired by street art and graffiti since I was a kid, and I’ve always loved science fiction, anime, sushi, and Japanese culture. I actually ended up being a sushi chef for most of my life and even worked at a Michelin Star restaurant for several years. I attended art school in San Francisco and received a BA in Japanese language from the University of Hawaii. I’ve been taking art classes since kindergarten and it's my life’s passion to be a full-time artist.

I was poor and homeless for most of my years after high-school. I rode my bike around at night dumpster-diving for food, putting up street art, and going to house parties and raves. Something about all this has made traditional galleries seem so boring to me; completely unrelatable and unaffordable. So I decided to make my own gallery that would be more fun and exciting for me and my friends. And a brand that was true to myself and my humble beginnings.

Recently, both my parents died tragically and suddenly. After that, I was diagnosed with cancer. I just finished cancer treatment in January 2024. I currently live in Seattle but I travel to Southeast Asia often, and I am planning to move to Tokyo.

Currently, I’m very inspired by: Donald Judd, Takashi Murakami, Felipe Pantone, Berry McGee, James Turrell, Shepard Fairey, Banksy, Gerhard Richter, Faile, Otani Workshop, Minna No Kimochi, and I Hate Models”.

Thank you,
